Yet the evidence is imperfect. What is the use of studying such?
To at least avoid the ignorance shown by Cameron and Comfort. What's the matter with studying a subject so as to know what you're talking about even if you don't subscribe to it? I've read the Bible, I watched that video, and my brain didn't suddenly melt nor did I fall on my knees and accept Jesus. Knowledge itself is harmless and useful. Knowledge does not necessitate acceptance.

I have given explanations. Yet if I quote the Bible, you simply dismiss it as being false. Can not I do the same with any of your quotes or references to any scientific publication?
Quoting the Bible in place of expressing your own thoughts is what people object to. We don't come here to be preached to or have Bible verses (with which most of us are familiar) thrown about as substitutes for original thought.

Why does it need to be physically "proven?"
Because evolution can be, and if you wish to contradict it, you have to meet the same criteria scientists require of evolutionary theories.

As well, what is your point considering the banana?
That Comfort's an idiot who didn't bother to do a little research before trying to convince us god exists because of a hybrid fruit.
