As promised, a campaign spearheaded by creationist Ray Compfort and promoted by actor Kirk Cameron has executed its planned stunt to mark the anniversary of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species. That stunt consists of giving away many thousands of copies of Darwin's book, modified with a special "introduction" written by Ray Comfort. That purported introduction however is little more than a 50-page rehash of tired creationist arguments that ultimately degenerates into an outright sermon on submission to Biblical authority.
The NCSE has launched a comprehensive and well constructed site that responds to this latest bit of creationist theatrics. The site has both text and video resources, and has responses varying in length from single page fliers to a thorough "blow by blow" analysis. There's also a list of the schools that have been targeted by the creationists.
