It happened on an episode of the "Hellbound Allee" internet radio show.
You can read about it on their boards.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

I was doing some searches for the audio and found this podcast.
On that page is well is the following description:
quote:
Every atheist loudmouth has a dream--the dream of putting a tired, dog-eared Christian Apologetic argument to rest. That dream came true for me on our show 103: Going Bananas with Ray Comfort.I know, I know--anyone's kid or dog could have refuted the Banana Argument. But not everyone's kid could get Ray Comfort to say to him, "okay, okay, you can have the banana." You can have the banana. Music to my ears. I now claim the banana in the name of atheism, and especially in the name of Hellbound Alleee. If any Christian tries to refute evolution by telling you that the banana fits perfectly in the human mouth, you send them to me. Because the banana argument is dead. Celebrate with your friends by slicing up a bunch! Chill them in a pie, put them in your cornflakes, mash them for your baby, or blend them in your smoothie. It does not matter, because the banana belongs to US.
Which I found quite shocking. It is typical to argue that evolution is an atheistic theory. Of course, most agree that this is in fact bunk. But from the writing above, it seems as if this atheist agrees.
Have they been successful into making it second nature that evolution and atheism go hand in hand? Or am I reading too much into this? |
Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I don't think it's that evolution is inherently atheistic as it is creationism is (mostly) inherently christian, or at least one form of it. For all intents and purposes, creationist apolegetics is christian apologetics. Crazy fundy christian apologetics, but christian nonetheless.
And while I suppose it's possible for an atheist to reject the theory of evolution, I've never met one who has. Evolution isn't an atheistic theory, but most atheists accept evolution.
However, I agree that saying "I now claim the banana in the name of atheism" was taking credit for more than can be supported.

It could as justifiably be said that atheism belongs to bananas, but that wouldn't sound as good.

Me, too. I hereby claim the banana in the name of Humanity in General. Let the monkeys try to get it back.

| There you go Halfmooner - it's people like you who give Skeptics a bad name. We gain an inch (or a fruit), and you decide to declare INTERSPECIES WAR!!! HAVEN"T YOU SEEN PLANET OF THE APES?!?! I for one feel that there are more than enough bananas to share with our primate friends. Even if the primates don't eventually evolve into bigger more intelligent versions of themselves with guns, I for one don't want to have feces thrown at me. |
