Bananas

Kirk Cameron says that bananas are evidence that God exists. I say that apples are good evidence that oranges exist. I'm eating an apple right now. I know it exists because I can see it and taste it. It's red and delicious. My apple exists.

But do oranges exist? An orange is delicious, but it is not red so it is not an apple. I can remember oranges, but a memory is a terrible thing to trust. After all this talk about oranges, my taste buds and digestive system are telling my brain that it wants an orange. Why would I want an orange if it is not delicious? Oranges must be delicious. I can deduce that it has the same purpose as an apple: To feed me and make me happy.

An apple is red and delicious. An orange is orange and delicious. This is a problem. But I have two guitars in my house right now. One is orange and one is red, but they are both guitars. I can say that the only difference between an apple and an orange is the color and that they both fall under the same category. I call this category "fruit." If guitars can exist with different colors, I can accept that fruits can also exist with different colors. There is a more reason to believe that oranges exist than they don't exist. I am even willing to write it: Oranges exist.

If apples exist and oranges exists, I can say with confidence that bananas exist. Kirk Cameron has never lied to me and, as far as I know, has no reason to lie to me. If bananas exist and Kirk Cameron exists, then it proves that God exists. Based on what I can sense from the apple with my eyes and taste, I can confidently say that God exists.
