             Origin of Species by Charles Darwin

Berkley students resist Origin of Species giveaway.

The reason they are upset is that an introduction pointing out many of its problems has been added to the front of the book.

This month LivingWaters.com is giving away more than 100,000 copies of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species at 100 top U.S. universities (other individuals and churches have purchased approximately 70,000 copies to also give to students). This will be the entire publication (304-pages). 

Nothing has been removed from Darwin’s original work. As usual with reprints of On the Origin of Species there will be an Introduction. In order to be up front, Ray Comfort’s name will be on the cover. 

In only one day 170,000 future doctors, lawyers and politicians will receive information about Intelligent Design and the Gospel placed directly into their hands! 

This special 308-page edition not only contains the full Origin of Species but also has a 50-page Introduction that reveals the dangerous fruit of evolution, Hitler's undeniable connections to the theory, Darwin's racism, and his disdain for women. It counters the claim that creationists are "anti-science" by citing numerous scientists who believed that God created the universe -- scientists such as Einstein, Newton, Copernicus, Bacon, Faraday, Pasteur, and Kepler. 

It has many original graphics. It is designed for use in schools, colleges, and prestigious learning institutions. The back cover lists the above information as well as saying the book contains "Information on Intelligent Design vs. Evolution." 

Some students aren't too happy that 170,000 copies of a special edition of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species will be freely given away at 100 top U.S. universities this November. 

One student wrote: "efforts at UC Berkeley will be met with unilateral resistance." 

In their own inimitable fashion,  this atheist added: "You people are the scum of the earth. Your introduction is nothing but lies, misquotations, misrepresentations, slander and bias. I am personally donating every penny I can afford to help release a bible with a 100 page Introduction doing the same thing, we will hand this out at all your top religious universities and churches around the nation. If there was a hell you people would rot in it for eternity. With the utmost contempt, Shawn Truesdell."
