3. Whenever things like this happen I can't get that stupid little bully

From the Simpson's laugh out of my head - "Ha Ha!". I never even watched it regularly, but I am cursed with that! I don't even know who he was in the show, but that laugh...

10. Drats. The correspondence database only goes to 1859

In 1860 Darwin wrote to botanist Asa Gray "I cannot ... be contented to view this wonderful universe and especially the nature of man, and to conclude that everything is a result of brute force. I am inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws, with the details, whether good or bad, left to the working out of what we may call chance. Not that this notion at all satisfies me." "The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin" 1959 vol. 2, p. 105)

11. Screw them

If their entire Buy-bull can be online then why not Darwin?

12. Just a question that came to mind...

Why would they even care? These books have been available in libraries for years.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. Are you serious?

Can't you see the HUGE increase in availabilty of ANYTHING when it goes online?

[VindiPlum]

14. Oh Pinko

It was just a question.

Last time I checked the library was just as available as the internet.
Don't you go to the library?

15. You must think Project Gutemberg is good for nothing, too.

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

Seriously: :wtf:

[VindiPlum]

16. Ahem

Project Gutenberg is a part of the public library system. Has been since 95.

As long as people are reading, it matters not what format they are using.

17. From the article:

"Darwin Online features many newly transcribed or never-before-published manuscripts written by the great man."

Hardly "why care" stuff.

[VindiPlum]

18. I believe my question was...

Why would they care? They being Fundamental Christians who would object to reading Darwin's works. I am sure that is a very small percentage of readers, while the percentage of readers interested in these works would be greater. I hope that many students will read these works and form opinions of their own.
