== Atheist Delusion ==

In 2016, Ray Comfort's "The Atheist Delusion" won the award for "Best Science Film" at the International Christian Film Festival.<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/09/28/creationist-ray-comfort-just-won-best-science-film-at-a-christian-film-festival/ Creationist Ray Comfort Just Won “Best Science Film” at a Christian Film Festival]</ref>

== Dawkins non-debate in the Debates section ==
{{tq|Sorry but it seems notable that Dawkins, who debates frequently around the world, refused to debate Comfort despite a very large monetary incentive"}} Actually, no. His standard response to creationists who want to debate him is "That would look very good on your CV. Not so good on mine." Generally, debates between scientists and anti-science loons are not a good way of show who is right, because of [[Gish gallop]]s among other things. It is completely unsurprising that Dawkins will not debate Banana guy. That Comfort is willing to pay big just shows how desperately he wants recognition. --[[User:Hob Gadling|Hob Gadling]] ([[User talk:Hob Gadling|talk]]) 11:16, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

:Can somebody please explain how a non-debate is a debate? Comfort wanted a Dawkins debate on his CV, but he can't have that, so he needs to have "not having debated Dawkins" on his CV instead, as the next-best thing? --[[User:Hob Gadling|Hob Gadling]] ([[User talk:Hob Gadling|talk]]) 07:14, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

== "...and preaches in Huntington Beach, California." ==

The wording "...and preaches in Huntington Beach, California" is unclear. It could refer to him preaching in a church. Actually, according to his face book page, "If you're ever in Huntington Beach, CA we preach every Saturday, Lord willing, at the base of the pier from 1:30-3:30pm." Alas, I could not find a reliable source that discusses this, but there are a boatload of videos on youtube showing him doing it. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 18:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

:I just looked at some more unreliable sources and found a lot of them talk about Comfort criticizing [[Westboro Baptist Church]]. One example:[https://www.gospelherald.com/articles/50652/20140319/christian-evangelist-ray-comfort-banned-from-facebook-for-anti-hate-speech-remarks-concerning-westboro-baptist-church.htm ] Does anyone know of any reliable sources that cover this? --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 18:51, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

== Banana ==
The thing about the banana is blatantly false and clearly biased. It was his parody of atheism...he didn’t “learn” anything about bananas. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/67.7.47.136|67.7.47.136]] ([[User talk:67.7.47.136#top|talk]]) 16:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:Got any reliable sources saying that? [[Poe's Law]] is relevant here. --[[User:Hob Gadling|Hob Gadling]] ([[User talk:Hob Gadling|talk]]) 10:00, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Sure here’s a video him and his team put together...
