Ba-nah-nuh? Does anyone else say it like that? Or is it just me and my "Michigan accent" that find that odd?

He sounds kind of Australian, I think.

I'm at work so no video. Can someone give me the cliff's notes?

[/ QUOTE ]
Kirk Cameron and older guy are sitting in front of a mountain lake. Older guy does all the talking.

"Behold the atheist's nightmare" (holds up banana)

"if you study a well made banana you'll find that on the far side there are 3 ridges, on the close side there are 2 ridges. if you get your hand ready to grip a banana you'll find on the far side there are 3 grooves on the close side two grooves"

The guy now inserts the banana into his hand through an openening made by his thumb and forefinger in a manner most reminiscent of hand signals meant to insinuate sex.

Other features of "all-mighty god's banana" include:

- a non-slip surface
- has outward indicators of inward contents
- it has a tab at the top like a soda can does
- "when you pull the tab the contents don't squirt in your face"
- has a bio-degradable wrapper
- peel sits gracefully over the human hand when peeled
- "has a point at the top for easy entry"
- "just the right shape for the human mouth"
- chewy and easy to digest
- "curved towards the face to make the whole process easier"

"Seriously Kirk, the whole of creation testifies to the genius of God"

As absurd as the leap is in this conversation, it really isnt much worse than most ID arguments, including Flew's reasoning discussed in the "conversion" thread.

The best part is that Kirk seems to be trying hard not to laugh.

Kirk Cameron's family are a bunch of religious nuts. His career now consists solely of straight to video Christian movies (most of whom have an apocalyptic theme) and other religious nonsense. What you're interpreting as "trying not to laugh" is really the smug self-satisfaction of someone who is completely brainwashed and deluded. I found the video more sad and pathetic than anything.
