Fake Book. Burning Ideas.

[Meoton]

Ex-actor turned evangelist Kirk Cameron is making a fake edition of the Origin Of Species to be pass out on 150th anniversary of its publishing. He links Darwinism to Hitler, racism, slavery, and sexism.
He promotes this stunt in an online video.

I think he is a douche.
I like the idea of a fake Bible being handed out on Christmas for free, except doing so would make me as big a douche as he is. Maybe just make the promo-video for my "Christmas Plan"

Fake Bible? Why not the real deal?

:D

[Lunatic Goofballs]

I hope there's a law against this somewhere.

Kirk Cameron is useless and a prick.

(when one planned episode revolved around Julie giving Mike the key to her apartment, Cameron objected to the sexual connotations, and he asked a new script to be written)

CITATION NEED D:<

That's pretty lul.

[Aririn]

I'm amazed that a publishing agency would take Kirk Cameron seriously enough to help him make a book...

[Bobs Taco Shack]

I mis-read the op. I thought it was 'fake book burning ideas', and I couldnt help but wonder if it was some wierd RP or something. I am so taken back by the sillyness of my thoughts that I dont have an opinion on the real op. My question is: Isnt it illegal to come out with the next version of a book, which it seems he is doing, with out having permission?

Someone should point out to Kirk as well that by his logic, Hitler's success came from him being stronger than everyone else. Wtg supporting Hitler. Wtg.

It would be more accurate. more on point to his objections, to pick some of the writings of acknowledged social Darwinists (whose ranks include Margaret Sanger and W.E.B. DuBois, alas)
but I guess it would not seem as newsworthy.

I can see little redeeming social value in social Darwinism.

Darwin has nothing to do with "Social Darwinism"
Social Darwinism is generally considered a non-scientific perversion of Darwinism.

Isn't that pretty much what I just said?

He shouldn't get mad at Darwin's work, but at the perversions of it?

At least that was what I was trying to say.

I'm sorry I misunderstood.

Well, considering that Cameron IS perverting Darwin's work, I'd say you're both right.

Obviously he's correct due to man breeding bananas to be near perfect for human consumption...wait...
