A well-known Christian author and evangelist says atheists are up in arms over a planned book giveaway at universities nationwide this November.
Ray Comfort is co-host of the weekly television show The Way of the Master. He discovered that Charles Darwin’s book On the Origin of the Species is public domain, so he has printed a special edition to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the book’s publication. The special edition includes a 50-page introduction, in which Comfort debunks the theory of evolution and points people to Christ. He and a host of volunteers will give away at least 100,000 copies of the book at college campuses nationwide. (See earlier article)
Comfort says he has received angry emails and letters from atheists concerning the giveaway.
“If you go online and type in Ray Comfort and Darwin’s Origin of the Species, you’ll find the atheists are running around like a hornet’s nest has been kicked. They really don’t know what to do about it,” Comfort notes. “They’re saying, ‘This is legal, we can’t stop it; let’s try to have a book burning. What can we do, write to Richard Dawkins?’ And it’s very interesting. And why are they threatened? I mean if I’m the idiot that they say I am, then it’s good that I’m putting down what I believe in an introduction. Why should they feel at all threatened?”
Portions of many of the giveaways will be videotaped for a showing on The Way of the Master television show.
