Kirk Cameron Films Anti-Gay PSA for NOM, Still Wonders Where Crocoduck Is
Well, now there’s this:
But before you lend Growing Pains’ Mike Seaver even an ounce of credibility, please remember this:
In 2007 creationists Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort participated in a televised debate, parts of which were aired on ABC Nightline, on the existence of God. Comfort says they produced imaginary composite pictures of what “we imagined would be genuine species-to-species transitional forms. We called one a ‘crocoduck’ and another was called a ‘birddog.’ These pictures were used to show exactly what they thought evolutionists believe, but can’t back up through the fossil record.”[4] Their composite picture of the imaginary “crocoduck” showed the head of a crocodile on a duck’s body.
This claim was widely publicised and ridiculed as an example of creationist misconceptions. In The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution, the evolutionary scientist Richard Dawkins included a section titled ‘Show me your crocoduck!’ in which he compared this to the question put by another creationist as to why there was no transitional fossil ”fronkey” between frogs and monkeys, and described it as a warped misunderstanding of evolution.
Crocoduck and birddog. Never forget.
