Creationist bananas

New Zealand born evangelical Christian Ray Comfort, aka “the banana man”, has published a new 150th anniversary edition of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, complete with a 50-page creationist introduction. Working with child actor Kirk Cameron, Comfort and his lackeys will be distributing 50,000 copies of the book for free on 50 college campuses around the US tomorrow. “All we want to do is propose the opposing and correct view,” says Growing Pains star Cameron, who, as far as I can tell, has equally impeccable credentials in evolutionary biology as Comfort—meaning, of course, none whatsoever.
