Kirk Cameron Defends Attack on 'Species'

Cover of "On the Origin of Species: By Me...Cover via Amazon

I just found an article reiterating the news that the "On The Origin of Species" will be given away for free with a 50 page introduction explaining the Creationist viewpoint. I still don't see a problem with this. Why can't college students get both sides in the same volume? Most people haven't even read what Darwin said. The article also includes a video by Kirk Cameron explaining why he and others are distributing this. I want you to see this video. Kirk is very straight and to the point I admit his appeal is a little heavy-handed at the beginning. The same freedoms that allows the "On The Origin of Species" to be handed out for free does allow people to read their Bibles in school, pray, and openly display the 10 Commandments in public. However, Kirk is pointing to something deeper. He is not trying to force people to believe what we believe. He is trying to get the word out that rejecting the Bible on the basis of evolution is groundless because Creationism is not groundless and is a valid theory opposed to evolution.





Now look at a rebuttal video - the venom - the hate - the profanity. Is it really necessary.





This lady is not well-informed on a couple of matters. She believes many of the lies that people tell on the Bible. No where does it teach that the earth is flat, or that the earth is the center of universe, that women are less than men, or that slavery is the optimum way people should relate to one another. It's sad. The reason why no one would put 5o pages of that in the Bible and hand it out is because it's not true. As for the things in Ray Comfort's introduction all of it can be substantiated. Including the stuff about Hitler. Was Hitler a Christian? Yes, in the same way that people claim to be Christians but don't believe and follow the Bible. And as for the existence of transitional forms between species, not all fossils are transitional and no fossil can be be proven to be intermediate between two living species. Instead of taking those copies of Origins and ripping out the introductions, why not publish your own ideas about why Comfort is wrong if you disagree.

Here is a copy of that introduction
