They observe the world through a religious lens and make wildly inaccurate connections that are easily debunked. "Hey, a banana has five sides - God made it so we could hold it easily and open it easily." Explain that to natives who tried fruitlessly for generations to open coconuts.

Typically that's as far as they go, especially since many of them are not pro big biz, which is the kiss of death for higher offices.

Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 I seriously can't get over how stupid that banana clip was, LOL! Kirk just sat there too, just for moral support, I guess? Have they never even bothered to research domesticated bananas? Yeah, God created the nice, seedless yellow ones from the beginning....yeah, right! Do some research before you make videos describing something as an "atheist's nightmare"!

Only a complete MORON would buy into the notion that the Earth is only a few thousand years old. ANYONE can pick up a science book and see for themselves why the MOUNTAINS of evidence preclude any such thing in any way shape or form. Screw the banana, explain the whale. Oh, yeah...ya can't!
