Oranges are mostly seedless now because of human cultivation but it seems I remember when I was a kid spitting out big ole seeds everytime I ate an orange. (choking hazzard!!) I would imagine that thousands of years ago they would have been smaller and have a lot more seeds. I don't know that for a fact though.

So have I, when I was about 8.

Ray Comfort has moved from bananas to oranges
Back after a little google search. The original orange, before human's got a hold of it, came from the Citron. Here's a picture.
![]() Edit to add this: https://www.sanpellegrinofruitbeverages....a/c/citron Quote:The citron is a citrus fruit belonging to the category of "originals", and specifically represents the third species that gave rise to hybrids such as bergamot and "wrinkled" lemon. Belonging to a very old species, it would appear that the citron originated in Asia and was brought to Italy around III century BC by the Persian peoples. ![]()

Many moons ago, when I was travelling in the country side in Greece, we ran into a shepherd who invited us to dinner - his family was going to roast a lamb. Meanwhile he fed us lunch, which consisted of crouton-like bread you dipped into olive oil and half of a fruit that looked just like the citron above. You peeled it with a knife, leaving all the white stuff on the fruit, salted it and ate it. It was kind of a flavor burst, almost a shock, mellowed by the white stuff, but damn, it was refreshing and it sure killed your thirst for hours. ![]()
Maybe Ray and his team of mutant retards should examine why Ebola is so perfectly designed to do what it does.

Maybe Ray should shove a banana up his ass and tell us why it fits so well?

Consider the coconut. It does not fit the human hand. It does not have an easy open pull tab. It does not easily fit the human mouth.
Coconuts do not migrate.

Once again, humans take "God's" creation and make it much better.
God is inept.

Akee fruits and artichokes. Chocolate that takes complex processing to make it into an edible food.

Guy looks to plants for intelligent design (which says something in itself, no) but won't put poison ivy in his salad.
That's one cherry-picking sonofabitch.

If "God" was so keen to make "his" fruit edible, then why is it we can't eat orange peel or banana skins—just like
we do apples, pears, tomatoes, grapes, strawberries, peaches, and also a plethora of vegetables? I sometimes wonder whether or not Comfort is just having a MASSIVE piss-take? Nobody on the planet could be this intellectually challenged..... could they? I'm a creationist; I believe that man created God.
They can be even more challenged.The depths of human stupidity are fathomless.
