On Thursday November 19, 2009, Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (the banana guy) will be distributing 50,000 copies of Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species' at universities across America to students for free.
BUT THERE'S A CATCH!!
Each copy will have a 50 page intro about how evolution has never been proven and how Darwin helped inspire the Holocaust.
You can watch this video for more information:

Or read the 50 page intro here:

If this outrages you, then you're not alone. There's something we can do though. We can amass as many of these books as possible, remove the 50 page intro, and then donate perfectly good copies of 'Origin of Species' to schools, libraries, and Goodwill. We can actually make this into something positive.
If you are in college, then you are in a good position to help. Check your campus on November 19th, and if you see a group distributing copies of the book, then get as many as you can. Get a copy for yourself, ask if you can have extra copies for your friends, ask your friends to go ask for copies, and ask other people you see carrying the book if you can have their copy.
This is a shameful thing that Kirk Cameron and the Banana Guy are doing by altering another person's book in order to push their agenda. But we can help to restore the book to how it was intended and keep young minds from being brainwashed by misinformation.

Some insight from Eugenie Scott (Ph.D., executive director of the National Center for Science Education):
[T]here's no reason for students to refuse Comfort's free—albeit suspiciously abridged—copy of the Origin. Read the first eight pages of the introduction, which is a reasonably accurate, if derivative, sketch of Darwin's life. The last 10 pages or so are devoted to some rather heavy-handed evangelism, which doesn't really have anything to do with the history or content of the evolutionary sciences; read it or not as you please.
But don't waste your time with the middle section of the introduction, a hopeless mess of long-ago-refuted creationist arguments, teeming with misinformation about the science of evolution, populated by legions of strawmen, and exhibiting what can be charitably described as muddled thinking.

It also appears that 4 chapters are missing in this version, the ones that make the best case of evolution, of course!

And the chapter with the potential weaknesses, which also includes what it would take to overturn the theory, and what evidence would strengthen it.

I'm not sure any action is necessary here; any person that might be inclined to make a decision about the origin of life or the destiny of their "soul" based upon this propaganda stunt is better off with that group of morons anyway. They already have the majority of the idiots, might as well let them have them all.

They shouldn't be able to alter this book like that. They could have easily attached their view in a pamphlet or something with it. That's just not right.

Very true, Daley. But right and wrong does not matter to religious people of a certain stripe, as long as it is all 'For Jay-sus'. Fortunately not all religious people act this way, but the ones that do are a constant threat to people.

Howard Stern went off on Kirk yesterday calling him a big douche, moron and some other names I won't post here. I hate Kirk Cameron, what a dummy!

DontDissDarwin.com from PZ:
Go to the NCSE's Don't Diss Darwin site, and download the flyers and bookmarks and information there. Then on 19 November, when the creationist goons descend on your campus, follow them around and hand out truth and humor to go along with Comfort's bogosity.
Easy.
