I usually manage to read a book or two a month, selections often influenced by the debates on FreeRepublic.

Supplement that with some classic evolution books. Like this one, which was one of the most popular evolution books in Germany:

The Evolution of Man
The book was also published by Charles Kerr &co. Here's Kerr's promo blurb:
"Modern socialism is closely allied to the modern scientific theory of evolution, and it is impossible to understand it without some knowledge of that theory. Now evolution is accepted as a working basis in every university of Europe and America, and no one with a scientific education wastes time in questioning it. Nevertheless, there has until now been no popular explanation of the evolution of man in simple form at a low price. There is a very good reason for this. If laborers understand science, they become socialists, and the capitalists who control most publishing houses naturally do not want them to understand it. "The Evolution of Man" tells in full detail, in a clear, simple style, illustrated by pictures, just how the descent of man can be traced back through monkeys, marsupials, amphibians, fishes, worms and lower forms of life, down to the animals composed each of a single cell. Moreover, it proves that there is no such fixed line as was formerly thought to exist between the organic and the inorganic, but that the same life-force molds the crystal that molds the cell. It is not only simple; it is up to date and gives the latest discoveries in science. It is the book on the subject."

Obviously pure hogwash. Look, if you can't understand it any other way, then let me put it to you this way: I will not blame you for every heretic, apostate, witch, pagan, infidel or Jew murdered in the name of Christianity, and you will not blame "Darwinism" for every lunatic who latched on to Darwin's ideas in support of his own insanities?

Deal?
