Darwin Rocks

There have been some things going around on the internet about Kirk Cameron and his views on Darwin. If you are sitting there thinking "Who the hell is Kirk Cameron?" join the club. Not many people remember who he is. He played Mike Sever on Growing Pains. He turned all born again Christian during the filming of his show. There was some controversy about one of the actors on the show having posed for Playboy and being his show girlfriend. She was replaced by his soon to be wife of 20 years. After the show he started making only Christian based projects. That is why most people don't even know who he is any more. His group is going to hand out 50,000 altered books on Darwin's Theory of Evolution to college kids. They are changing the books to show that God created the world. They are upset because they believe that kids go to college and because almost all science professors do not believe in God and do not teach Creationism, that these graduates are coming out into the world non-believers...and Kirk can't have any of that! I really like what this one person said regarding this.


**Hobbes1:Creationists are intellectually dishonest, driven to self-delusion by deep insecurity. They refuse to lend serious, OBJECTIVE study to evolution, yet still attempt to argue against it with BELIEFS most of us were taught as children.If creationists want to disprove evolution, they can go around the world digging into Paleozoic strata, trying to find one indisputably human fossil. Find one, and it would blow the lid off evolution. To date, no such fossil has ever been found.Definition of faith: Belief in the truth of a proposition where there is no evidence to the contrary.Definition of blind faith: Belief in the truth of a proposition even in the face of evidence to the contrary.The difference between a scientist and a "creation scientist":A scientist sees something in nature that isn't well understood. The scientist applies the scientific method (observation, formulating an hypothesis, making predictions, test the predictions, publish the results so other scientists can test).If at any point objective evidence disproves her hypothesis, the scientist throws out the hypothesis in favor of one that better fits the evidence.A creation scientist begins with a conclusion, i.e., the Biblical creation story is true. He searches in nature to find evidence that his conclusion is true. When he finds evidence that tends to disprove his conclusion, he throws out the evidence and keeps the conclusion. At no time will the conclusion be questioned.The creationists call this, "science."And the cow jumped over the moon!**

I have a lot of friends who are religious. They go to church every Sunday. They all know that I do not have a problem with religion. My problem is with narrow minded people who believe only what they were spoon fed as a child. There is a whole big world out there, and most of it does not believe in the Christian God.
So why is it that some believe that only their God is the right one? That is what bothers me.
