Christianists and Bananas, Update
The dude conceded the point eventually, apparently. A reader adds:
The banana in question is a Cavendish Banana, which actually are asexual
offshoots of larger, bulkier banana plants. These supermarket mutants
bear little resemblance to their progenitor, the wild banana, which is
a green oval-shaped thing full of large seeds and liquid (see above). The
domestication of the wild banana began between 5000 and 8000 years ago,
and only after thousands of years of farming and breeding (one can call
that evolution if one wishes) did they even begin to slightly resemble
their celebrated yellow hue, curved shape and 'natural' wrapper.
Christian apologetics has certainly deteriorated over the centuries.
From Saint Thomas Aquinas and Rene Descartes with their long treatises
to washed up child stars with poorly constructed 'common sense' appeals
in only 800 years. The fruit, I suppose, has fallen far from the tree.
The comic strip Jesus and Mo deals with the issue here.
