HARUN YAHYA

USA - SCIENCE

The influence of his books on evolution, especially the internationally
renowned The Evolution Deceit, is reflected in the well-known scientific
evolutionary magazine Science. Robert Koenig’s article (18 May 2001),
"Creationism Takes Root Where Europe, Asia Meet," gives a lengthy
account of Harun Yahya's struggle against this deception, the interna-
tional success of his The Evolution Deceit, and the defeat of evolutionists
in Turkey. The article emphasizes that this broad academic endeavor—
"One of the world's strongest anti-evolution movements outside North
America"—seeks to cause the collapse of the theory of evolution on the
scientific front and states that it is making inroads in other Muslim
countries. Koenig also discussed the international success of The

Evolution Deceit and mentioned that some evolutionist scientists in
Turkey complain that
"books by Harun
Yahya such as The

Evolution Deceit have
become more influen-
tial than textbooks in
certain parts of
Turkey." In the article,
their concerns are
expressed in these
words "… Many evolu-
tionist scientists fear
they are losing ground
to creationists in public
opinion."
