Another Child Star Gone Crazy: Kirk Cameron Rewrites Darwin
If someone wants to believe in Creationism over Evolution, then FINE. If he believes that science is for atheists, then FINE. People are entitled to their beliefs, no matter how silly they may seem to those of us who have been brainwashed by the liberal, Godless educators in our universities.
Curses on you, Liberal and Godless Educators! Of courses, what do curses mean to those who live without fear of divine retribution? God, no! How do you punish an agnostic?
The short answer is: put him in a room with Kirk Cameron.
Creationism is okay, if you’re into that sort of thing, but to blame the Holocaust on Darwin might have taken it a little too far.
The Years Have Been Kind, Except To His Brain.
Darwin’s “On the Origin of the Species” has, in an exciting twist of fate, become public domain. Who better to write a new introduction to this classic book than some guy named Ray Comfort? What better authority on the life-long work of famed Naturalist and father of the concept of ‘Natural Selection’ Charles Darwin than a guy whose main accomplishment is acting as a Pip to Kirk Cameron’s Gladys Knight?
On either November 19, November 21, or November 22 (all were cited by Cameron)—the anniversary of the first publication of “On the Origin of the Species”—Cameron was to hand out 50 thousand copies of his new version of the book with the new introduction “to present the opposing—and correct—information”. Turns out the right date is November 22, but the books were given out 3 days before, perhaps to prevent any borderline-Creationists from jumping the fence. Prior to that, in a stirring advertisement by The Way of the Master Ministries, Mike Seaver Kirk Cameron amps us up for the exciting distribution of the books, and, in closing, mentions something quietly about wanting to distribute more…if the funds were available. Please give now!
No dice, buddy.
Nonetheless, Cameron went out to UCLA with his pretty new book that, in his eyes, is far better than the old, non-Ray-Comforted version for sale in the UCLA bookstore. And Kirk’s were FREE. The bookstore, he was quick to point out, sells theirs for $29.99—and that’s without the lunacy.
To try to win over the doubters and haters, the former “Tiger Beat” cover boy points out that the non-believing so-called academics ignored certain truths about Darwin’s agenda. For example, Cameron assures us, the reign of Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. Citing Darwin’s supposed racism and ‘disdain for women’ (nice try to reel in the feminists, kiddo), he says, “You can see where [Hitler] clearly takes Darwin’s ideas to some of their logical conclusions and compares certain races of people to lower evolutionary life forms”. First of all, very little logic went into a lot of Hitler’s thought processes. That’s kinda what defines a madman. And second, you can’t call science “an atheistic endeavor” (as Cameron did at UCLA), using Darwin as your poster boy for the removal of God from Creation, when Darwin himself was a practicing Christian. He believed in evolution, but thought of God as “the ultimate lawgiver”.
Kirk should stick to his cable-access ministry and the very patient and kind soul who accepted a wedding ring from him almost 20 years ago. And their six kids. And the occasional reality TV appearance, you know, to keep the money coming in.
We’re not trying to “remove God from the world view of creation”, Kirk. We’re trying to remove you from our collective psyches.
Really, Kirk. Hitler?
