Oh how I love Kirk Cameron. One minute, the world is going along just swimmingly, and then the next, our favorite born-again teen heartthrob is in our face to point out how terrible the world is now that we teach our kids about evolution. Kirk and some of his fundamentalist pals have joined forces to protect poor, innocent college students against the horrors of Darwin’s seminal work, The Origin of Species.

“Atheism has been on the rise for years now, and the Bible of the atheists is The Origin of Species,” Cameron says. “We have a situation in our country where young people are entering college with a belief in God and exiting with that faith being stripped and shredded. What we want to do is have student make an informed, educated decision before they chuck their faith.”

He and other creationists have created thousands of editions of Charles Darwin’s landmark work explaining evolutionary theory, with a 50-page introduction that picks apart aspects of Darwin’s work and links it to everything from Nazi eugenics to the scientist’s alleged “disdain for women.” On Nov. 19, three days before the 150th anniversary of the original publication of Origin of Species, Cameron and other religious activists will distribute their books at “the top 50″ universities around the country. (You can check out Kirk speaking about it here.) He seems to imply that universities are trying to “censor” his views and may try to interfere with his distribution of literature. I wouldn’t worry so much about that, Kirk. It’s not that anyone’s trying to censor you. It’s just that no one cares, because you’re loony.

Continues Kirk:

“You can see where [Hitler] clearly takes Darwin’s ideas to some of their logical conclusions and compares certain races of people to lower evolutionary life forms. If you take Darwin’s theory and extend it to its logical end, it can be used to justify all number of very horrendous things.”

OH THAT’S RIGHT. Charles Fucking Darwin’s book has been used to justify SO MANY HORRENDOUS THINGS. Like the Inquisition, the Salem Witch Hunts, the Crusades, the War in Iraq … oh, no, wait. I’m thinking of the Bible.

I just don’t understand this shit. I believe in God. As it turns out, I believe in a God so very powerful that it may possibly have occurred to this God to create evolution. And science. Why is this so hard for people to stomach? Why do these people insist that their all-powerful God is somehow incapable of having created a science to explain the universe? Why must they wage a war against atheism and non-Christian beliefs when Jesus’ primary message was one of universal love and tolerance? This crazy shit is so far removed from the beautiful and spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ.

Above find a very awesome video response to Kirk’s video. Mostly I love it because I love the chick’s hair and I want my hair to look like that.

OMG. What a vagina tease. These photos are just saying, “Hey, Beet, it’s a hot, wealthy man in a firefighter uniform and there are TONS of pictures of him for you to gawk at. There’s just one tiny catch: it’s Kirk Cameron.”

It’s like how someone approached Kirk Cameron twenty years ago and was like, “Listen, I have this awesome way for you to always be able to feel like you’re better than other people, no matter what. There’s just one tiny catch: You have to abandon all logic and reason.”

The difference is that Kirk Cameron was excited about his proposition.

Anyway, crazy evangelist Kirky was promoting his new film, Fireproof, which actually has fucking nothing to do with hot firemen. The plot synopsis:

Lt. Caleb Holt lives by the old firefighter’s adage: Never leave your partner behind. Inside burning buildings, it’s his natural instinct. In the cooling embers of his marriage, it’s another story.

After a decade of marriage, Caleb and Catherine Holt have drifted so far apart that they are ready to move on without each other. Yet as they prepare to enter divorce proceedings, Caleb’s dad asks his son to try an experiment: The Love Dare.

While hoping The Love Dare has nothing to do with his parents’ newfound faith, Caleb commits to the challenge. But can he attempt to love his wife while avoiding God’s love for him? Will he be able to demonstrate love over and over again to a person that’s no longer receptive to his love? Or is this just another marriage destined to go up in smoke?

Wow, sounds like Caleb is dealing with some weighty issues. Me? I’m just going to spend the rest of the night trying an experiment I like to call The Finding Naked Firemen Photos on the Internet Dare, and I’m fairly confident it’ll be an overwhelming success.
