Watch this, possibly the funniest video I have ever seen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4yBvvGi_2AAnyway, are there any other examples out there of coincidental or convenient instances of natural intelligence? |

He forgot to mention that planets have exactly the same shape as meat balls. This means, the Flying Spagetthimonster created the universe!  And also interesting that he equates Atheism with "Darwinism" (by the way a stupid term. Then I'm also Newtonist and Einstenist...) What means "natural intelligence"? Things like the banana shape, survival strategies...? |

I just ate a banana after seeing that.  Nice video, but I have seen funnier videos (like "If God doesn't exist, who wrote the bible?"). Regarding other examples, I believe everything what is tasty and easy to digest would fall under that category. |

The banana is not an example of natural intelligence, but artificial breeding. Wild bananas look like this:  As for the most idiotic thing said by creationists, this one takes the cake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK6tkcxAHIw |

I'm having nightmares about that guy's description of a banana. Ahh, the tip, just the right shape for a human mouth... gently curved for easy entry into the throat.... shiver.. lol.

Fortunately I'm not the only one who had to think about this |

The banana (and everything that's tasty and easy to digest) is a great example of evolution. Humans evolved to be able to digest it easily, and because they could their perception of flavour developed to find the things that were good to eat tasty. That's why we find a strawberry tasty, but not a rotten piece of meat (and that's why berty botts beans were so unsuccessful in the muggle world ) That vid coherentsheaf showed is just incredible. An incredible demonstration of a secondarily lost or at least rudimentary brain in vertebrate evolution. For the first time since the cambrian, we can observe this condition in that lineage. |

It seems someone addressed the banana argument before I did.
