Meet Harun Yahya, the leading creationist in the Muslim world. – By Steve Paulson – Slate Magazine — This sort of thing never ends.

The great mystery is where Yahya’s Science Research Foundation gets its money. No one knows, though speculation runs from Saudi donors to wealthy Turks whose children have joined the secretive group. Whoever funds it, the organization seems to have the kind of wealth and influence that Christian creationists can only dream of. Yahya’s teachings aren’t confined to a religious subculture in Turkey. They’re part of the mainstream.

Creationist stories are now popping up in Turkish high-school science textbooks, and some government officials in the AKP, the ruling Islamic party, freely criticize evolution. In Ankara, the government’s point man on religious issues, Mehmet Gormez, told me, “All the holy texts say human beings are created by God. I think evolutionary theory is not scientific, but ideological.”

The Quran doesn’t have a detailed origins story like the six days of creation found in Genesis, but it does say Adam was created out of clay in a heavenly paradise and later banished to earth, along with Eve. Various polls show that many Muslim countries are predominantly creationist, but Turkey has recently emerged as a hub of global opposition to evolution.

    I Am sincere , sorry you dont like my sense of humor .

    GOD Has a sense of humor as does Jesus.

    remember Jesus is alive and well he no longer hangs on a cross .

    ” That’s why I don’t agree with allowing any alias…every “name” should have a context, past blogs.”

    How can i have a past history here of blogs when these are my very first ?

    Btw ~ My friends call me Coop, my full name is Lawrence James Cooper .

    What … Is yours ?

    The Truth Is Living and real. Jesus gave mankind his Spirit of Truth at pentacost … or didnt you read that part in your KJV ?

    Do you Love GOD or do you fear him ?

    Have No fear … there is No Hell.

    Btw ~ Your incorrect in your statement that all religions teach The Fatherhood of GOD And the Brotherhood of man.

    Each of thee so called worlds religions Think that they are the Right One … the chosen Ones .

    GOD Loves all his children, not just a few ones that think they are chosen ones.

    Listen brother Alfred, IF You really wish to talk about God and Jesus why not come visit me at the Truthbook.com site and we can talk as much as we want all day and all night. seriously.

    because as far as i understand Our brother John Dvorak in his violation of posting guidelines, states that … his 1st comandment is Thou shalt not post too many lengthy posts.

    Bless you and yours Brother …. ? Al
