Kirk Cameron's Mangling of "On the Origin of Species"

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have come up with a sneaky, underhanded scheme to promote their views on evolution and creationism in schools. I urge everyone, and I MEAN everyone, to join me in resisting them. Show people reality.

Cameron and Comfort have, in an effort to stem the inevitable flood of indignation against them, disabled video responses to "Origin into Schools". You can watch their video here:

I cannot understand what the C&C boys fetish is with "Origins". If you read the history of scientific exploration in Darwin's time you'll learn that Darwin was the first to realize evolution and articulate the process, but he was not the only one who figured it out. Alfred Russell Wallace ring a bell? It is clear that if Darwin had not propose the theory, eventually someone else would have. Darwin was brilliant, but evolution is too powerful to go unnoticed.

Cameron and Comfort are idiots.

I could not agree more.

1:15 that looks more like an ArchaeOPTERYX which, in fact, IS a valid transitional fossil.

@swordhunter12

You appear to have caught me in error. However, right now I can't watch through my video - browser's being weird. Could you tell me why you capitalized OPTERYX? Did I misspell something?

[swordhunter12]

@TheWildMagic No the capitalization was simply to used to emphasise OPTERYX beccause in your video your annotation called it and ArchaeoRAPTOR (again, emphasis) and I though it looked more like an Archeaopteryx which was a genuine transitional form.

[TheWildMagic]

@swordhunter12 Ah. You may well be right; I don't remember which one I typed into the Google image search, and it might be an image of the wrong one.

TheWildMagic, why are you so upset with Ray and Kirk? We should be THANKING them!

In fact, I propose we do precisely THAT!

We should thank them profusely, at length, and by name, for giving us the idea on how to best celebrate the upcoming anniversary that happens in less than two years.

We would put said thanks as the DEDICATION of our 50-page intro to our own Special 400th Anniversary Edition of the 1611 King James Version of the Holy Bible, to be released in 2011!

Popular evolutionary scientists Dawkins and Hawking refuse to debate with creationists who are SCIENTISTS, such as the scientists at ICR, The Institure for Creation Research. They only debate non-scientist creationists. Read my popular Internet articles: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM, ANY LIFE ON MARS CAME FROM EARTH, and WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!

@norsef,

You are right. Your examples illustrate an intuitive knowledge of evolution. Darwin and Wallace had the great insight to apply this to nature and offer an explanation behind it.

Thanks for your reply.

[norsef]

@raz357 If you're talking the history of evolution you could go back thousands of years to when cattle and live stock were selectively bred.

Or straight up human eugenics with the Spartans.
