Ex-Actor Kirk Cameron Plans to Subvert Darwin Day's Commemoration of 'Origin Of Species,' Plan To Distribute 50K Altered Books at U.S. Universities

I don't dabble much in religious issues, but my interest was piqued by former child actor Kirk Cameron's latest project. Perhaps you will remember him from the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains." He currently spends much of his time advocating for far-right Christian evangelical issues and causes and showing up on Trinity Broadcasting Corporation (TBN).

In a recently posted YouTube video, Kirk Cameron lays out a plan to subvert 'Darwin Day' on November 22, 2009, which will mark the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species." Cameron says that he and other activists, who share the same views on the subject, plan to deliver 50,000 copies of an altered version of Darwin's book to students at dozens of universities in the United States.

Cameron explains that this "very special" edition of the "Origin of Species" will include an introduction explaining "Adolf Hitler's undeniable connection" to the theory of evolution, and highlighting "Darwin's racism" and "his disdain for women." Cameron's version also seeks to expose the "many hoaxes" of evolutionary theory, while presenting a "balanced view of Creationism."

Okay, believe what you want, but does the far right throw the name "Hitler" into most of their dogfights? Sorry, but this campaign amounts to a load of crap. Kirk Cameron, I can think of at least a dozen causes you should be involved in, instead of this sham. It's obvious you were brainwashed by the far-right evangelicals. I can think of a few of these same evangelicals who have a great disdain for people of color, women and anyone having a balanced view of any issue.
