The Collapse of the Theoryo

Evolution:
The Fact of Cr eation

Evolution propaganda, which has gained acceleration lately, is a serious threat to national beliefs and
moral values. The Science Research Foundation, which is quite aware of this fact, has undertaken the

duty of informing Turkish public about the scientific truth of the matter.

FIRST CONFERENCE - ISTANBUL

The first of the series of international conferences organised by Science Research Foundation (SRF) took place in 1998.
Entitled "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution: The Fact of Creation", it was held in Istanbul on April 4, 1998. The conference,
which was a great success, was attended by recognised experts from around the world and provided a platform on which the
theory of evolution was for the first time questioned and refuted scientifically in Turkey. People from all segments of Turkish so-
ciety attended the conference, which drew a great deal of attention. Those who could not find place in the hall followed the con-
ference live from the closed-circuit television system outside.
The conference included famous speakers from Turkey and from abroad. Following the speeches of SRF members, which re-
vealed the ulterior ideological motives underlying the theory of evolution, a video documentary prepared by SRF was presented.
Dr Duane Gish and Dr Kenneth Cumming, two world-renowned scientists from the Institute for Creation Research in the USA
are authorities on biochemistry and paleontology. They demonstrated with substantial proof that the theory of evolution has no
validity whatsoever. During the conference, one of the most esteemed Turkish scientists today, Dr Cevat Babuna illustrated the
miracles in each phase of a human being's creation with a slide show that shook the "coincidence hypothesis" of evolution to
its roots.

PROF. DUANE GISH:
"The fossil record refutes the evolutionary theory and
it demonstrates that species appeared on Earth fully
formed and well designed. This is a concrete evidence
for that they were created by God."

World-renowned evolution expert Dr. Duane Gish, re-
ceiving his SRF plaque from Dr. Nevzat Yalcintas, a
member of the Turkish Parliament.

SECOND CONFERENCE - ISTANBUL
The second international conference in the same series was held three months after the first on July 5, 1998 in Cemal Resit Rey
Conference Hall again in Istanbul. The speakers-six Americans and one Turk-gave talks demonstrating how Darwinism had
been invalidated by modern science. Cemal Resit Rey Conference Hall, with a seating capacity of a thousand, was filled to over-
flowing by an audience of rapt listeners.
The speakers and their subjects at this conference are summarised below.
Professor Michael P. Girouard: In his speech, "Is it Possible for Life to Emerge by Coincidences?", Michael Girouard, a profes-
sor of biology at Southern Louisiana University, explained through various examples the complexity of proteins, the basic units
of life, and concluded that they could only have come into existence as a result of skilled design.
Dr Edward Boudreaux: In his speech, "The Design in Chemistry", Edward Boudreaux, a professor of chemistry at the
University of New Orleans, noted that some chemical elements must have been deliberately arranged by creation in order for life
to exist.
Professor Carl Fliermans: A widely-known scientist in the USA and a microbiology professor at Indiana University conducting
a research on "the neutralisation of chemical wastes by bacteria" supported by the US Department of Defence, Carl Fliermans
