Fruit on a Mission
I've come to an understanding with atheist. Atheist simple do not believe in God or a higher power. Period. Anything else is debatable.
Lets for a few minutes talk about how many different fruits there are in the world. To save on space I linked to a few extensive list to browse. Take your time and then pop back in here to read on.

111 Fruits to Eat Before You Die
Man that's a lot of fruit! So many question!
Why so many fruits? I guess because there are so many species of plants. But...
How did all these plants figure out how to make fruit? Then make them so that animals, bugs, and people like it?
Are plants really smart enough to know how not kill us with their fruits? I've been told if you eat some red berries they can kill you.
I've been told some berries taste good to get the birds to eat them to spread their seeds around in their droppings. Some fruits have specially formed skins or shells that protect them in the animals digestive tracks. So...
How did the plants figure this tactic out?
Does evolution work psychically? How else is the seed in the squirrel's stomach suppose to tell the plant it's a failed mission. Tiny radios?
"Mission Control this is Seed 1. Come in Mission Control."
"Go ahead Seed 1 this is Mission Control."
"Mission Control I have a breech in the outer hull, loosing life support, all system down!"
"Mayday Mayday! Seed 1 Going Down!!"
I don't think so.
So how do plants, our wonderful providing companion, know what they know and do what they do?
Explain it to me please. Because the only real explanation I can come up with is right here:
Genesis 1:11-13 (New International Version)
Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
Genesis 1:29-30 (New International Version)
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.
So here's a good chance to show me plants are just a random chance not a creation of God. Good Luck! If you all want to discuss engineered fruits like the banana go see Ray.
