I seem to be talking about Ray Comfort a lot lately; perhaps it's all part of his evil plot to sucker the Atheist community into giving him free publicity and like moths to his stupid flame we can't help but be drawn in. In any case, he is up to more dastardly tricks along with his toy boy buddy Kirk Cameron (some E-list American actor); as a publicity stunt he is handing out 50,000 free "special" editions of Darwin's "On the origin of species", only the thing that's "special" though is that he's created a 50 page pre-face that outlines his loony ideas (as featured in the video link of a couple of posts ago); so we have all the usual stuff, "something can't be created from nothing", "how did the first dog find a mate", "paintings must have a painter", "Darwin was a racist", "Hitler was a Darwinist", "Darwin hated women" and all of that garbage.
I can't help wondering where Ray gets the money to commission 50,000 copies of a book that he then gives away for free; the "first church of stupid" must be a lucrative gig! Anyway it sounds like a good opportunity to grab a copy of the "origin" cut out the first 50 pages and hey presto, win-win. In order to celebrate this act of generosity here is a little tribute video done by an intelligent young woman called Cristina on you-tube, I'd love to see her debate Ray, I can imagine that would be messy.
You may be wondering why I titled this post "Banana man & noobin", well Ray is world famous on the net for another little video he did with Kirk just over a year ago, it's called "The Atheists nightmare" and in it they explain how a banana is proof positive that God exists; yes really! If you need a laugh I thoroughly recommend it.

If I was trying to invent a charicature that embodied the crazy thinking in religion, I couldn't even concoct something so ridiculous as the banana theory of god's intentionality in the world.
I suppose by derivation nose picking is evidence for the existence of god since our fingers fit so perfectly in our noses. And what about buggery??
Its pure comedy gold isn't it; what Ray failed to realise is that the banana he held was the product of 200 years of selective human breeding, wild bananas are inedible; and how the heck does he explain pineapples!?
Unfortunately there are millions of people out there who fall for this crap, hook line and sinker; I don't know if you saw a BBC documentary in the summer called "Deborah 13: Servant of God" it followed a home schooled, brainwashed, Christian girl living in the wilds of Dorset, during the program she parroted all of Ray Comforts garbage, verbatim; I found it really sad since she seemed a very intelligent girl and would probably relish real science, wasted talent.
Isn't YouTube a wonderful thing!
Hi Louise, absolutely!, I do wonder sometimes what will be left for future historians to do or say :)
