  • In 2009, Ray Comfort offered an abridged version of Charles Darwin's The On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, retitled Origin of Species, and included a fifty-page introduction wherein he tried to explain how Darwin was wrong, atheists are idiots and Christianity is the only thing people need in their lives. The pre-order webpage stated that the introduction "reveals the dangerous fruit of evolution, Hitler’s undeniable connections to the theory, Darwin's racism, and his disdain for women." The claims offered include: * 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 and (as it says on the back cover) 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". The pre-order page also states that the publisher, part of Ray Comfort's "The Way of the Master" company, wants "to get one million copies into the hands of students and professors in colleges and universities throughout the U.S." The reason? "Let's see if they try to ban Darwin's Origin of Species [sic]. That would be interesting."
