A silly little blog for me to drop the excrement of my mind.

There it is folks, the atheist's nightmare, all wrapped up in a yellow skin. (please note sarcasm right there)

The problem underlying such an argument is the obvious need for faith. And that is what this gentleman seems to have forgotten. To him, the banana may be a perfectly logical and obvious manifestation of a creator. But only because he already has faith in God. Likewise, the more I learn about the way the human body functions, the more difficult I find it to chalk it all up to random mutations over the course of millenia, with no guiding hand in it all. But again, I only see that because I already have faith.

To the person who doesn't have faith, these likely seem like ridiculous attempts to see a creator where there is none. That is fine. We are all free to believe what we believe. But I wish that religous people would realize one hugely significant principle:

We cannot prove the existence of God.

We never will be able to. Likewise, no one will ever be able to prove there is no God. It all boils down to faith. Some of us have faith in a god, and can see his/her/its influence everywhere. Others have faith that there is no god, and see nothing of the sort. Faith is the key, and trying to prove something spiritual will fall flat every time.

True faith doesn't require proof. In fact, true faith often relies on not having any proof.

Bingo.  Maso gets a cookie.  Or a banana.

Erm, I'll take the banana, thanks. As an aside, bananas here are very expensive at the moment (about $10 a kilo) because cyclones earlier this year ruined a large percentage of this season's crop. I miss my bananas...

I don't even like bananas. Why the hell would God make something I could eat so nicely, that I don't even like?

hmmmm, now that's one for the books.
