So if the theory of evolution is wrong because the author was sexist and racist, doesn't that also mean that the bible is wrong?

That's merely your limited understanding of the Bible causing you to make conclusions you are not educated enough to understand!

The Lord will forgive you. Or smite you. Either way, He still loves you, but His anger is great.

Think about it. If you're surrounded by the sweet, sweet temptation of sheep, you have all the more reason to find Jesus.

Someone asked Dawkins to respond to that. And it's hilarious, inclusive of a BJ reference from the 60+ year old Dawkins.

Awesome vid . I love that BJ reference XD. He does have a fair point though. Not really worth panicking about.

For all people talk about Dawkins as though he had become as bad as the fundies he fights (insert obligatory Nietzsche reference here) - a view I disagree with, but can see where it comes from - nobody can deny that he has infinitely more class than his opponents.
As to the sexism and racism business, I mention this a lot because it's a serious pet peeve but using it to make ad hominem attacks is one of only two circumstances in which the religious right acknowledge the existence of either. The other, of course, being when (rightly or wrongly) they believe men or whites to be affected.

This kind of thing makes me so fucking mad...seriously...on the friggin press release Comfort says not a damn thing about taking out 4 goddamn chapters of the book...just slipping it under the radar "yep, all we're doing is just adding some information so people can make an INFORMED decision"...BULLSHIT.
Someone needs to put up info all over the campuses mentioned (Marc's got a head start on that idea) and the webs that say, "oh, btw: *4 chapters are taken from this book, so you're not getting the complete picture, *also it's a bit old and evolutionary theory has, well, 'evolved' since then - so go read Dawkins and ask Ray Comfort to refute HIM in writing, *Origin was the first book burned during the Nazi regime (thx stormwarden....citation? I have some gullible relatives who need to hear this), *racism was rampant and (unfortunately) not unusual during Darwin's time, same for his views on women, *and also, FUCK Kirk Cameron - are you intelligent college students going to believe a homeschooled idiot who never got as far as you have academically??"
GRR. *foams at the mouth* must look for Jeffersonian bible...I've been thinking about getting those Bible Warning (this book is fictional and contains, yadda yadda, etc, not recommended for children - I'm too lazy to look this up right now) stickers printed up for the longest time and slipping them into bibles at the local church my family goes to, and this might push me over the edge to that...

It says more for the strength of evidence and the probative power of any theory that the alleged alternative can be handed out unvarnished. This underhanded removal of chapters speaks volumes as to how strong TWOTM really think their case is.
The Comferon hivemind is insulting the intelligence of everyone they give this to. They are liars and vandals. By their own book they are damned. If I was going to protest them, I'd play that up to the hilt.
