Will UC Berkeley Ban "Origin of Species"???

Written by LW Press Release Monday, 10 August 2009

oos.jpg

A recent study revealed that in the 50 top universities in the U.S. (in the fields of psychology and biology), an amazing 61 percent of respondents described themselves as atheists or agnostics. It's no wonder atheism has doubled in the last 20 years among 19-25 year olds. An entire generation has been (and is being) brainwashed by atheistic evolution, and it's radically changing the culture of our nation.

In an effort to combat this, we produced a special 278-page full color cover edition of Origin of Species, which contains a 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 or use in schools, colleges, and prestigious learning institutions." The introduction also contains the entire contents of the popular booklet, "Why Christianity?" Over 30,000 of these books were pre-ordered, and we hope to go for a massive print in the near future. This is why

November 24th 2009 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Origin of Species. On that day we will be taking a team to U.C. Berkeley and giving 1,000 copies of the book to students. Berkeley's website says: "Anyone is free to distribute non-commercial materials in any outdoor area of the campus," so there shouldn't be a problem. Besides, what are they going to do--ban Origin of Species? That would be big news, especially when their own bookstore sells it for $29.99.

We want Christians around the country to do what we are doing at Berkeley on Nov. 24th--to give out 1,000 copies in each one of those top 50 universities. Imagine, 50,000 copies of these books suddenly flooding major learning institutions in one day!

When we get teams who commit to do a university, we will mark that particular one on www.OriginIntoSchools.com as being "covered," until we have all 50 covered, along with contact details of how to get involved with each group.

The Alliance Defense Fund (1300 Christian lawyers who are on-call across the country) are working closely with us on this project. They will post each university's free speech and literature distribution policies (in a downloadable format) on the OriginIntoSchools.com website. They will also provide information on Christian groups in each one, and immediate cell phone access to lawyers in that area.

We want to give away these books to our future politicians, doctors, lawyers, etc., while we still have the liberty to do so. Please seriously consider working with us.

The first print of the book arrived on Friday. In more than 30 years of ministry, we have never had so much trouble with delivery. Amazingly,  five different freight companies let us down. We therefore had to delay our email Update about the arrival of the books.

When the shipment came, our fork-lift broke down as we wheeled it towards the truck (which had never happened before). When we tried to send out an Update saying the books had finally arrived, our website crashed and was down for an unprecedented 30 hours.

So if you are going to become involved in the front lines of fighting for this generation in this way, expect a battle (discouragement, hindrances, etc.). This is going to deal a powerful blow to the enemy, so keep in mind: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places..."Please keep us and yourselves in prayer.

To order a box of 40 books at 99 cents each (and the free poster), go to our webstore:

Singles copies are $4.99 each. Feel free to also call (800) 437-1893.

If you or your church wants to get 1000 copies into your local university on November 24th (at a cost of $990 plus shipping), or if you or your church would like to sponsor a university (pay for 1,000 copies for a team to give them out), send your email address and details to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Please tell your Christian friends about this project.

Order your books now and we will drop in

the poster you see above at no cost.

Thank you.

Until the trumpet sounds,

~Ray Comfort

    Proof that evolution is true:

    Only thing is, Kirk Cameron got it backwards: the duck-croc (not \"crocoduck\") has been discovered at last! So stop beleiving in literal genesis.

    Yes Scott, it is sad if Christians do not use good arguments. However it should not embarrass you if your brothers and sisters believe what scripture says in its first book.
    Actually Ray and Kirk are encouraging people to read - that is why they are handing out books.
    To anyone else: if you understand science, do you understand why the universe exists? Are you so sure that men have discovered the secret of existence because they have learned some science? I would rather call on the God Who made everything.

    Parrots and birds of paradise don\'t talk they mimic sounds. The lyre dird of southern Australia mimics the sound of chainsaws chopping down the forrest. 333 said donkeys and they do not talk; neither do snakes when they are trying to persuade people to eat forbidden fruits.

