It makes you use your brain



Really, it does. Or so say its creators, Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. What is "it"? It is a new game called "Intelligent Design Versus Evolution". You see, it really, really makes you use your brain as evidenced by this statement from Cameron:

"We are very excited about this game because it presents both sides of the creation evolution argument, and in doing so, shows that the contemporary theory of evolution is perhaps the greatest hoax of modern times."


Or maybe not.

I like the way he says it presents "both side of the argument" and calls evolution "the greatest hoax of modern times" in the same sentence. I think we've found the guy who came up with "fair and balanced" for FOX.

For more on brain usage (*cough* or lack thereof *cough*), let's hear from the other creator of the game:

"Intelligent Design Versus Evolution' is unique in that the playing pieces are small rubber brains. We used the brains because we want players to use their brains. The incentive is to play for 'brain' cards, and the team or individual with the most brains wins. There are brains all over the game, because we want to make people think deeply about what they believe.

"This is because the average person doesn't know that the evolutionist lives by a blind faith in an unscientific theory (a theory that one scientist called a 'fairy-tale for grown-ups'). Through the game we show the irrational nature of evolution, using their own beliefs and quotes. This explains why evolutionists have a special language, something we call 'the language of speculation,' where they use words like 'We believe, perhaps, probably, maybe, could have …"

[...]

If, in fact, evolution would be the truth, there would have to be evidences of some sort of those transitions, such as a sheepdog, pupling, or bullfrog.[pictured above, as it is in the game--Misty]


Anyway, did you see where this guy--an author who wrote books called: How to Bring Your Children to Christ, Intelligent Design vs. Evolution – Letters to an atheist, Nostradamus: Attack on America--calls evolution an unscientific theory? WTF? Yeah, this guy is really using his brain all right.

But, hey, you even get a bonus video with the game! Check this shit out:

The game also comes with a free award-winning DVD called "The Science of Evolution," in which Comfort and Cameron take an orangutan to lunch and discuss the theory of evolution.


I bet that orangutan was bored to tears by the lack of intelligent conversation.
