So he's trying to get someone to debate him? I don't think that to be a wise fight to pick, considering his track record. Meh, whatever. He's not going to top his banana argument in ANY sense, anyway.
He'll be taking audience questions it says, here's one:
"Ray, many people, including PZ Myers have patiently explained to you that populations, not individuals evolve, so it is a completely nonsensical question to ask, "So let's say a male dog evolves. How long will he have to wait for a female dog to evolve before he can breed? Another million years?" There is a recording of Myers explaining this to you during a debate on a radio broadcast. You accepted his explanation and said you wouldn't use that argument in future, but you continue to use it. Its begins to look like you might be deceiving the ignorant to bilk money out of them. Is that what you're doing? And how much longer are you going to use this thoroughly debunked and nonsensical argument?"
Just have one a la Ken Ham with Bill Nye.
But then, you'll end up having a fight with Hammy, as The Science Guy tends to have a certain... effect on cre(a)ti(o)nists like you.
Now that would be a Fundie Fight I'd pay good money to watch!
"COME & WATCH A CHRISTIAN GET EATEN BY LIONS!"
"SEE A CHRISTIAN ATTEMPT TO ANSWER SKEPTIC'S TOUGHEST OBJECTIONS!"
Um, is Ray implying that he's going to get his ass handed to him by a skeptic in spectacular, humiliating fashion? I can believe that.

"If I were the lion, I would not eat Ray Comfort - what if I cought whatever brain disease he suffers from?"
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is a horrible thing.
Ooooo! Oooooo! I have one!
What does Isaiah 45:7 mean?
Furthermore, how could the omniscient, omnipotent God not have created evil if it exists today?
This is disappointing. I thought there would be real lions to feed Ray Comfort to, according to a certain quote in the Top 100 here that says football stadiums last year added an event called "Lions Eating Christians" to get revenue. I still want tickets to that event, dammit!
UGH 0 / 10 would NOT EAT!
Ray Comfort is full of hypocrisy, mind disease and persecution complex, which really, really isn't what a Lion likes in his meal.
Stick to the cow slices, guys. This isn't Fantasy!Rome.
"Come join us next Thursday!"
I can tell you are lookin' for a way to live
where truth is determined by consensus,
full of codified arbitrary directives
Come Join Us!
Man, things like this made me wish I lived there. Just so I could attent and watch Bananaman be utterly demolished and humiliated in front of a live audience. Unfortunatly, I live on the other side of the atlantic.
I know it's a bit cruel, but TBH I'm completely tired of Ray's ungodly pride in his willful ignorance.
It's actually a pretty good poster, if you ignore the typo.
It's in the service of promoting an utter moron, but the design ain't bad.

"It'd be funny if a California based FSTDT reader would attend, participate and report back on the idiocy."
Would it?
Even if Ray doesn't pack the audience with plants, it's just going to be a lot of dodging the questions and answers like "The bible says so!" and "goddidit!" and "How do you know? Were you there?".
@Dr. Razark:
That goes without saying; evasion, arrogance and the usual fallacies are a given. It would be funny to read the report on the event itself if someone bothered to attend. Of course, if this hypothetical attendee went, they'd have to suffer their narrow mindedness during the event, but the inevitably pitiful arguments would provide humourous material for after the event. There would of course be dismissive and smug arguments which aren't as funny, as expressed by those with the mindset of The Last Trump, but I'm sure most of us here wouldn't be hung up on the opinions of deluded fundies.

"It'd be funny if a California based FSTDT reader would attend, participate and report back on the idiocy."
I live here, but damn if I'm going to waste time
and money to watch this idiot lose and not know it.
Somebody will post it on YouTube.
Come to think of it, there will probably be two versions;
The Comfort-edited one, and the real one.
Einstein had a brain.
MLK, Jr. had a dream
Ken Ham has a book.
Ray Comfort has a banana.

@ Mister Spak re: the video
"Don't try this at home" ?
Bullshit. Don't try it at the Zoo!
@Yossarian Lives
I've seen the same stupid arguments shot down a dozen different ways over and over again. I'd personally rather see a capable debater that can make me think about their argument than the umpteenth rendition of Pascal's Wager.
(But there are times when watching a brutal takedown brings a smile to my face.)
@tfaddict
"You aren't interpreting the bible correctly!"
"You just reject the god's word!"
"The bible was written for different people in a different time!"
"Satan has deceived you!"
Et cetera ad nauseam.
Iff they'd be intellectually honest about it, it would be different. But do you think any of us could get Ray to admit that any part of the bible is wrong enough to make his position invalid?
You know I've been thinking about his banana obsession and I wonder how he'd react if I put forth that if nothing about how much he likes the damn things could be coincidence then the phallic shape, need to peel back the skin, gooey white leavings, and mankind's inherent love of dick jokes can't possibly be a coincidence either. Really stress that word, it's like some kind of magic to him.
@Dr. Razark:
Fair enough. Debating them is usually futile and I've experienced how stubborn they are. The only thing I can get from it is laughter when they say something absurd. My original comment wasn't meant to be taken that seriously, where I was purely stating that it would be funny if someone did go and reported the highlights of the idiocy back to us. Nothing more.
Ahem. I'm not going to do it! I'd rather eat poop.
If nobody showed up to debate him, he'd just say he won, and they were afraid to do it. Meanwhile in the real world, Billy Joel had the answer:
"You should never argue with a crazy ma-ma-ma-man,
You oughta know by now...."
