- DirectorRay ComfortStarsKirk CameronRay ComfortRichard DawkinsWhat do you do when the world's most famous atheist mocks you internationally on television and throughout social media? What consolation can you find when you become known worldwide as atheism's celebrity idiot? You look to the Scriptures and take consolation in how Joseph was humiliated before the time came when God opened a big door of opportunity for him, and how Moses was abased before God opened a big sea for him. You take comfort in knowing the principle of humiliation before promotion-that God often takes someone low before raising him up for His use. And that's what happened when Ray Comfort was christened "Banana Man" by Professor Richard Dawkins. Millions came under the sound of the everlasting gospel, all because of that humiliating name: Banana Man. So if you're afraid of looking foolish, this real story not only will encourage you and bring your fears into perspective, it will increase your faith in God and help you to see His wonderful hand in your own life.

From the way we walk, to the shape of our jaw and even the way our thumbs move, we are connected intimately to the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors.
