Have you ever seen him talking about bananas?


Pretty funny stuff. Google it, I'm not sure the logic holds up,lol.

I think that mostly comes from his buddy Ray Comfort. Kirks area of study is primarily the Crocoduck

reply

I see. He must be a crocoduckientologist.

reply

Doesn't hold up because he's only discussing domesticated bananas created through "selective breeding" type farming methods over long periods of time.

Wild, natural bananas are a different beast.

reply

LOL, his evidence of a creator is a banana that was actually created through science. What a joke.

Kirk single handedly disproves evolution.... because he still has an ape brain.

Did you read the other thread on this board? Did you see the guy I"ve been having a back and forth with for like a couple of days now? He's kind of like Kirk he claims he is able to turn science on its head. As far as religion goes I'd just like a little confirmation that it's true before I'm expected to devote my life to it, I think that's a fairly reasonable request. Now if it was proven to be true I would still have some reservations because the idea that you will be tortured for eternity simply for having a different world view seems pretty intolerant and evil to me, not the kind of thing a loving god would do.

Yeah, I was keeping an eye on that thread too since I'd chimed in, and I noticed the exchange but didn't want to look through it yet. Gotta keep my blood pressure down =D

The main reason I have interest in Kirk Cameron is because almost 20 years ago, I dealt personally with Ray Comfort, the Fundamentalist nutcase who "converted" Kirk to "hardcore" Christianity. I think the banana "argument" might actually be Ray's, but I'm not sure. I've seen him talking about it in videos and hadn't recalled seeing Kirk talking about it, but I know the two of them appear together a lot.

Of course we can always be little devils and wonder if the two of them share some intimate secrets they're hiding from their wives.......

Yeah from what I can tell he probably went to some website or listened to some creationist who selectively chose science facts that supported the creationist argument (like why haven't crocodiles/turtles evolved much since the Cretaceous Period) while disregarding the countless other pieces of scientific evidence that refuted creationism. Ray Comfort is a piece of work but what's really annoying about him is he is patronizing and he talks down to people when in reality he doesn't even know what he's talking about. The banana argument is pure comedy gold. It's so perfect it had to have been created, yeah the fact that you can't wrap your brain around any other possibility doesn't mean creationism is true.

Now I'm not saying this is true of all Christians, but Southern Baptists especially are the most damning people I have ever met. It's basically worship this invisible deity that you have never seen, have no confirmation that he even exists blindly or else you are going to be eternally tortured. I have a real problem with that because it's an incredibly divisive, bigoted and evil idea and by that logic about 2/3 of the world's population is going to hell.

reply

Yeah, a lot of religious folks try to lean on the word "theory" in the theory of evolution, but there is a shitload more evidence of that than there is an omnipotent being.

reply

I’m also so sick of the phrase “just a theory” because it’s not “just a theory” when it’s a theory it’s at the point where we are essentially treating it as fact.

reply

He thinks people like you are a conspiracy against Christians, it's almost a mental illness.
