Origin of Species - A new look




Topic started on 26-9-2009 @ 06:57 PM by Phage


Kirk Cameron (Remember him?) is hawking the give away of free copies of Origin of Species on it's 150th anniversary. Strange? Not really, it's a "special publication", a 50 page preface has been added to it. What's in the preface?

Goodness gracious me. They're so desperate to discredit evolution, and if not, prying 'God' or at least 'Intelligent Designer' in there somewhere.

Do you think that DNA’s amazing structure could have come together by accident? Or does it point to an intelligent Designer? Even the director of the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute concluded there is a God based on his study of DNA. Francis Collins, the scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome, believes there is a rational basis for a Creator and that scientific discoveries bring man “closer to God”:

When you have for the first time in front of you this 3.1-billion-letter instruction book that conveys all kinds of information and all kinds of mystery about humankind, you can’t survey that going through page
after page without a sense of awe. I can’t help but look at those pages and have a vague sense that this is giving me a glimpse of God’s mind.

PDF of the book with the 'preface'.


By accident? Accident implies will somewhere. If someone asks "Does it rain by accident?" You're going to reply something like "No, "accident" doesn't apply to the inanimate. Clouds don't choose when to rain, nor fail to rain at will."

No, it just happens. It's circumstantial happenings.

I hate this kind of sneaky, underhanded use of language to combat Theory instead of looking at the evidence.

O.K.

I am very confussed and overly tired so be kind.

I just have to get a couple of things sorted out here:

Darwin was an evolutionist, correct.

Livingwaters is a Christian web site, thus meaning; Creationist.

Why have the two combined?

Is there something in the 'living water'? (Pun intended).

Or is there an underlying/hidden/concealed religious tone somewhere in the Preface (as to which I will read after I have had some sleep)?



BTW: Thanks for the link.

The introduction would appear to consist of various attempts to discredit Darwin and his theory. I haven't seen it but from Cameron's statements it links evolution to our loss of liberties, Hilter, and racism.

I'm curious too about why they would distribute the book. I suppose it may be because people will read the introduction and form their opinions from that. They will then be able to say, "Yeah, I read the book. It's full of nazism, racism, and taking away our liberties".

To the Op, thank you for posting this. It made me think, so I did a little research.

In the 1999 version of "Inherit the Wind" which was based on this trial, there is a symbolic gesture at the end of the movie. It is a gesture that I believe contains the truth concerning both evolution and creationism.

I don't want to ruin the movie for those who have not seen it, so I'm not going to tell you what the gesture was, only that it is there

Inherit the Wind: 1999

I want a free copy!

I love this topic, it truly makes you open your eyes to the stupidity that is rife through out the human race. Sometimes all I can do is sit and laugh, logic and reason are words that have no meaning to some people. Again I find myself thankful for the fact I was never born and brainwashed into thinking a 2000 year old book was the be all and end all.
