Mr Jack, I don't agree that this is wonderful. Most people aren't educated enough to be able to understand a fraction of what's in the book. This is not to mention the patience it takes to read the writing style.
I don't agree either that this is wonderful. But I do so for a different reason. I don't subscribe to your characterization, Taz, of Darwin's "On The Origin Of Species" as too difficult, either to understand the subject matter, or to read Darwin's prose. Darwin writes in a surprisingly modern style, and he explains his theory with remarkable clarity.
My reason for disagreeing that this ploy of Cameron c.s. is wonderful is that they not only try to discredit Darwin with the usual tripe that has already been refuted countless times, but also that they have the audacity to hitch a ride on the hype around the anniversary. Their revolting plan to subvert the actual text with an introduction full of lies is so contrary to supposed Christian righteousness that it beggars belief that they could even think of such a plan.
Besides, I don't understand why they think it's necessary, because Kirk said, somewhere at the beginning of the video, that:
quote:
Only God can take the sinful heart of a man or a woman, and cause them to love that which is right, and just, and good.
If that is true, then why bother? Apparently, God himself can't be bothered to do this, or atheism wouldn't be on the rise, as Kirk mentioned seconds earlier. Or do they think their omnipotent God can't manage on his own and needs their help?
And what does "cause them to love" mean exactly? How genuine is "caused love"?
What utter tripe!
