Bananas and Peanut Butter as Proof of God
Here is a YouTube video in which someone argues from the various attributes of Bananas (and mankind's hands) to the existence of God as creator (and evolution is wrong). Then here is another YouTube video where someone is arguing that because new life is never found in jars of peanut butter, therefore God created life and evolution is wrong.
For the first one, I wasn't sure if this was a joke or not. It looked like the guy might be making fun of creationists. But I'm not sure, because I glanced at a few comments on that page and it seemed that other viewers were not seeing this video as a joke.
The second seems clearly to not be meant as a joke -- it is more professionally done, and the beginning makes clear this clip is not meant to be a joke. But if all I saw was the peanut-butter theory guy, I might have thought it was a hoax created by an atheist -- in which case it would be completely hilarious!
Suffice to say, these are extremely poor attempts at reasoning. I am categorizing this post under "funny", and I did chuckle at these two videos, but really -- these are actually quite sad (assuming they weren't created by atheists to ridicule the reasoning of creationists). I mean, if these people have kids, and the kids are being taught these sorts of ridiculous things, in place of science... then I must ask, a la Dawkins, is that not some sort of cruelty to children's minds?

Thomas,
I assure you that the banana vid is not a spoof. The young guy is Kirk Cameron from the hit 80's show "Growing Pains". He's s serious Christian and has been working on Christian productions for years. They have a website called "Way of the Master", also terrible.

There is a creepy earnestness to everything these guys do.
