Its not the banana that scares me, it's the religious freaks who make the banana scary that scare me.

I suppose thousands of years of selective breeding has nothing to do with the modern day banana?

There are two lenses. One is concave, the other is convex. Look through one, and you see your surroundings much different than if you looked thru' the other. The same goes for worldviews. When evaluating our reality, people look thru' lenses (worldviews). Now, the evangelical's worldview is theistic; the opposing view perhaps naturalistic. He is looking at his reality thru' his theistic lense. What he sees is not what a naturalist sees. Both start out at basic assumptions of truth, and if one is truelly based in one view or the other, they have closed their 'mind'.

His assumption is that Jehovah exists, and that the universe was made by Jehovah. Whereas, a naturalist assumes there is no god. Because the naturalist already assumes there is no god, watching the evangelical guy describing the apparent intelligent design of a banana would seem funny and retarded to un-informed naturalists who assume there is no god.

But what's retarded is how close-minded some of you open-minded folks are...SOME

If you want to make fun of the guy, by all means do it, but you are not showing any open-mindedness on your part...

You know what, even from a theistic perspective, it's still and idiotic way of explaining the existence of the banana so save your ranting for a situation that actually merits it.

laughing at an idiot's non sequiturs does not make one close-minded. goddamn im sick of every idiot on this board accusing you of being close-minded because you have made up your opinion on something whats the point of searching for answers at all if youre only gonna be labelled when you find them?

as venomx says, the argument is idiotic regardless of your own theistic position.

Not only have you made an opinion, but you repeatedly bash opposing viewpoints, especially if they relate to religion...

You're just as fundamentally anti-theist as these two christian guys are fundamentalist christian.

I couldnt help but blush and giggle a lot...

So it would appear that your arguments indicate that one can never be so comfortable in their position, with the wherewithal that they have factual supportive documentation to substantiate their claims, such that they can freely denigrate the arguments of others should they lack said substance. Is that what you're arguing? How's Santa Clause doing?
