USA - NCSE REPORTS

NCSE Reports, a magazine published by The National Center for Science
Education (based in Berkeley, California), is supported by the American
Academy of Scientists. Although this group is essentially evolutionist,
its November-December 1999 issue was devoted to Harun Yahya’s
works dealing with the theory of evolution’s collapse. The cover bears
the title "Islamic Scientific Creationism: A New Challenge in Turkey"
and gives this introduction:

... Most representative is Harun Yahya’s text The Evolution Deceit. The
book comes in 2 versions - a large, attractive 370-page volume nota-
ble for its many full-color illustrations and slick appearance (Yahya
1997) and an abridged 128-page booklet with fewer illustrations,
which was widely distributed free of charge to the public (Yahya
1998)…
Observing the awesome and orderly aspects of nature - the heavens
and the stability of the earth, lightning and rain, useful plant and
fruits, and so on - prompts common sense to conclude that all this
must be designed for a purpose (13 ar-Rad 2, 3; 30 ar-Rum 20-27)...

WHO IS HARUN YAHYA? Adnan Oktar, using the pen-name "Harun Yahya" devoted his
life to explaining the existence and the unity of Allah and the magnificence of the morals
of the Qur'an. He spent all his life serving for this purpose from his early ages. He has
never given up against the difficulties he faced. The biography states that Oktar entered
university in 1979 and has authored over 100 books since 1986 - a remarkable output
indeed for a single person.
