Cameron and Comfort, intellectual luminares of our time featured on CNN

two things. 1. an actor claims to be smarter than almost all the scientists there are and is somehow capable of "debunking" them.
2. What if we put a 50 page preface on the bible and gave it out? "This book is full of utter horseshit and should not be taken literally by anyone. It should not be taught to children as fact, and its racism and undeniable connection to hitler's nazi regime cannot be ignored."
Not to suggest by any stretch that the "origin of species" is somehow a bible for atheists or even comes close, but it does seem a reasonable retort.

Agreed. For the time being the majority of people in this country belong to a religion, so science needs their support just as much as it needs the support of atheists.

This is a stupid, childish argument and I'm getting tired of seeing it.
So what if you put a 50 page preface on the Bible? If a Christian keyed the shit out of your car would you key up his car, too? That's "eye-for-an-eye" thinking.
I find it extremely funny that a creationist is handing out unabridged copies of Charles Darwins Origin of Species on University campuses for free. This is irony at it's finest. I've read the introduction and, to be honest, Ray Comfort has the English comprehension of a 4th grader. He can't compete with Darwin's scientific knowlege nor can he compete with his writing. I don't see him as a threat in the least.

its not an argument, its a juxtaposition to make a point, implying both are incredulous. This is not a call to "revenge", rather it is merely stated to bring some perspective to the original concept in terms of the offending party.

I love this woman. Instead of sprawling, endless, monotonous whining about lack of representation and "the Man", she just gets up and does it -

Boy, did you just walk into it. I'd cover myself in bubble-wrap and go stand in a doorway if I were you.

Shhh, if you don't say anything too loudly the Feminist Hive Mind might not see. (The visual/auditory metaphors get soooo messed up on the Internet!)

I just have to ask because I am sooooo curious, but does anyone know where to obtain a copy? At least a copy of the intro? I am dying to read it!

Google is amazing.
I think part of the sign up process for this site should include finding something obscure on the web. I can't understand people that can't be bothered looking for anything.
I'll even attach it for you so you don't break your mouse finger clicking things.
