Creationism Advocates Publish Darwin's 'Origin of Species,' With Rebuttal
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country
In time for the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, a major Christian ministry is publishing an edition of the book that features an introduction rebutting the theory of evolution and making the case for intelligent design. The ministry, Ray Comfort's Living Waters, is distributing tens of thousands of free copies on college campuses nationwide.
Kirk Cameron, star of the '80s sitcom Growing Pains, has recorded a video promoting the project, above.
Here's Living Waters' explanation of the 50-page introduction:
This introduction gives the history of evolution, a timeline of Darwin's life, Hitler's undeniable connections to the theory, Darwin's racism, his disdain for women, and his thoughts on the existence of God. It lists the theory's many hoaxes, exposes the unscientific belief that nothing created everything, points to the incredible structure of DNA, and the absence of any species-to-species transitional forms.
It presents a balanced view of Creationism with information on scientists who believed that God created the universe—scientists such as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Nicholas Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur and Johannes Kepler. It uses many original graphics and "is for use in schools, colleges, and prestigious learning institutions." The introduction also contains the entire contents of the popular booklet, "Why Christianity?"
Interesting to note that a recent book by the world's foremost Darwin experts makes the case that his scientific work was actually motivated by Christian-inspired abolitionism.

Responsible Intellectualism
Response to David Taylor's comments
This is a new one on me, what exactly is Responsible Intellectualism ??
Going along with the latest "fad" ? Who gets to decide what's "responsible"?
Just because you may not believe in a literal 7 day creation or perhaps even in God in general - after all that is ridiculous considering the odds that life was probably "seeded" here by aliens of some advance world we have yet to discover (Dawkins, Gould)
Ya - I see your point that is MUCH MORE INTELLECTUAL AND RESPONSIBLE SCIENCE !
Its too bad Einstein didn't go to college or perhaps he wouldn't have been sooo stupid and ignorant !
Don't be fooled: Interpreting Scientific Data
Just as not many stick around after a game to debate the outcome, most people are satisfied with the timing of world records; times of sunsets and high tides. There are many things that are not up to interpretation. To attempt to convice me that my life involves nothing more definite than birth and death, says alot about the way you choose to live your life. You experience a little bit of eternity everytime you lie your head on your pillow. You just never wake up. Vengence for the wronged, golden gutters for the poor, mansions for the homeless, life for those who've squandered theirs - that is a fantasy.
really?
Honestly, this seems like a bad joke. Having faith and practicing religion does not mean that you can't hold value in the theory of evolution. The bible is full of metaphors, and actually saying that the world was created in 7 days is ludicrous. Grow up and stop defacing history, modern thinking, and responsible intellectualism. Evolution is happening, every day. There is a ton of proof.... and if you really think that it isn't... feel free to stop reaping the benefits of years of evolutionary science... such as the flu shot.
