The Banana - the Atheists' nightmare

I'm still trying to work out whether this is a p*ss take or not. Whatever it is, I just can't stop laughing at it.

Still, there's no harm in pointing out the folly of their ways to others. :-D
:lol:
There's one such called Andrew Chung who spams the diabetic newsgroups. (He sets himself up as some kind of latter-day electronic martyr; he seems too dumb to realise that most people who object to his religious spam don't object because it's religious, but because it's spam...)

And it's all true because it's in the bible.
Here's another hilarious video from the site I found, before being kicked off:

Heh heh. That doesn't explain the big bang -- a whole lotta something out of a perfectly uniform nothing.

I'm not happy to let something as important as that stand as a paradox. Years ago at college it was the first question I asked to geeks who usually were fervent atheists. What happened before the big bang? Nobody could give me an answer, because nobody knows. Maybe there is a god, maybe there isn't, but if you're being honest, with a question as important as the big bang unanswered, we can't really say one way or another what's going on.

A banana is also a really bad example, seeing as it's been selectively bred by man over hundreds of years to be large and seedless. Hell, the plant can't even reproduce - each banana tree is a clone of another, created by man...
(That's why there is a big panic right now about the banana tree virus in Jamaica... It was sad, I was over there in February and all the trees were dying of a virus... so little genetic diversity in the trees made them easy targets).

But Andrew, this just PROVES that God created the banana: It's not even allowed to evolve by natural selection! :D

On a serious note - it is sad example of what selective inbreeding can cause. Aside from the Royal family of course.
that true, that's why we can roller skate, host tea parties, and make lighthearted jokes when moving piano's
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
A very well respected science writer's take on the whole God debate.
I'm actually a bit surprised this thread has been allowed to go on for so long, considering that the chit-chat forum guidelines state:
C) Discussions of religions or religious philosophies, cultural differences, sex, sexual orientation, freedom of speech, politics and governments tend to end in flame wars and trading insults. Please remember that the majority of these discussions end up being locked.
Ho hum.
the bible pretty much wraps everything up. tells you how the universe was created and everything. you can purchase it in most good churches. there are a couple of spin offs, the thorah and the koran, but these are a bit more fantasy based according to the pope.
Yeah it's true. The funny thing about guys like Dawkins and other fanatics is that if they don't believe in a personal God, why do they talk about God in such a personally bitter way? He's giving Atheism a bad name.
As Albert Einstein said- "there are the fanatical atheists whose intolerance is of the same kind as the intolerance of the religious fanatics and comes from the same source." Well said, Albert.

There are some wonderful quotes from Douglas Adams which, while they do not help in my understanding one jot, make me laugh, and I'll content myself with that.
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."
"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife."
What an interesting co-incidence. Just today someone got this very book to office.

Anyway the only truly defendable position is agnosticism, all the rest is faith. The nutjob religious crowd and the nutjob atheist crowd should be ignored, the rest are able to live together. The nutjob religious must learn that what science endeavours to uncover is truths about the universe and attempting to obfuscate or mislead its findings only makes one look stupid to the educated and will ultimately discredit one to all in the future. The nutjob atheists need to reflect on how little they really know about the universe and understand that what they really hold is an opinion, one that can live side by side with alternative moderate opinions.
Anyway I always find it helpful to remember that many people smarter than you or I who have been and are prominent scientists are religious. Science does not equal atheism.

No; that's agnosticism, not atheism. An agnostic is not convinced as to whether or not there's one or more gods (a-gnostic==no religion); an atheist is firmly convinced that there are no gods (a-theist==no god).
