Darwin Day Mystery Resolved!

So Michael solved the mystery of the Darwin book: http://www.usnews.com/blogs/god-and-country/2009/10/30/how-creationist-origin-distorts-darwin.html

That's disappointing. And unsettling. And now I feel conned and swindled. Although, I do feel better that I have the book than if someone else were to have the book. Someone who would read the introduction and be easily influenced, that is.

Really though, I have to question the effectiveness of this campaign. I mean, seriously, how many people feel the need to read On the Origin of the Species (my roommate aside), even if it is free? It's not exactly leisure reading material.

I guess the the people they're trying to reach are the scientists who firmly believe in evolution. Because those are the people who might actually be interested in reading the book. And Ray Comfort hopes that his introduction will magically sway their opinions.

I suppose that might work.. I did consider reading the introduction - it seemed innocent enough at first glance. I still might read it just for shits and giggles. But that might just make me angry. And you don't want to know what happens when I'm angry...

Just kidding. About being the Hulk, not about anything else.

Man, I'm not sure what to do with this book now. The article mentioned book burning, which sounds appealing. But... I don't believe in burning books. A little too Qin Shihuang for me. But I feel embarrassed having it on my shelf. And it takes up space. And and... I just feel it's a waste of paper. And ink. And time, and money, and resources. It's more of a waste than I am - and that's saying something. ;)


And... WTF AM I DOING BLOGGING WHEN I HAVE A PROJECT THAT IS EFFECTIVELY DUE IN LESS THAN SIX AND A HALF HOURS?

Apparently, I only feel the need to blog when I really need to be doing other things.

Just another way of procrastinating, I guess. I must really hate myself, haha.


More to blog about later: People discovering their true passions in college (cheesy, I know. Don't have the time right now to make it sound cool.)
