One of the more interesting stories I've done recently is Ray Comfort's intention to supply university students with a copy of Charles Darwin's 'Origin of Species' with an introduction basically denouncing the book. This version will also be sold in Christian stores as an evangelistic giveaway. Clever? Out there? What do you think?
Here's the full story -

I'm biased in favor of Ray Comfort. I don't know what he wrote in the introduction. I do know that a lot of his rhetorical retorts, efforts to rebut objections to Christianity, in his Way of The Master course are sometimes cheesy and unconvincing. Sometimes. Overall, though, the power of the Bible to penetrate a conscience --- pretty overwhelming stuff to see the expressions on people's faces on his TV program, which yes I know is edited. etc. I'd figure that the intro to Darwin's book is pretty much in the same vein as all of the other things Comfort has written that I've read --- some good things, some inspiring things, some things that'll make you kind of cringe with a wish he hadn't made that point in that way, etc.
As far as the controversy itself, that's what I like about him ---- he loves it. Everything's a platform for him. And, given what he does for a life, I'd say that's just about what it needs to be.

Nope, I was incorrect, so I removed this post

Pastor Bill wrote:From what I have heard, he didn't write an introduction, it includes the original introduction by Darwin himself where he points out the diversity and hand of God in His creation. (Darwin himself would not agree with the atheistic mess his work caused)
Huxley his co-partner certinally would have approved of the athestic mess it caused
