                  N           CSE Reports is a magazine published by an education cen-

                              ter named The National Center for Science Education
                  based in Berkeley, California. This magazine is supported by the
                  American Academy of Scientists, and despite the fact that the group is
                  essentially evolutionist, the November-December, 1999, issue was de-
                  voted to the works of Harun Yahya dealing with the collapse of the the-
                  ory of evolution. The cover bears the title, "Islamic Creationism in
                  Turkey" and gives this introduction:
                     "... Most representative is Harun Yahya’s text The Evolution Deceit.
                     The book comes in 2 version - a large, attractive 370-page volume no-
                     table for its many full-color illustrations and slick appearance (Yah-
                     ya 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)..."
