Bananas (TOP TEN)
Imagine you are. an engineer working for Tupperwaretm and given the following assignment – design a new container and its food with the following characteristics:
- The container is one color when the contents are not aged sufficiently for peak taste, then changes to a different color when the food is perfect to eat, and changes to a third color when the food inside has gone bad.
- The container is hard to open when the food is not ready to eat and easy to open when the food is ripe.
- The food inside changes texture as it ages. During transport the food is hard and durable. At peak taste the contents will soften to a perfect texture, and once past prime, it will become soft and gooey.
- The food inside naturally contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.2
- It is so easy to produce that billions can be sold at a few pennies per unit.
- The shape allows for single-handed handling, opening and eating while talking on the phone or conversing with a friend.
- The serving size is perfect for one average adult without waste.
- One last specification is that the food and container are capable of reproducing themselves.
A team of thousands of engineers, working for their entire career, might as well quit and find other jobs because they have been assigned a humanly impossible task. Yet, we already have it – the banana! God shows His power through what He has made; He truly is the Master Engineer!
Psalm 34:8
KJV: O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
NIV: Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

I found the description of making a ‘container’ very interesting, and the acknowledgement of the banana I think, should have been credited to Ray Comf
The video clip of the mousetrap, again I think, credit could have been given to Michael Behe for his understanding of irreducible complexity explained in his book, Darwin’s Black Box’, unless it as mentioned somewhere but not in that particular clip.
Not meaning to sound condemnatory, just believe credit should be given where it’s due.
That said, I’m enjoying this course very much, and look forward to completing it.
