Please tell me this fucker is just joking. I can't believe someone is actually using this argument.
Seriously. I just a few weeks ago showed both the "Banana: Atheist Nightmare Remix" and "Atheist Nightmare?! Have a pineapple." videos to stainedfeathers, too.
Let me make this simple, and cut straight to the chase.
Here's the quote:
“The Banana: The Atheist Nightmare”
Note that the banana…
1. is shaped for the human hand.
2. has a non-slip surface.
3. Has outward indicators of it’s inward contents. Green - too early, yellow - just right, black - too late.
4. Has a tab for removal of it’s wrapper.
5. Is perforated on wrapper.
6. Has a bio-degradable wrapper.
7. Is shaped for the human mouth.
8. Has a point at the top for ease of entry.
9. Is pleasing to the taste buds.
10. Is curved towards the face to make the eating process easy.
To write that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to write that no one designed the Coca Cola can."
I can refute this in one argument.
The dessert banana, the so-called "Atheist Nightmare," was developed by humans for human consumption. The damn things don't even seed...they have to be propagated artificially by humans. God did not create the dessert banana.
And then the person goes on to quote Darwin from Origin of Species.
...Charles Darwin stated:
“To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree” Agreed… it does not have the reference recorded so I do not know if this statement is true or false. But let me get to the point at hand.
Allow me to finish that quote. Origin of Species Chapter 6: Difficulties of the Theory, under the section entitled "Organs of Extreme Perfection and Complication."
To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. When it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round, the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei, as every philosopher knows, cannot be trusted in science.
He then goes on (oh, how I wish I could type out the entire section) to discuss examples of primitive eyes and the potential for natural selection to create an eye step by step. Please do not quote Darwin out of context, and if you don't know if the statement is true or false, then don't use it. A magnificent idea, if I do say so myself.
