Foods that look like the organs they supposedly treat:
First off, this is an obvious case of pareidolia. Does a sliced carrot look like an eye? Well sort of but it also looks, upon my first glance, like an anus. Does it prevent or treat rectal cancer? Not to be crass(that's fun of course) but it makes the point. Walnuts may look sort of like brains, but they also resemble testis. What does this tell us about the benefits they afford to them? Apparently nothing. How many foods can we find that resemble organs or body parts but don't do much to aid or improve function? Is this any different than eating rhino horn because the horn vaguely resembles a penis? A banana also shares this resemblance or a carrot for that matter.
The title suggests that this is God's way of telling us which foods are good for us. As if this in itself is evidence for God. Is this really evidence for God? If it is, God sure has a confusing way of getting ideas across. Couldn't he just have implanted the idea in our brain rather than making us do all this research on these fruits and vegetables so that we find that some that resemble organs also have nutrients that benefit those organs and then use post hoc reasoning to decide that's why they looked like those organs in the first place. Whew! Thanks God!
