Kind of like the banana argument put forward by Kirk Cameron. Just once I would like to see someone stand up and say, "OK, Kirk, I’ve got one for you. Delicious, nutritious food inside, really hard to access, not so convenient to separate from the wrapper. Coconuts. Was the designer sleeping that day?’

Some people enjoy a challenge. God, in his infinite wisdom, has designed some fruit for those people as well.
catsix, though you know I agree with your underlying idea here, I just want to note that someone may be along soon enough to believe that, yes, they were designed that way. I was told as a little Hebrew boy in Sunday school that the fruit and nuts with harder shells were “closer to God” because they were protected from the material world.
