The Banana Argument Insults Everyone

I’m still convinced that Ray Comfort is just an elaborate hoax out to make Christians look stubborn and ignorant . Poe’s Law strikes again, I suppose.

Ray as an individual may be more closely related to bananas than to apes, hence the attraction.

It’s very difficult to deal with those who see an “ordered universe” and set up the question of “randomness or creator”, expecting nobody to think in all rationality that it all came together through random processes.

But that, of course, is the most amazing thing about evolution to those that understand the process – that it turns randomness into order. It’s very simple to set up a computer program to show this, allowing only a random starting point, and random mutations, but picking from the population those that are “most fit” for their “environment”, and you rapidly converge on the solution to your problem, yet all you used were random numbers. And we know through our study of chaos in mathematics, that order will form from apparent randomness quite easily. We see “randomness” when we see things we don’t understand the full complexity of, and indeed, they appear random. But more often than not, it’s either highly complex or chaotic systems at work that are not random.

For those interested, here’s an article that pretty much explains and destroys the banana argument

I have a similar theory about Ann Coulter….

I think Andy Kaufman never died and this ‘Ann Coulter’ person is just another of his faux personas like Tony Clifton 🙂

that’s the ONLY scenario that makes me ‘feel ok’ when I’m forced to think about Ann Coulter.
