THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Don't let them hear!!
On Thursday November 19, 2009, Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (the banana guy) will be distributing 50,000 copies of Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species' at universities across America to students for free.
BUT THERE'S A CATCH!!
Each copy will have a 50 page intro about how evolution has never been proven and how Darwin helped inspire the Holocaust.
If this outrages you, then you're not alone. There's something we can do though. We can amass as many of these books as possible, remove the 50 page intro, and then donate perfectly good copies of 'Origin of Species' to schools, libraries, and Goodwill. We can actually make this into something positive.
If you are in college, then you are in a good position to help. Check your campus on November 19th, and if you see a group distributing copies of the book, then get as many as you can. Get a copy for yourself, ask if you can have extra copies for your friends, ask your friends to go ask for copies, and ask other people you see carrying the book if you can have their copy.
This is a shameful thing that Kirk Cameron and the Banana Guy are doing by altering another person's book in order to push their agenda. But we can help to restore the book to how it was intended and keep young minds from being brainwashed by misinformation.
I see nothing wrong at all with Kirk Cameron and his supporters doing this. "Origin of Species" is the first major book of evolution. What is wrong with producing a single volume of it with the other viewpoint? The letter on the internet says that they are pushing a falsehood which is creationism, but I agree with my brother reporting on the Apologetic Front blog, if Dawin's book is so true and so convincing then it should be able to stand against the other viewpoint. Dawin's theories should not need the "help" of suppressing other ideas and thought contrary to it. Could it be that it can't stand up to the evidence?

Don't be silly, there couldn't possibly any competing theories to evolution. It's science!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, I heard about this and thought it was sort of a silly thing for Comfort to do, but it really cracks me up when the opposition bothers to respond to silliness. If creationism is so obviously false, why do people worry about things like this?
Comment 16 on the original article nails it: evolutionists fighting back like this is just going to make people more curious about what was so dangerous in those fifty pages. Dawkins isn't quite as smart as he'd like people to believe.
