If by 'evolutionists', you mean people with a smattering of science knowledge that know what evolution is, then why should they read Origin of Species?
I assume this is a badly thought out parody of the Christians not reading the Bible thread. The key difference is that Origin of Species is not a Bible of a religion.
Do you believe gravity exists? Have you read Newton's Principia? Should all those that accept the existence of Gravity read Newton's work?

It's quite a dry piece of work. I never finished it. It was too much like work slogging through it. Thank goodness for summations.
Do you think one needs to read and understand Maxwell's equations before flicking a light switch? Good luck with that one.

I agree that science is not faith, but they both yield to their own "method".
This leads me to call faith, like science, another type of knowledge. The conduit through which it is perceived may be different, but it's still a type of knowledge. You can think of the relationship as like an allegory.
Of course I'm just throwing this out there into the stream of consciousness of this thread. I don't expect anyone to see what I mean, at least at first.

After I became a Christian in college, I had a friend in the engineering program who had a t-shirt with Maxwell's four equations on it. Above the equations, it said "And God said:" Below the equations, it said "...and there was light."
