Three unmistakeable signs of someone no one has any business taking even half-seriously:
1) They imply or state outright that the beginning of the universe, the earth, or life itself have something to do with evolution (completely separate fields of scientific inquiry).
2) They play the Hitler card.
3) They use Kirk Cameron as their spokesperson.
Watch the below-linked video advertising a new version of Darwin’s Origin of Species published by Ray Comfort, who left Darwin’s book intact but added a large introduction “refuting” evolution as only a non-scientist religious whacko could do it. Unbelievable: the first two contentions Cameron makes in the opening seconds of this video are as preposterously false as they are alarmist — not to mention irrelevant to the creation/evolution debate (just like the Hitler issue). Cameron says fervently, “Our kids can no longer pray in public. They can no longer freely open a Bible in school.” What bald-faced lies (I’ll not soften it by calling them mere misrepresentations)!
It doesn’t get any better from there.

I watched it all and found it as funny as a Thief in the Night movie marathon at a church youth group event followed by practice rapture jumping. That is to say, I didn’t find it funny at all. Instead, I grieved for Kirk, whose got his heart in the right place but his head where the sun don’t shine.
It almost makes me want to create a video response to Kirk. Hmmmm …

Steve,
I think Mike’s wife is the enlightened Mac user. But he could always borrow it.
