At least one source points out that some of these copies have a 50 page introduction which attacks the volume; see: http://www.dailytech.com/AntiEvolution+Actor+Modifies+Darwins+Work+With+Questionable+Intro/article16892.htm or http://tinyurl.com/ycfu3mp
I admit that there are big holes in my pop culture knowledge and that I never watched the sitcom "Growing Pains", thus, I have no familiarity with Kirk Cameron, an actor, who was on the show and who authored the introduction as well as handing out copies of the free Darwin on Perdue's campus. I assume this is just another child star whose life has gone seriously wrong. He also promotes the notion that Hitler's ideas were based on Darwin's theory, a position advocated by Ben Stein (political analyst/eye drop shill) and others. In other news, if you had a first edition of the Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" (published in 1859), where would you keep it? (a) in a glass case, opened to the title page (b) closed in an archival grade envelope to protect against light, humidity, and insects (c) on the book shelf with the rest of the Darwinia (d) in the toilet For the answer to where one person kept it, see: http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h-AA11NDInkwPqU7N0Er8sKs0MHA or http://tinyurl.com/yff26en -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
