Don’t read this version of “Origin of Species”

Creationism is alive and well in the United States. Despite their laughingly terrible arguments, backers of “intelligent design” continue to flood education institutions with materials they hope will throw doubt as to the truth of Evolution by means of Natural selection .Their latest tactic is this book; a republication of Darwin’s “Origin of Species” with a twist; the introduction is a 50 page attack on Darwin, accusing him of the causing the Holocaust, of being a racist (find me one person living in 19th century England that wasn’t), and of even doubting the truth of his own theory. They misquote him at every turn (a tactic that Ben Stein used extensively in his terrible movie “Expelled: No intelligence allowed”), and suggest that Darwin wanted to use evolution to justify genocide.  Here are some choice passages:

Do you think that DNA’s amazing structure could have come together by accident? Or does it point to an intelligent Designer? Even the director of the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute concluded there is a God based on his study of DNA.

Richard Dawkins, arguably the most famous of atheists, can’t claim the title “atheist,” because he understands that something must have created everything. He said, “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.”

Keeping in mind that the most intelligent of human beings can’t create a grain of sand from nothing, do you think that that “something” that made everything was intelligent? It obviously is; and if you do believe the “force” that made the flowers, the birds, the trees, the human eye, and the sun, the moon and the stars was intelligent, you then believe that there was an intelligent designer. You have just become an unscientific knuckle-dragger in the eyes of our learning institutions that embrace Darwinism.

Jesus freak extrordinaire Kirk Cameron is the mastermind behind this project. He wants his copy of Origins to be picked up by schools. Personally, I’m sickened by the idea that these intellectual midgets would publish one of the most important scientific theories of all time with a 50 page indictment in the front. What a strange schyzophrenic message that must seem to children! It’s not enough for these guys to let the material stand on it’s own right; they have to try to sabotage the learning process in order to force their sky god down our throats.

Hey guys, how would you like it if I started printing Bibles with a disclaimer at the front that said: “Warning, materials covered in this book are of a racist, bigoted and violent nature. It should be kept well out of the reach of children, and people with a history of mental disorder should avoid reading it. The characters depicted are fictional; and any similarity with persons living or deceased is entirely coincidental.” Would you find that offensive? You know what, that gives me an idea…
