Comfort could pass them out in the monkey house of the nearest zoo and he'd still be passing them out to more intelligent readers. Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Ken Ham and the Hovind family make me question evolution more then a million creationist intros to Origin!

I believe in the theory of gravity. Does this make me a gravitationalist?

And, similarly, should I be put in a shame-corner because I am a gravitationalist rather than a sensible xtian?

Just wondering.

Thanks! Part 2?

@COMALiteJ you could ask Dawkins direct?

[COMALiteJ]

@seonidh, No, unfortunately. I’m not connected with any atheist groups per se. I’ve been posting this suggestion for almost two years now, here on YouTube and elsewhere, hoping that someone would pick up on it, but have not yet heard that any atheist group has run with it.

[seonidh]

@COMALiteJ Thats a good plan yes the King James bible would be a good way to show them exactly that their actions have a equal merit for the bible from an atheist viewpoint. Any ideas what atheist groups would do this?

[COMALiteJ]

@seonidh, No, it HAS to be the 1611 KJV Bible, because 2011 is the 400th Anniversary, and they did this for the 150th Anniversary of “Origin of the Species.” And besides, Comfort and Cameron would actually LIKE atheists to put out anniversary editions with intros demolishing the COMPETING religious texts. No, it HAS to be THEIR religious text.

The key is that the intro of our 400th Anniversary KJV must be DEDICATED in GRATITUDE to Comfort and Cameron, THANKING them for giving us the idea! ;D

[seonidh]

@COMALiteJ that in itself is a disgusting act and proves they'll stoop to lows to promote a belief with unsubstantiated claims. Is there no other level these snake oil salesmen will lower themselves.

[seonidh]

@COMALiteJ the bible or any other religious book is fair game, even do it to the Q'uran, Hindu vedas. regarding Comfort, Cameron, well if they think they can do it to the Origin of Species well their so-called factual book should be given the same treatment.

[COMALiteJ]

@seonidh, Great idea! This year, 2011, is the 400th Anniversary of the original 1611 King James Version of the Bible (have you ever wondered why so many YECs on YouTube have “1611” in their handles? Now you know)! We're running out of time, but if a major atheist group backs this, we could have a 400th Anniversary Edition out in time for the holidays, complete with 50-page intro.

This should be sincerely dedicated Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron in thanks for giving us the idea! :-)

[COMALiteJ]

@seonidh, They didn’t just omit A chapter. They omitted THE MOST IMPORTANT chapter, the one that ties the theory together.

[seonidh]

@lordnimr0d I wasnt aware of that did they omit a chapter? Utter bastards if someone printed a bible without a missing chapter they'd be angry as hell. Not of course that I'm implying the Origin of Species is a religious document or like the bible. But they twist facts.
