Hi This creationist effort has been around for the past few months and is about to hit certain Canadian universities on 24 Nov. You can see responses discrediting the "information" in the insert and more at
http://ncse.com/ If you follow the Don't Diss Darwin link, you will find a list of the institutions "lucky" enough to receive this special gift! http://www.dontdissdarwin.com/schools.php I don't know how much actual impact this has had on campuses where book has already been distributed. Take care Jim James M. Clark Professor of Psychology 204-786-9757 204-774-4134 Fax [email protected] >>> "Mike Palij" <[email protected]> 22-Nov-09 6:18:16 PM >>> 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]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
