Kirk Cameron, best known for his role in the 1980s sitcom Growing Pains, now spends much of his time advocating for far-right Christian evangelical causes.
In a video posted recently to YouTube, Cameron lays out a plan to subvert 'Darwin Day' on November 22, 2009 -- a date marking the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species." Cameron says that he and like-minded activists plan to deliver 50,000 copies of an altered version of Darwin's book to students at dozens of U.S. universities.

Wow... just wow!

[Dappleganger]

1. If he's so convinced that what he believes in is true

then why aren't they handing out Bibles??

[Writer]

2. Time for a book burning. n/t

[Arkana]

3. Kirk Cameron will one day implode into a neutron star due

to his inflated sense of self-righteousness.

[Richard D]

4. When the facts and truth are against you . . .

. . . all that is left is lies.

[Happyhippychick]

5. How is that legal?

[BOSSHOG]

7. Its being done

by God-loving Patriots who are the only people in the universe who care about our country or the real truth and real facts.

[GodlessBiker]

10. Whatever copyright Darwin's book had has long since expired. Anyone can do anything to it.

This stunt is beyond stupid.

[brendan120678]

11. I don't see how it can be illegal.

I'm pretty sure that the copyright on the book has long since lapsed into the public domain.

[gmoney]

27. Glenn Beck includes the full text of Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" in his book of the same name

pads it out quite a bit at virtually no cost.

[polichick]

6. Sad to see what's become of this guy - wish he'd worry about his own...

"sinful heart" ~ and leave college kids alone.

As my son once told a classmate who repeated her minister's message that we're all stupid ~ "You may be stupid, but I'm not."

[Neecy]

8. I hope Darwin's publisher sues their asses off

[Codeine]

9. Public domain. nt

[kenfrequed]

12. I am so tired

Of these lying crazed unthinking zealots.

How about the corporations Kirk? Hitler made use of those in his military build up, surely those structures must lead straight to hitler too.

Or wait, Rocketry? Hitler used V-2 rockets on England ergo: straight to hitler it goes.

Oh and Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany so Democracy and the Republic both lead straight to hitler, I suppose we could do without them too.

Wait a minute... Anti semitism was present both in Catholic passion plays (first created by a German Nun) that were blatantly anti-semetic and in Luther's later writings which also were virulently anti-semetic. So obviously the Catholic and Lutheran faiths lead a path directly to Hitler.

Why doesn't this useless has-been hack of an actor just dry up and go the hell away.

15. Cameron starred in Growing Pains on ABC

ABC, like other networks, has carried ads for Volkswagen.

The original VW "Bug" is said to have been designed by Hitler himself.

Therefore, Kirk Cameron = Hitler. Q.E.D. :sarcasm:

[kenfrequed]

16. Oh right

And I forgot one.

Rockets don't work without gravity and the bible presents (indirectly) a case for a geocentric universe.

Gravity is not biblically correct and Hitler used rockets. Therefore Sir Issac Newton must have been a secret time travelling Nazi.

I could do this all day.

[dbonds]

19. Kirk actually thought Growing Pains was too risque...

He threatened to leave because the scripts weren't moral enough.

[Cha]

13. Pushy little idiots..

Too bad about some people who think they're the Planet's gifts from the Super Nova when in reality..all they're doing is following their own narcissistic maniacal egos.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. The cover of the book will feature Charles Darwin riding a dinosaur

and it will describe those days when Darwin rode the range on the Galapagos Islands as a dinosaur drover.

[TlalocW]

17. I like how he's sitting backwards on a chair

Like he's cool and just wants to "rap" with us.

TlalocW

[Taverner]

18. I swear, if I ever see Kirk I will repeatedly cock punch that bastard, so help me Darwin

[KamaAina]

22. I hope you're a very accurate puncher

:evilgrin:

[Taverner]

23. HAHAHAHAAHAHA You know, Kirk may not have a cock

Or balls, or anything - he might have "cut it off" because it "was offensive to the LORD"

[Mojambo]

20. He should be handing out bananas

21. Varying levels of insanity, but regardless believing in a mythical cloud being is DELUSIONAL.

Please explain why believing in an unprovable like God is any different than a belief in UFOs or Santa Claus. Discuss.

[izquierdista]

24. True to character

I see little Mikey Seaver is actually DUMBER in real life than he was on the show.

[ezgoingrl]

25. I put this story on my Facebook page.

I'm gonna start a fight!! Woohooo!! :hide:

26. Fundies gone wild

First Chuck Norris advocates a violent overthrow of the government now this. Where does the insanity end?

[sakabatou]

28. Please let the producers, production company et. al

sue the pants of Kirk.
