Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort on 150 Anniversary of Orgin of Species

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have created a 150th anniversary edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species. In their edition, Ray Comfort has included a 50 page intro which attempts to debunk the theory of evolution and connect it to the views of Adolf Hitler. According to them, this is a loop hole in which they can use to gain access to the minds of those who attend schools because schools already teach Darwin, and how could they turn down a good Chucky D book? Their presentation of this scheme to me comes across so desperate. After all this is coming from the same people that claim the banana is proof that god is the creator.

Richard Dawkins is asking for people to confiscate as many of these books as possible and remove the 50 page intro and then redistribute the actual Origin of Species unaltered.

Well, I suppose if Cameron's statistics are in fact correct, we're better off than I had thought. If there are more atheists in academia than christians, I'll breathe a sigh of relief.

A few funny moments from the video:

Cameron citing famous scientists who believed in god, almost all of which were classical-era or earlier. And I'm sure I won't be the first person to say that Einstein would probably bitch-slap Cameron for including him here.

Cameron saying that not one transitional fossil has ever been found. Um... yeah.

At a certain point, you have to just ask, okay, what actually qualifies as "evidence" to you? You have no problem with the idea that living beings were poofed into existence 6,000 years ago by a mystical sky-daddy that to this day has failed to produce one single piece of physical evidence for his/her existence, the only "proof" being a 2000+ year-old text ripe with contradictions and historical inaccuracies, but yet the genetic and fossil records, which have been independently verified by thousands upon thousands of educated people across the planet to align precisely with each other, and have withstood every, single, solitary instance of testing and debunking that has been thrown at them, aren't good enough for you?

Oh, boy.

Well, whatever. Darwin was right, and Cameron is wrong. Period. As christians get more desperate, I sleep better.

I'm just really surprised as to level of desperation going on here, I always assumed that despite being incredibly ignorant of just about everything, the Christians had a rather solid team. As technology continues to expand and science becomes less intimidating, it's just a matter of time before the majority will be the non-believing folks.

And the Christians love to claim Einstein for their team solely based upon a few written metaphors in which he mentioned the word "god".
