Here’s a quote from Ray, defending his bowdlerized edition of Darwin’s Origin of Species…

In Darwin’s book, nothing is as God created it. Instead, all of creation miraculously evolved–from the bear’s mouth to the giraffe’s tail. For some reason, it has all reached the point of maturity during our lifetime and (after millions of years of redundancy) now functions as it was intended. Move over, J.R.R. Tolkien, Arthur C. Clarke, and J.K. Rowling. These three combined don’t hold a candle to Charles Darwin. Most of their fans know that their writings were fantasy. Darwin’s faithful followers don’t.

In one paragraph he once again demonstrates that he still doesn’t understand shit about evolution– either that or he is simply lying for Jesus; and neither interpretation is particularly flattering.

Eugenie C. Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, responds, in what is to be the first exchange of many with this pathological halfwit.

Unfortunately, it will be hard to thoroughly read the version that Comfort will be distributing on college campuses in November. The copy his publisher sent me is missing no fewer than four crucial chapters, as well as Darwin’s introduction. Two of the omitted chapters, Chapters 11 and 12, showcase biogeography, some of Darwin’s strongest evidence for evolution.

UPDATE: The halfwit responds with some of his patented evasive turdery, bleating about no one showing him any evidence for “transitional” fossils (even though he has whined incessantly about this for years and been provided with countless examples) and Eugenie smacks him down hard:

Comfort complains that I didn’t provide enough detail in my brief essay about those fossil whales. You want a list of fossil whales showing the transitional features marking the evolutionary transition from land animal to marine, such as changes in the ears, nostrils, and limbs? Indohyus, Icthyolestes, Pakicetus, Nalacetus, Remingtonocetus, Ambulocetus… Never mind. Start here, for a nontechnical review by a team of whale paleontologists.
