I was directed to a video the other day that shows Kirk Cameron talking about how he and his business partner have written a new 50 page introduction to Charles Darwin's scientific book, "On the Origin of Species". They have printed out thousands of these now tampered books and are going to pass them out free to college campuses nation wide in November. The problem I have with the introduction is that it introduces creationism. Even if I believed creationism to be true, which I don't, it seems pointless to pick a book about the evolution of man and other species to counteract the origin of the universe. If anyone has ever read this book, you would know that it doesn't delve into the creation of the universe one iota. So, my question is this, do you think it's OK to alter a book that has been a foundation for evolutionary biology for the past 150 years. If you think it's a good idea, let us know why you think they picked a book that has nothing to do with the beginning of the universe. Have they not read the book? Or is it merely because the book is now public domain and it was the only well known science journal that they could use? Personally, if I wanted to debate creationism in the format they are using, I would have picked a well known book about cosmology. Here is the link to the video, if you haven't seen it yet. Any debate about this video is welcome.
Not sure how much it relates o there current stunt but here's a nice video refuting many of the things Curt and Ray have said on evolution.
Thanks MageGray, I'll take a look at that when I have time ... I still haven't had time to get through that entire 50 page intro you provided a link to ... but once I do, you can rest assure that I will be posting more comments on this thread.
lets face it people are lazy instead of trying to prove some theorys wrong its just easier to use it as a base and attempt to prove it one thing that life has taught me is always question everything regardless of who/what it is
