Kirk Cameron to hand out altered copies of Origin of Species to college students

You can read the news article and watch the video here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/22/kirk-camerons-origin-of-s_n_294349.htmlAs some of you are aware, this year marks the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birthday. While his birthday was already celebrated back in Feburary with 'Darwin Day' bionerds everywhere are planning to also commerate the anniversary of his most famous book, The Origin of Species, on 'Origin Day' on November 24. Never the ones to miss a chance to make fools out of themselves, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron have announced that they plan to usurp Origin Day by handing out copies of Origin of Species that have had a 50 page 'introduction' added to the book, written by none other than Ray Comfort himself. The introduction is your standard creationist rhetoric hitler was an evolutionist', 'how could something come from nothing', etc). According to Cameron, a network of creationists will be handing out the books at the 'nation's top 50 universities' on November 22, two days before Origin Day.Now I happen to attend such an institution and I'm actually a bit excited about this. Assuming that these guys have actually gotten permission from the college for this (and thus won't be kicked off campus five minutes after their arrival) it should be interesting to see the student body and faculty's reactions to this. I'm thinking I'll probably hang around there all day for the lulz and pick up a free copy or two of their version of Origin of Speices (it's a very nice looking copy, certainly nicer than the $5 paperback version I've got laying around. All it needs is about 25 page tears).

this guy who wrote the intro is an idiot..

some gems...

"If evolution were true, and humans and chimps did have a common ancestor, we would expect to find something that is half-monkey/half-man. These intermediate stages where one species supposedly evolves into another species are called "transitional forms."

"Aside from "feathered dinosaurs," many other supposed "missing links" have been debunked." .. a quick search yeilds http://www.amnh.org/science/specials/dinobird.html so this is just an outright lie...

I like this one... "Besides, many of God's creatures have similar hearing (how many different ways can you make an ear that hears sound?)." If god is god, then for him there are an INFINITE number of different ways to make an ear that hears sound...
