On the Origin of Species: Special Edition

Now featuring ridiculous introduction by Ray Comfort.

For those who don't know, are planning distribute copies of On the Origin of Species featuring a 50 page "introduction" by Ray.

I skimmed the intro and it's mostly the usual PRATTs. He even Godwin's himself about halfway through (just can't leave Hitler out of it, eh?).

What I find really bizarre, however, is his attempted justification at the end of the book on why you should choose Christianity over Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. He first assumes Christian theology is true, then therefore only being a Christian can save you from hell. Huh? Does this sort of logic actually work on people?

Haha.

When Ray Comfort eats a Banana, he becomes...



Seriously Comfort's one of many perfect examples of the ignorance of creationism.

Let us all sit back and laugh. Really, there is no other suitable response to inanity of that scale.

"Special" edition is the right description there....

Does anyone actually take Comfort seriously? I'm half convinced he's trolling everyone.

I haven't read Darwin's Preservation of Favoured Races, nor do I intend to.
