I have reconsidered everything
Today's fun from Crooks and Liars. Just watch, especially from about 3:30 to 4:30. Kirk Cameron's Aussie friend explains it all. And they got actual audio quotes from Charles Darwin and Thomas Edison, who have been dead for 100 years! Jesus is magic. It also has pie charts! And because I can't prove God doesn't exist, God must exist!

The great thing about the banana argument, of course, is that God 100% did not make bananas looking like that. In their natural state bananas are much harder to eat than the ones we buy. From Wikipedia:
While the original bananas contained rather large seeds, triploid (and thus seedless) cultivars have been selected for human consumption. These are propagated asexually from offshoots of the plant.
...
Cultivated bananas are sterile (parthenocarpic), meaning that they do not produce viable seeds.

Bananas and plantains constitute a major staple food crop for millions of people in developing countries. In most tropical countries green (unripe) bananas used for cooking represent the main cultivars.
In other words, the big, yellow Cavendish banana we buy in supermarkets is extremely unrepresentative of worldwide bananas and the natural banana state--it is a specific asexual mutant of a single strain of bananas, carefully selected by humans for the tastes of Americans and Europeans. The fact that it suits us is evidence that we bred the damn thing to suit us.

Ha.
He isn't asexual, though. He has a really special thing going with that poor, sterile, non-consenting banana.