    I am a Christian scientist. No that doesn\'t mean I don\'t believe in doctors. I\'m literally a scientist and a christian. B.S. in chemistry had my fair share of physics, biochem, biology, zoology, physiology, anatomy, and now i\'m a dental student taking professional level courses in these subjects. It embarrasses me that my brothers and sisters in Christ attempt to \"reason\" with people without even understanding the argument. Christians started out with the Intelligent Design argument which now even the catholic church is saying it\'s bogus. If you haven\'t taken several science courses you have no business trying to argue with people who have. Much in the same way, it is pointless for non-christians to use the bible against christians who actually know it better. To truly understand what evolution is just be open minded about what is being taught. Actually read a book or attend a lecture. Don\'t listen to people like Richard Dawkins, they are the atheistic versions of Christians trying to destroy the idea of evolution. Find out what other ideas are out there and how they affect your world view. Personally I\'m trying to reconcile evolution with Christianity. I don\'t believe they are opposed to each other. But that is my belief I have arrived at from studying Christianity and evolution. If \"all truth is God\'s truth\" then you really must think about what it means for Christians to deny facts about nature. What are we really saying when we deny reproducible results in biology? Also, please do not use arguments like the mousetrap and peeling a banana as proof that God created everything. We eat pineapples too that don\'t fit into our hand nicely and neatly. These are not valid arguments in any sense of the word and it shows an ignorance on the person professing them. Finally, the \"something from nothing\" argument about the Big Bang isn\'t addressing the big bang. No one thinks that there was nothing there and then the entire universe. It is an anomaly that science can\'t explain. Science isn\'t interested in supernatural (God, ghosts, angels, etc) and at the same time, no Christian can claim to truly understand what it means to say with confidence that God has existed forever and has always been and there was nothing before him or after him. In the same way that we cannot wrap our minds around this concept, we cannot wrap our minds around how the universe was created. Let\'s be nice to each other and especially to the lost. They are in a state of hopelessness and do not realize their mistakes and errors. We are born in to rebellion against God and only through him do we attain salvation. We should reach out to love one another rather than point fingers and hold up signs.

    An Agnostic is not an Atheist in my understanding and use of these terms. Some will not be satisfied with the gift of life without projecting their own egos into it. Belief is a personal thing and the weak and lonely cannot seem to accept this plight.
    Man is a sinner according to most religions so why is it that anyone would spend time trying to convince another that they are telling the truth much less know the truth about life in a place they have never been?
    I grew up in a christian church and found a higher percentage of conscious lies, deceivers and users there than outside. I also travelled and joined a number of denominations through the decades and observed that few christians even read the bible. Many follow the dictates of the Rev or Pastor and are scared to question them. Why is there so much child rape and sexual deviancy carried out by these so-called spiritual \'leaders\'? And they continue to be supported. Is there anything more insane than this?
    Perhaps we are not as special as many like to believe so deal with it and enjoy your time because it runs out. If we wake into another dimension... then and only then will you know the next step of your spiritual journey.
    If many of the so-called christian leaders believe in God and Love, why don\'t they spend more time taking care of the starving and homeless children and the dying sick instead of spending so much time wearing expensive suits, driving expensive cars and worrying about what others think of them. I don\'t remember seeing Jesus depicted in anything but sandals and robes. No diamonds and gold or expensive hats and shoes. Jesus didn\'t require payment for food when he fed or when he loved.

    333,

    Don\'t believe in talking donkeys, eh? How about talking parrots? Or gorillas that can use sign language? The Bible says, God has chosen the foolish things of world to confound the wise. I guess you can take consolation that the foolishness of talking animals is beneath your intellect, but I see it as yet another Biblical example of how far God will go to reach someone.

    as some one who grew up in a very christian home and having read most of the bible, trust me reading it any more wont help. it was precisely the fact that i read it that made me doubt it. even before i knew about evolution the bible was simply hard to believe and in some cases indistinguishable from fairy tales, i mean talking donkeys any one? having found a simple and elegant explanation in science made it possible for me to become a happy and fulfilled non-believer

    I applaud you for what you are doing. As far as handing Christian anything to anybody, they don\'t have to accept it. I believe that Atheist and other people that do not believe in God do not want to accept the literature because they are scared of what they might learn. I am a Christian and I have read copies of other books about other religions. It has not changed my mind about what I believe in, but it shows me exactly what other people believe in and why. Our job is to preach the Gospel(the Holy Spirit will convert you) not me. If you are an atheist and your set into your belief, then what could it hurt for you to read or hear something about Jesus? Are you scared that you might actually believe?

    How is it brainwashing to develop atheistic beliefs through a detailed scientific study of anatomy and genetics, but not brainwashing to push Christian beliefs onto the very same people?
    Also, why bring Hitler into it? It devalues all arguments that you have made: he was evil, yes, but evolution as a theory has nothing to do with him; it is not affected by whether or not he subscribed to it. He also belived that the Earth was round, and gosh he may have been right there. Of course Darwin was dismissive of women, so were those in the Bible who forbade them from worshipping when they were menstruating. It comes from social conditioning of the time. Of course, you are free to spread your message, and this should be allowed. However, you must expect people to refuse your rather silly arguments and try to reason with you in return.
