the current form of the banana is due to humans domesticating it for tens of thousands of years...

...wild bananas look very different and probably taste horrible, plus they're hard to eat

Besides the fact that the "banana argument" is based on the hybrid banana designed by humans (so it does *prove* ID, just a different designer), it is a dumb argument.

Since bananas are "designed" to be held comfortably in the hand, does that mean that a pineapple is not a good food for humans?

Since bananas provide easy access with a "pull tab" does that mean that difficult to access foods (say a coconut) are bad?

The ease of digestion of the banana would seem to suggest that "hard" to digest foods, like cabbage, are bad for human consumption.

Or it means that the "intelligent designer" of the banana dropped the ball when he designed other foods.

Or, it is a dumb argument that you would have to be a child to accept.

Why do people always try to debunk Kirk Cameron, why so much hate towards Growing Pains.

Just because he is bananas?

Yes, I know what you mean. Wild bananas are proof that God does not exist. Wish I would of thought of that first.

I don't think there was ever a banana argument except in Ray comforts mind. I can't convince a friend Ray and Kirk are not a professional comedians.

Of course not. That is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. There is no god. Feel free to disagree, because I will let you believe in what you believe. As much as you think it hurts me, I don't care when I see somebody else that is different from me.

Actually, wild bananas are delicious, but they are hard to eat with big honking seeds.
