Well, it's an incontrovertible truth that broccoli is cruciferous.

I want Ray to explain coconuts, not that his response would have anything other than entertainment value.

Technically, broccoli is not only proof that evolution happens, but that it's so simple even a caveman can do it.

Pardon me, so simple even a human can cause it.

And God sayeth upon the 4th. day, " Let us create idiots in our owneth images and let them be named so as Kent Hovid, Ken Ham and the like so that for Our amusement they shall, forever debate that We hath created both Bananas and Broccoli but everything else We have not created but allowed to evolve instead."

Where is the oh brother emoji when you need it.

These twisted idiots make me furious.

And evolution can be quick. Some swifts, in Texas I believe, have adapted to living under road bridges by growing shorter wings within a few decades. Of course now, with climate change, they can no longer migrate and may die off.

It is amazing just how ignorant these creationists are of the theory they desparately want to disprove. They are ignorant about science generally, and about evolutionary theory in particular. I am reminded of a quote made by Philip E. Johnson who is considered to be the Father of the Intelligent Design movement: "Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit, so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools." "This isn't really, and never has been, a debate about science." (It's actually 2 quotes from different times).

I wonder how cubby feels about that (and isn't he dead?)

That's actually true and green beans are proof that gravity is a hoax.

Yes then it was pointed out to Kent several (hundred) times that bananas are a cultivated plant, eugenically bred by people with people in mind, and that they are so far removed from their original shape and form that new banana tree can only be grown from cuttings from old banana trees.
Likewise Broccoli is a hybrid plant and a very new one at that brought about and copyrighted by Albert Broccolli senior the grandfather of Cubbi Broccolli producer of the Bond films .
It is a cross between wild cabbage and cauliflower (a plant first cultivated by the Romans but popularizedd in the 18th century,) and the result then cross bread again with Chinese floretts by Broccolli in the 1970s, this second hybridisation makes the bitter vegitable far more palitable.
However Cubbi Broccolli's claim that Broccolli is named after his grandfather is false, it was purely a case of Nomative determinism, the word comes from the Italian for "Little sprout"

This is another 'banana' story.
For the same reason.
"Broccoli resulted from breeding of cultivated Brassica crops in the northern Mediterranean starting in about the sixth century BC.... Broccoli has its origins in primitive cultivars grown in the Roman Empire."
