		<description>Harun Yahya - international hero against darwinism
Mr.Yahya dedicated intellectual effort against Darwinism and materialism has grown out to be a worldwide phenomenon. Quoting from the 22 April 2000 issue of New Scientist, Mr. Oktar became an &quot;international hero&quot; in communicating the fallacy of the theory of evolution and the fact of creation. The author&#039;s intellectual struggle against materialism and Darwinism has frequently been mentioned in such mainly evolutionist publications as National Geographic, Science, New Scientist and NSCE Reports. The English and German editions of the November, 2004, issue of National Geographic referred to the author&#039;s works concerning the Fact of Creation. The following quotation from the book The Evolution Deceit was also included: &quot;The theory of evolution is nothing but a deception imposed on us by the dominators of the world system.&quot;</description>

		<description>WHY DID PEOPLE BELIEVED INTO EVOLUTION FOR 150 YEARD? Because it was imposed and suggested as if evolution was a scientific fact. But in those days of evolution theory was brought forward, life could only be studied with very primitive technology and at a very inadequate level. Scientific fields such as genetics and biochemistry did not exist even in name. The theory therefore had to depend entirely on powers of imagination. 
But now by the improoved technology, science it can clearly prooved that evolution is a deceit. For example While the echoes of Darwin&#039;s book reverberated, Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance in 1865. Not much heard of until the end of the century, Mendel&#039;s discovery gained great importance in the early 1900s. This was the birth of the science of genetics. Somewhat later, the structure of the genes and the chromosomes was discovered. The discovery, in the 1950s, of the DNA molecule that incorporates genetic information threw the theory of evolution into a great crisis. The reason was the incredible complexity of life and the invalidity of the evolutionary mechanisms proposed by Darwin. 
So now we can ask evolutionists &quot;Can the information sufficient to fill 1 million encyclopedia pages that is contained in DNA be coded in the correct sequence by chance?&quot; Answer: No, it cannot. In the same way that it is impossible for someone wearing a blindfold to randomly print out a million pages of meaningful information, so it is impossible for unconscious and haphazard factors to arrange DNA. 
And just one question too, &quot;Can a single protein molecule emerge by chance?&quot; 
- No, it cannot. The chances of a protein molecule forming by chance are 1 in 10 950. In practical terms that figure means &quot;zero probability.&quot;</description>

		<description>The fossil record is perhaps the most important evidence that demolishes the theory of evolution&#039;s claims. Fossils reveal that life forms on Earth have never undergone even the slightest change and have never developed into one another. Examining the fossil record, we see that living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years agoâ€”in other words, that they never underwent evolution. Even during the most ancient periods, life forms emerged suddenly with all their complex structuresâ€“with the perfect and superior features, just as do their counterparts today.

This demonstrates one indisputable fact: Living things did not come into being through the imaginary processes of evolution. All the living things that have ever existed on Earth were created by God. This fact of creation is once again revealed in the traces left behind them by flawless living things.</description>

		<description>Harun Yahya must be appreciated. Why? Because he has changed the wievs of even most of the evolutionists even some professors. He has prooved that evolution is a lie that has been continuing for years just for serving to some harmful ideologies such as communism, fascism, racism that had caused wars, oppressions, slaughters. Harun Yahya prooved that evolution is a fallacy. How? For example with the fossil records that show that a living thing is just the same with its status before millions of years ago when looked at the fossils, the ambers. Just look at &quot;Atlas of Creation&quot;. There are lots of pictures of ambers, fossils. Under them it is written &quot;A 280-MILLION-YEAR-OLD FROG FOSSIL. There exists no difference between this frog, alive 280 million years ago, and those of today.&quot; or &quot;Ferns have kept their same structure since the day they were created. Ferns that have remained the same for approximately 300 million years are one piece of evidence verifying the invalidity of the evolution theory.&quot;</description>

		<description>Harun Yahya is definitely right.
Evolutionists assume that the sea invertebrates that appear in the Cambrian stratum somehow evolved into fish in tens of million years. However, just as Cambrian invertebrates have no ancestors, there are no transitional links indicating that an evolution occurred between these invertebrates and fish. It should be noted that invertebrates and fish have enormous structural differences. Invertebrates have their hard tissues outside their bodies, whereas fish are vertebrates that have theirs on the inside. Such an enormous &quot;evolution&quot; would have taken billions of steps to be completed and there should be billions of transitional forms displaying them.

