Christian pastor Ray Comfort decided to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by writing his own introduction and handing out free copies of the book to college students across the country.
Comfort is responsible for handing out over 100,000 copies of the abridged Darwin book. His version includes 54 pages that attempt to debunk the theory of evolution that Darwin lays out in the book.
Did this anti-science stunt work or backfire?
The Comfort campaign targeted the top 100 college campuses, where students were were just happy to get a free copy of the book.
