I am currently reading Frans de Waal, and there is a reference in the text to a TV segment involving a banana. I googled it. It’s from some religious program, where a guy is proving that bananas were created by God, listing the reasons why. The funniest part is that the banana he’s holding, which was developed by humans through hybridization and selection, is quite different from the small wild bananas that this guy has probably never even seen.
“If you study a well-made banana, you’ll find that it has roughly three ridges on one side and two on the other. If you prepare your hand to grasp the banana, you’ll find that there are three grooves on the far side and two on the near side. The banana and the hand are perfectly made for each other. You’ll discover that the creator of the banana, the Almighty God, has made it with a non-slip surface. It has external indicators of its internal contents: green – too early, yellow – just right, black – too late. (…) Notice that there is a point at the top for convenient insertion, the shape perfectly fits the human mouth, it’s soft, easily digestible. It’s even curved towards the face to make the whole process much easier. Seriously, all of nature testifies to the genius of God’s creative design.”
In the comments, he was asked to comment on coconuts
