Kirk Cameron Does Not Speak For Me

Over the millenia, I've relied on a variety of unlikely prophets to conveny my message to the masses, but never did I expect a former child TV star - whose character hung around with a kid named "Boner" - to become one of the more visible champions for my cause. And I gotta tell ya, I'm not a happy savior.

While I'm the first person/deity to beat my chest about Dad creating the whole flipping universe in a mere six days (while managing to hit snooze until almost noon on Sunday), I don't much care for Ass-Captain Kirk parading around like some sort of authority on the origin of existence just because he knows Alan Thicke.

And what's with altering the classics to fit your specific worldview, Kirk. I mean, I know Charles Darwin. Me and Chuck play cribbage. He may have a tendency to take things a little too literally (when I said consider the birds of the air, I didn't mean observe finches in the Galapagos and draw conclusions based on the scientific method). But he's a good guy, and I got his back when the likes of Mike Seaver trash his quintessential work.

What's next, Kirk? You change the opening of Star Wars to "In a Galaxy - Created in a Week by God - Far, Far Away?" Or you turn Moby Dick from a whale into a "big fish" capable of sustaining human life in its stomach for three whole days?

oh jesus. here's my take, and please correct me if i'm wrong: couldn't one say that your dad did, in fact, create the universe, but not necessarily in the way we all think? i.e. he *is* responsible for the "big bang," which then led to evolution and life as we know it?

and everyone knows that kirk cameron is an asshat anyway.

love your blog, btw. :-D

Hmmm... Anonymous. This better not actually be Kirk Cameron hiding behind the cloak of anonymity.
