A quote from Ray Comfort. Any of us willing to admit we can't sleep at night because of the creation/evolution of the banana? I've decided to take him quite literally, and do this poll just to see how wrong (or right, let's be fair.) he is.
I voted he doesn't understand evolution, and I like Bananas.
What Ray doesn't know is that the Banana he says fits so perfectly in our hands because god made it that way is false.
The reason Bananas look like they do today is that us humans made them look that way through selective breeding
Have you ever noticed how silly humans are at eating bananas backwards? Here's the way I do it!
That's interesting... that's how my Russian ex eats bananas. What does that mean? Russians are more evolved than Americans?
@godef Yep that's how my African ex eats bananas too. And me now. So much more satisfying.
So good he showed us twice!
That is the preferred method in my household also.
@GoldenDoll Easier to gt started if the banana's a little green.
I think this guy, like so many others, is obsessed by phallic symbols. HE is the athiest's nightmare.
My nightmare would be two guys shoveling a banana down my throat and telling me it's Satan's member. With only two choice's, up or down.
Ray Comfort doesn't understand bananas which is a damn shame because he is bananas
Would think that bananas would lead us more to Darwin theory of the evolution of monkeys.
Bananas, especially ripe ones, elicit my gag reflex....why are you making me think of them??
Good gawd, what imagery!
@godef ummm, to be perfectly clear......it is the gummy texture of bananas that gags me. Feel better now?
First domesticated over 7000 years ago, bananas have been, over thousands of years, selectively bred to have really tiny non-fertile seeds. Wild bananas contain big, hard seeds and very little flesh.
Without the genetic modification by selective breeding, bananas would be almost inedible.
Our commercial bananas have been specially bred over the years so that they are seedless triploids that do not form mature seeds. Every single Cavendish banana is genetically exactly the same. They are all clones, descendants of one single banana.
If you’ve noticed little black dots in the middle of the banana, you’ve discovered immature seeds that won’t develop, which happens with triploids.
Instead of using seeds, commercial banana trees are reproduced by using banana pups. The banana tree forms rhizomes that form into a little tree known as a pup that can be removed and planted elsewhere.
Which means, they’re all sterile, and each new banana plant has to be manually planted from a cutting of existing banana roots.
This genetic homogeneity is of course quite risky. If a parasite or disease becomes particularly adept at infecting the Cavendish, they could all be affected very quickly.
This is the most clickbait title ever. But I am intrigued, over the past century we've seriously modified bananas which used to have seeds. So yummy.
Wild bananas are filled with seeds an inedible by humans.
They say a man thinks about sex on average every 8 seconds... which is why I always try to eat a banana in 7 seconds or less. Comfort is a demonstrable blithering fool.
