Fruit - proof that there's no God
So I just eating an apple, right, and you know when you get to the ends, how awkward it is to eat? Especially the bottom, where you have that little hair bit. So I thought to myself, somewhat flippantly, "This is PROOF, if ever proof were NEEDED, that there IS NO GOD". But then I started thinking about it a bit more, and I realised it could be extended to all fruit - nearly every fruit has an entirely superfluous component which only makes eating it difficult. The manky black bit at the bottom of a banana; the leaves atop your strawberries; the pips in watermelon... Why would a benevolent, omnipotent entity create fruits in these ways? Is he testing us? Testing us with fruit? Saying "Sure, you can have your five-a-day, but you can bloody well work for it". It would be like designing a petrol hose which doesn't properly into the petrol hole on your car (technical terms).
