The irony of fundamentalism – anti-Darwin book

I spotted this news item which may attack Darwin but offers a beautiful example of the power of fundie denial:

Alachua publisher enlists Kirk Cameron to promote criticism of Darwin

“A former child actor is partnering with a local publisher to distribute altered copies of Charles Darwin’s “The Origin of Species” to university students across the country in November – around the time of the 150th anniversary of the book’s original publishing.

“In September, Kirk Cameron, best known for his role in the 1980s sitcom ‘Growing Pains,’ announced in a YouTube video plans to distribute the book with Living Waters Ministry at the 100 top U.S. universities.

“The special edition will include a 50-page introduction by author, minister and evangelist Ray Comfort that discusses the history of evolution, Darwin’s life and how his ideas have been used to support racism, misogyny and Nazism.”

Of course, the Bible has “been used to support racism, misogyny and Nazism” far more, and for far longer than Darwin, but we just hope you don’t remember about that! *wry look*
