Disclaimer: Believe what you want. I'm not here to poop on anyones belief system. If you're Christian, Buddhist, Scientologist, Raelian, Hari Krishna, Wiccan or a Moonie, or what the hell ever... I don't care. But I do have a problem with using crappy arguments to back up mostly-unprovable theories. So don't get all huffy just because I'm about to show why strict Christian creationists are bonkers, or at the very least they're use some very dodgy logic.
First, Peanut Butter:
That's right. Since life has never sprung forth from a jar of peanut butter, then God created the heavens and earth in 6 days. Wha-wha-whaaaat?
And now for Bananas:
That's right. God doesn't want us to eat things that are difficult to open and not made for our hands. So I guess that puts the screws to this year's clambake.
Also, someone was adroit enough to point out that the "tab" on a banana isn't on the top, it's on the bottom. Bananas grow upward. Also, bananas, as we currently enjoy them, were engineered by humans to make them more pleasingly edible. Apparently the big G wasn't concerned about the seeds. But most "natural" foods as we have them now have been at least manipulated on the genetic level a little bit to make them pest resistant, extend shelf life and heartiness for travel, and generally more edible. Aren't we defying "His" will just by making our crops more resistant to locusts, considering that one of "His" favorite old school plagues?
I'm just asking.
Now I think I'm going to go have a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
(As an aside: It's going to make the Growing Pains reunion that much more awkward with Kirk Cameron hanging with strict Australian creationists and Boner being a member of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan.)