Evolutionists have been digging fossil strata for about 140 years looking for these hypothetical forms. They have found millions of invertebrate fossils and millions of fish fossils; yet nobody has ever found even one that is midway between them.

An evolutionist paleontologist, Gerald T. Todd, admits a similar fact in an article titled &quot;Evolution of the Lung and the Origin of Bony Fishes&quot;:

All three subdivisions of bony fishes first appear in the fossil record at approximately the same time. They are already widely divergent morphologically, and are heavily armored. How did they originate? What allowed them to diverge so widely? How did they all come to have heavy armour? And why is there no trace of earlier, intermediate forms?38

The evolutionary scenario goes one step further and argues that fish, who evolved from invertebrates then transformed into amphibians. But this scenario also lacks evidence. There is not even a single fossil verifying that a half-fish/half-amphibian creature has ever existed. Robert L. Carroll, an evolutionary palaeontologist and authority on vertebrate palaeontology, is obliged to accept this. He has written in his classic work, Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution, that &quot;The early reptiles were very different from amphibians and their ancestors have not been found yet.&quot; In his newer book, Patterns and Processes of Vertebrate Evolution, published in 1997, he admits that &quot;The origin of the modern amphibian orders, (and) the transition between early tetrapods&quot; are &quot;still poorly known&quot; along with the origins of many other major groups.39 Two evolutionist paleontologists, Colbert and Morales, comment on the three basic classes of amphibians-frogs, salamanders, and caecilians:

There is no evidence of any Paleozoic amphibians combining the characteristics that would be expected in a single common ancestor. The oldest known frogs, salamanders, and caecilians are very similar to their living descendants.

Until about fifty years ago, evolutionists thought that such a creature indeed existed. This fish, called a coelacanth, which was estimated to be 410 million years of age, was put forward as a transitional form with a primitive lung, a developed brain, a digestive and a circulatory system ready to function on land, and even a primitive walking mechanism. These anatomical interpretations were accepted as undisputed truth among scientific circles until the end of the 1930&#039;s. The coelacanth was presented as a genuine transitional form that proved the evolutionary transition from water to land.

However on December 22, 1938, a very interesting discovery was made in the Indian Ocean. A living member of the coelacanth family, previously presented as a transitional form that had become extinct seventy million years ago, was caught! The discovery of a &quot;living&quot; prototype of the coelacanth undoubtedly gave evolutionists a severe shock. The evolutionist paleontologist J.L.B. Smith said that &quot;If I&#039;d met a dinosaur in the street I wouldn&#039;t have been more astonished&quot;.41 In the years to come, 200 coelacanths were caught many times in different parts of the world.

Living coelacanths revealed how far the evolutionists could go in making up their imaginary scenarios. Contrary to what had been claimed, coelacanths had neither a primitive lung nor a large brain. The organ that evolutionist researchers had proposed as a primitive lung turned out to be nothing but a lipid pouch.42 Furthermore, the coelacanth, which was introduced as &quot;a reptile candidate getting prepared to pass from sea to land&quot;, was in reality a fish that lived in the depths of the oceans and never approached nearer than 180 metres from the surface.</description>

		<description>FAITH IN THE CREATOR, IS THE ABSOLUTE AND ULTIMATE TRUTH

The eyes that you have is composed of so many different parts that work intricately in perfection so that you may see a wonderfully created world with lots of colors, tastes, scents, shapes, etc. Considering the details of this creation in macro and micro level, what would be the answers to the following?

- Would chance determine the colors of fruits

- Would coincidence decide which vitamin should take place in which vegetable

- Would accidents give the taste of the delicious banana or the strawberry

- Would chance have the aesthetic artistry to give beautiful colors to butterflies and wonderful patterns to tigers and zebras

- Would accidents place the kidneys, heart, liver, bones, glands, veins, in their right places

We all know that whether we call it accident - chance - coincidence,

it has no power. This false god has misled people into deception and caused them to spend their entire lives for nothing.

