Don’t get me wrong, I’m a firm believer in evolution, but please don’t tell me you actually believe this. Evolution is a process of selection where the organism evolving has no actual say in how it evolves. Allow me to demonstrate:
1. “is perfectly shaped for the human hand”. Coincidence; a banana didn’t see a human walk by one day, look at their hand, and say “Hey, if I were a little curvier, they would pick me.” Most likely they grow in that shape because of the size and shape of the bunches they have grown in, which is most likely an energy efficient form of hanging in a tree, and provides an environment for banana spiders, which, for all I know, have an ecological relationship with t...

2. “has a non-slip surface.” WTF. I can’t think of the last time I picked up an apple and dropped it like a dumbass. Non-stick holds no merit.
3. “has outward indicators of inward content. Green lets you know that it's not ready to eat yet. Yellow lets you know that it's just right to consume. Black lets you know that it's far too late to put it in your belly.” Fair point, most other fruits have a similar color indication. Not just for humans though.
4/5.It probably mutated the skin seams, and since they make it easier to get at the fruit/ spread the seeds in feces. Natural selection at its best.
6. “has a bio-degradable wrapper” STFU, it’s a freaking fruit. What else would it have?
7. “Is perfectly shaped for the human mouth” Yeah, it’s also perfectly shaped to: fall on the ground, rot on the vine, be eaten by any number of animals and insects.
8. Please see 4/5
9. Please see 4/5
10. Isn’t this just #1, with the word hand replaced with mouth?

If you want to make some valid arguments about evolution, discuss what anatomical similarities there are in human arms and legs, or co-developmental evolution, as in the case with the hummingbird whose beak has evolved to be longer to reach the nectar of the plant, and the same plant whose flower has evolved to

To lordthor: You hit the nail on the head. Before the banana we know was shaped like it is, there were probably many different shapes at one point or another, but this one worked so more animals ate it and more seeds got distributed. The others didn't work as well so less seeds were distributed until they eventually died out and the popular shape kept going. And the thing about the bacteria is absolutely true. It's also happening because of overprescribed antibiotics. Because bacteria exchange parts of their DNA in capsids, the immunity one acquires can be passed to others. The scarey part is that the immunity is being passed on to everyday bacteria that are EVERYWHERE. This means th...

The scarey part is that the immunity is being passed on to everyday bacteria that are EVERYWHERE. This means that any broken skin can become infected and kill you 'cause antibiotics won't work on them anymore. It's already happening. Google: staphylococcus resistance. Another problem is that the media has people so afraid of bacteria that they feel the need to sterilize every surface their kids come in contact with and their immune systems don't acquire immunity from common bacteria. So, bacteria are getting stronger and our immune systems are getting weaker. Google: Hygeine hypothesis.
