Oh Kirk. Give it up.

It's hard to wrap my head around such totally infantile thinking as Kirk Cameron's. See, he and his numbskull buddy Ray Comfort are releasing a "special edition" of Darwin's Origin of Species 3 days before its 150 anniversary release date. And Ray has written a very "special" introduction for this edition. Short bus anyone?

But inquiring minds want to know...or something. You can read some real zingers in a new article on Cameron's crusade in People magazine (thanks Pam).

"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," Cameron says. "If you take Darwin's theory and extend it to its logical end, it can be used to justify all number of very horrendous things."
Whose logic is this? And what are the values behind the so-called logic of these actions?

You mean like all those pogroms that Christians across Europe and Russia had organized for all those centuries because of their reading of the Gospel of John justified further by Jesus saying that he comes with a sword? Oh yeah. Those Jews were really sad about the Darwinian blood libel.

And all of that Darwinian thinking that has created racism since the kings of Europe sent out all of those explorers in the Age of Discovery to forcefully convert the indigenous people of South America. Definitely from The Origin of Species.

Or how about when the first tribes fought?

Oh wait! People are violent tribal animals who use mental tools available to them to justify their actions.

How does he breathe with that brain?

But I like Christine's takedown. Plus! Her accent is sexy.
