[nukkad] Banana - the long-awaited proof

Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above 
principles. -George Jean Nathan, author and editor (1882-1958)

I saw this on a website dedicated to 'exposing the errors of evolution'.
Most of the site is full of factual errors, over-reaching conclusions
and logical fallacies but I found this list very interesting. Under the
title 'The banana-the atheist's nightmare', the author says:


Note that the banana:

* Is shaped for human hand 
* Has non-slip surface 
* Has outward indicators of inward content: 
  * Green-too early, 
  * Yellow-just right, 
  * Black-too late. 
* Has a tab for removal of wrapper 
* Is perforated on wrapper 
* Bio-degradable wrapper 
* Has a point at top for ease of entry 
* Is pleasing to taste buds 
* Is shaped for human mouth 
* Is curved towards the face to make eating process easy 

The last two are really stretching the point (I mean, how much
of an effort is it to turn a banana towards your face) but the
rest are very interesting. 

A lot of these features apply to most fruits and vegetables but 
the creationists have siezed upon the banana and are using it to
justify their belief.
