Creationists Hand Out Darwin Books With New Intro

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― Hundreds of University of Minnesota students may crack open their new copies for Charles Darwin's "On The Origins of Species" to find a surprise.

Last week, a Christian group went to the Twin Cities campus and passed out 1,000 free copies of the book with a special 50-page introduction by evangelist Ray Comfort.

The introduction makes the case for creationism before turning to Darwin's classic work on evolution.

First-year student Clare Simonis got a copy. She tells The Minnesota Daily it is "kind of deceiving."

Minnesota wasn't the only university where the books were passed out. A spokeswoman for Living Waters, a company founded by Comfort, says 90 campuses are being targeted this month for the giveaways.
