Darwinism Controversy



Kirk Cameron, a well known actor, specifically for the ABC hit television show Growing Pains, recently spoke out about his religious beliefs and his conflicting issues with the idea of Darwinism, or evolutionism, being taught throughout colleges. It is true that Darwinism is being taught and has been taught in any biology class or anthropology class for years. And adversely religious practices are being banned from public schools everywhere. Cameron takes all this into consideration when he expresses his dilemma concerning this issue. He relates his statement to the considerable rise in those who believe in atheism and those who believe in Christianity. "Atheism has been on the rise for years now, and the Bible of the atheists is The Origin of Species. 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 students make an informed, educated decision before they chuck their faith." His statements really fired up many academic boards and those who do believe in evolution because he publicly critiqued their beliefs. Cameron along with Ray Comfort devised a plan to get their theory out by handing out free copies of their book on a college campus specifically targeting college freshmen.
I tried to include the video where Kirk Cameron talks about his theory but I couldn't get it to work so here is the link, it's very interesting so check it out.
And if anyone can tell me how to upload a video that would be great.

  1. I have watched some of Kirk Cameron’s videos about intelligent design before and have been to his website. I have also watched him interview college kids, asking them to explain why they believe in evolution. Many of them had no idea why they believed in evolution but it was all that had been taught by their professors. I completely agree with Kirk Cameron and I am glad he is in support of teaching both intelligent design and evolution in schools that way students have a choice of what to believe. I am glad Kirk Cameron is so public about his faith and I like the fact that he uses scientific evidence to explain creationism.
