What to do with Creationist books?

So when I first became a Christian, I was a Creationist (it was before I attended college and started majoring in Biology. Get off my back.)



I have a few Creationist books. Ken Ham's "Answers in Genesis," Walt Brown's "In the Beginning" (that puppy ran me about $100. Feel free to leave me a virtual kick in the nuts for that one.)



I have no use for them, as these days I am reading science books by honest-to-goodness scientists. So what should I do with them?



I was thinking of selling or donating them to a bookstore, but I don't like the idea of contributing unscientific literature to whatever poor schmoe buys it from the bookstore.



I was thinking of throwing them away, but I can't bring myself to throw books away.



Advice? Suggestions?What to do with Creationist books?
"The Bible doesn't speak on science, my friend. God was not concerned with teaching ancient peoples science, though He is more than capable should He have chosen to."



Where did you hear that? Did you make that up?



But in answer to your question, bury them. Let the critters break it down and turn it into worm poop.
At least one of your local church libraries may want them. Even if not, you may be able to donate them to Goodwill, or some other 2nd-hand-store-charity, and take a tax deduction. I am guessing poor schmoes will either think uncritically, in which case they will not buy the books or use them to support their ideas, or they will think critically, in which case they will reject the books or buy them as a first step towards another opinion.What to do with Creationist books?

Get them out and read them again - you just might learn the truth -

BTW - Every TRUE Christian IS a Creationist, because if you



believe the religion og evolution, you must deny the Bible . . .

I would just keep them, you might have some kind of use for them one day. Heck, I have a copy of the Communist Manifesto, that doesn't mean I agree with it.What to do with Creationist books?
Do you have a fireplace?



Wait, that's not right, we don't burn books.



Its against my morals.



Do you have any tables which need a leg shim?
*administers kick in Christian Sceptic's nuts*



sell them through e-bay, amazon, or barnes and noble.
Put them back on the backtables of the evangelical church where you bought them...that way, should Jesus ever return, he'll have even more stuff on the tables that he overturns next time
Put them in the trunk of your car when it snows for better traction. You can also put them under the tires if you get stuck.
Burn them.

Added point: paradox: "Not every Christian is a creationist.'
I don't understand how a Christian isn't a creationist...
Pu them in the paper recycling program.
they burn really nicely, and if there are coloured pictures the flames may be really pretty, depending on the ink used
Next time you go camping, use them for kindling! They will last a long time if you use them one page at a time!
I'd throw them into a fireplace while singing amazing grace.
lets get rid of them Fahrenheit 451 style
In the event that a massive power outage occurs in the winter, you might be able to use them as a fire source.
You know you can get paid for recycling paper products
Give them to a third grader and ask him or her to find the mistakes.
Keep them, science doesn't prove everything but the Bible does.
Donate them to a church. Churches often have book and/or rummage sales.
donate them.
If you were really a Christian way back when, you would still be one.
