First some background, the Golden Ratio (1.6180339887...) is found in nature, also sometimes expressed as the Fibonacci sequence:
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 etc
the next number in the sequence is found by adding the 2 previous numbers.
The seed pattern in a sunflower follows the Fibonacci spiral pattern as does the spiral growth of the Nautilus shell.
The spiral patterns of the pine cone as well as the pineapple also contain the Golden Ratio.
On this pineapple I used a permanent marker to keep track, hence all the koki marks, it wasnt bought that way.
Counting the spirals of leaves leaning in the direction of the green lines yields a count of 8 and a count of 5 in the "yellow" direction.
Moving onto the fruit body, counting the "blue" spirals = 8, "red" = 13 and the "black" vertical rows = 21.
Interestingly humans also have evidence of the Golden Ratio, in the measurement of the bones in the hand amongst some examples.
Heres an example of a healthy heart beat plotted on an ECG.
The gauge being used on the chart is a Golden Ratio device created by a dentist to assist with creating aesthetically pleasing dentures.

It is my belief(creationist) that the Golden Ratio could be seen as a signature or fingerprint of GOD.
So, upon counting the segments in a naartjie, I was rather surprised to see there were 10.
Others have had 9 or 11 segments, there were also no pips.
Could this lack of conforming to the Fibonacci sequence be a result of GMO tampering?
.. or is it merely the result of man creating hybrids with cross pollination?
ps apologies for the click-bait title, chalk it up to too many hours spent on YouTube.