I hope the day has come that people think in total sincerity and with no prejudice to comprehend this very apparent truth - that God has created everything in this world.</description>

		<description>THE CLAIMS OF EVOLUTION THEORY ARE COMPLETELY AGAINST REASON AND LOGIC

According to the unscientific and irrational claim of the theory of evolution, the nothingness in the infinite universe gradually gave rise to mankind as a result of chance developments. According to this utterly unbelievable theory, first dust, then soil, stones, waters, mountains and oceans came spontaneously into being in this nothingness devoid of anything of the sort. Later, certain atoms in the mixtures of these came together by chance and brought into being such elements as calcium, phosphorus and carbon.

Over millions of years these lifeless elements, completely lacking in intellect, memory, knowledge and consciousness, turned into human beings able to breathe, speak, think, rejoice and mourn, possessed of a soul and memory, with the intelligence, knowledge and consciousness necessary to invent things, and capable of writing libraries full of books. In other words, under the effects of coincidence over billions of years, accumulations of dust, soil and mud turned into human beings of flesh, blood and soul, capable of building extraordinary factories and producing the latest model of cars in them, of establishing space stations, of constructing palaces, and making marvels of art.

To believe that stone and soil could one day turn into human beings as the result of chance is even more irrational and illogical than believing in fairy tales. Not even children would believe such a tale.</description>

		<description>FOSSÄ°LS REFUTE EVOLUTÄ°ON

The second most important evidence comes from the fosil record. If it is asserted that species evolved into one another by successive minute variations, and that this happened over billions of years, then evolutionists have to show us these slow, minute changes in the fossilized examples of those species. They must show us half-fish half-reptile, half-reptile half-mammal, half-reptile half-bird fossils. These imaginary species are called Transitional Forms. There is no doubt that if there is no such fossil record concerning changes among the fossils of stable species, then there is nothing left to discuss as regards to the theory of evolution.

If we consider the capacity of the fossil record, we see that we have millions of fossils in hand which belong to stable species. But the number of so-called transitional species must be much higher than that of the stable species we observe today. Trillions of transitional forms should be present in the fossil record linking these species to one another. That is because if there had been slow and fine gradations that had lasted for billions of years, then the number of stable species should have been smaller, and the number of transitional form fossils reflecting those variations should be much higher. Although there are more than 100 million fossils there is not a singleso-called transitional form.

The number of these transitional forms should have been even greater than that of present animal species, and their remains should be found all over the world. In The Origin of Species, Darwin accepted this fact and explained as such:

â€¦Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?â€¦ But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?â€¦

This fact is also admitted by the late evolutionist paleontologist of the 20th century Stephen Jay Gould:

The history of most fossil species include two features particularly inconsistent with gradualism:

1) Stasis - most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological change is usually limited and directionless;

2) Sudden appearance - in any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and &#039;fully formed&#039;. (S.J. Gould, &quot;Evolution&#039;s Erratic Pace&quot;, Natural History, vol. 86, May 1977.)

Briefly, it is obvious that life and the universe are created by God and it is proven by all the scientific evidence deriving from all the branches of science.</description>

<p>The second most important evidence comes from the fosil record. If it is asserted that species evolved into one another by successive minute variations, and that this happened over billions of years, then evolutionists have to show us these slow, minute changes in the fossilized examples of those species. They must show us half-fish half-reptile, half-reptile half-mammal, half-reptile half-bird fossils. These imaginary species are called Transitional Forms. There is no doubt that if there is no such fossil record concerning changes among the fossils of stable species, then there is nothing left to discuss as regards to the theory of evolution.</p>
<p>If we consider the capacity of the fossil record, we see that we have millions of fossils in hand which belong to stable species. But the number of so-called transitional species must be much higher than that of the stable species we observe today. Trillions of transitional forms should be present in the fossil record linking these species to one another. That is because if there had been slow and fine gradations that had lasted for billions of years, then the number of stable species should have been smaller, and the number of transitional form fossils reflecting those variations should be much higher. Although there are more than 100 million fossils there is not a singleso-called transitional form.</p>
<p>The number of these transitional forms should have been even greater than that of present animal species, and their remains should be found all over the world. In The Origin of Species, Darwin accepted this fact and explained as such:</p>
