The Latest Crazy Creationist Promo at the Craziest Right Wing Site

I thought I’d seen everything.

Then I saw this completely crazy anti-evolution article at the web’s craziest right wing site, Weird Nut Daily: ’Origin of Species’ edition debunks evolution.

That’s right. They’re claiming that Darwin’s ground-breaking work “The Origin of Species” is an anti-evolution book. You almost have to bow down before such invincible stupidity. Verily, it gets no dumber than this.

For extra credit, it includes an insanely out-of-context and distorted quote from none other than P.Z. Myers:

“It’s like a book with multiple personality disorder – two parts that absolutely hate each other; an intro that is the inane product of one of the most stupid minds of our century, and a science text that is the product of one of the greatest minds of the author’s century,” wrote PZ Myers, who teaches at the University of Minnesota at Morris.

Do I need to point out how deceptive this is?

Here’s Ray Comfort, one of the universe’s densest creationists, selling snake oil to the many gullible readers of Weird Nut Daily:

Best-selling Christian author Ray Comfort says there are such huge holes in evolutionary arguments that he’s giving away 50,000 copies of a special edition of Charles Darwin’s “Origin of Species” that includes an introduction not only revealing the theory’s many hoaxes but also Darwin’s own thoughts on the existence of God.

And here’s Ray Comfort, explaining how the banana “debunks evolution” to fellow fanatic Kirk Cameron.

The Republican National Committee advertises on Weird Nut Daily. Anyone think there’s a problem with that?
