Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron Distributing Darwin

It’s not what you think though, banana man and his chimp are not passing out Darwin’s “Origin of Species” in good faith. Ray Comfort is including a 54 page special introduction which is utter crapola.

From the Don’t Diss Darwin website created by the NCSE folks, they quoted Darwin biographer and science writer David Quammen in saying it best about Comforts lame special introduction in which he said:

“Comfort’s confused polemic, disguised as an informational Introduction but full of mistakes, half truths, untruths, muddled logic, old creationist arguments, misleadingly excerpted quotations, and ill-framed analogies — plus a good dose of fire and brimstone at the end — will do a severe disservice to anyone who takes it for an entryway to Darwin’s great book.”

So if you’re at one of the Universities where they are handing out this book, take one, read the actual book, laugh at the introduction or tear out the first 54 pages of utter garbage. It looks like a nicely printed book. I just can’t come to conclude whether or not Comfort wasted his money printing these just to throw in his introduction as it’s a time waster or it’s just overall a good thing they’re handing these out because most students I know have enough common sense to accept the portion Darwin wrote and not what some banana man wrote.

Also you can do a lot of good if you are on campus, print out some of the flyers created by the Don’t Diss Darwin site and plaster them everywhere or perhaps hand them out next to those handing out the books.

I’ve converted the PDF flyer by NCSE as a JPG so just click on the image for the full view. Print it out, pass it around where they are handing out these books.
