Kirk Cameron -- Mauled by a Bruin in Darwin Fight

Posted Nov 24th 2009 8:40AM by TMZ Staff

Kirk Cameron went to UCLA to convince students that Darwin's theory of evolution is dead wrong ... but when the students challenged the actor-turned-bible-banger to a debate, Kirk appeared to be "unfit" for the clash.



As we previously reported, Kirk headed to campus to hand out copies of a "revised" edition of "On The Origin of the Species" -- in which the author attempts to connect Darwin to Hitler.

During the "event," several students asked Kirk about his thoughts on Darwin. Kirk responded, "I believe that Darwin was absolutely ... that the end game was to make God ... was to remove God from the world view of .. I think that that was the end game."

Excellent point.

Here's another of our favorite exchanges:

Student: Science is based on evidence, where religion is based on faith.
Kirk: But Darwinism is extremely based on faith
Student: Not really, it's based on a lot of evidence.

More Kirk Cameron

5. The problem here is that Kirk is actually somewhat right as sad as it is. Believing in evolution is not a "religion". In fact, many Christians believe in evolution.

"Darwinism" is basically a religion that doesnt consider itself a religion even though it seems to operate in much the same way and its followers are the extreme of the extreme.

7. Christians choose to live in hate and fear and ignorance, but why do they want the rest of the world to be stupid and evil too?

10. @Poopy Pants... I'm a Christian and I don't "choose to live in hate and fear and ignorance, but why do they want the rest of the world to be stupid and evil too?"... Well, it gave me a chance to talk to ya, didn't it? BTW, I don't agree with Kirk Cameron or his views, and I still have faith in God.

11. Cameron is an idiot. He has not a single original thought. All of his interviews have been similar to this "debate." He's sticks to the script [quotes from his "book" verbatim] and when required to actually think, he fails.

It's no wonder he doesn't give credence to evolution. He's incapable of evolving personally - probably still believes in the Easter Bunny.

IMO, a god is nothing but an imaginary playmate for adults.

13. Obviously in high percentiles, by not getting the joke that there's not a "no" button, your Athiest readers/viewers are showing us firsthand that they are slow, closed minded and unintelligent. What a frickin' surprise!


Keep up the good work, Kirk. He may not be the best person in a debate, but he goes out and does this because he cares about people finding their way to the the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the one, true, living God.

14. Actually Darwinism is based on faith - faith that one day science will find all the missing links. However as a side note, TMZ disproves Darwinism by totally erasing all evolution! :)

15. I've always thought he's had some mental issues. What an idiot/douchebag. The saddest part is that his ego is based so much on delusion that he'll never admit to believing in a fairy tale.
