Our number two video on the countdown of C&L's most viewed videos of 2011, courtesy of CNN's Anderson Cooper, who apparently thinks bringing on Christian evangelist Kirk Cameron, who starred in the Left Behind series to discuss the mysterious bird and fish deaths in Arkansas, is something that passes for "news" these days.

Heaven forbid they might be lagging behind Fox in the department of not only pushing for more religion in our government (as long as it's the right kind of religion and not those evil Muslims, don't you know), but doing their best to validate the views of right wing evangelicals as well.

From January of this year -- Anderson Cooper Brings on 'Left Behind' Actor Cameron to Discuss Bird and Fish Deaths in Arkansas -- Seriously?.

Do you remember Kirk Cameron, former child star and current promoter of the banana-as-proof-of-God theory of evangelism?

Well, he's baaaack:

In a video posted recently to YouTube, Cameron lays out a plan to subvert 'Darwin Day' on November 22, 2009 -- a date marking the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species." Cameron says that he and like-minded activists plan to deliver 50,000 copies of an altered version of Darwin's book to students at dozens of U.S. universities.

Cameron explains that this "very special" edition of the "Origin of Species" will include an introduction explaining "Adolf Hitler's undeniable connection" to the theory of evolution, and highlighting "Darwin's racism" and "his disdain for women." Cameron's edition also exposes the "many hoaxes" of evolutionary theory, while presenting a "balanced view of Creationism." (There's a pdf of this introduction here.)

Super classy guy, that Cameron. Tying Darwin to Hitler. And misogyny and racism. What, no pedophilia or necrophilia? A YouTuber who goes by the name ZOMGitsCriss responds to Cameron's plans:

Kirk Cameron: The Banana and Creationism
You have to watch this video. I've been converted and I now bow down to the sacred "Chiquita." Make sure you only watch from the 3:30 mark until the 4:36 mark.
The Disgruntled Chemist:

I don't know how I ever doubted that intelligent design was correct! After watching a video involving Kirk Cameron, I now see the error of my ways, and will be tithing 50% of my income to the church every month out of contrition.
