This is interesting. A board game that promotes Intelligent Design. I can't remember who Kirk Cameron is but he's an actor that developed this game with Ray Comfort, a "best-selling author" I also can't place. I'd really like to buy one but I hate to support this sort of product. I'm betting quite a few evolutionists would like to see what this is all about. It sells for $29.95. I'm going to check around for a used copy but if I don't find one I'll likely buy this. It would be interesting to go over the game with the kids at Camp Inquiry this summer and have them critique it and also come up with ideas for an accurate board game. Last year they actually developed a role-playing game based on evolution that we one day hope to put online.

Along with the above article, here's a description of the game from the organization that sells it:

" Evangelistic, educational, entertaining. 
At last, a board game that reveals the insanity of perhaps the greatest hoax of our times -- the unscientific "theory of evolution." 

"Intelligent Design vs Evolution" is unique in that the playing pieces are small rubber brains and each team plays for "brain" cards. Each player uses his or her brains to get more brains, and the team with the most brains wins. It has been designed to make people think . . . and that's exactly what it does. 

"Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are doing much more than revealing the bankruptcy of molecules-to-man evolution. They have a greater purpose: proclaiming biblical authority and reaching the lost with the precious gospel message. Enjoy this wonderful family game as you also become better equipped to defend our precious Christian faith." -- Ken Ham, President, Answers in Genesis. "
