Evolution Criticism Gets Nod from Kansas School Board

Now you're reeeeeally losing it.

You think so?

Well, let's look at the facts, shall we? The organization innocuously called the 'Science Research Foundation' has, on its web page, a collection of glowing quotes from American creationists such as Gish, Morris, Menton et al.. Why do these luminaries know so much about the 'Science Research Foundation'? Why, because the Science Research Foundation asked them all to Turkey to attend a conference on how to stamp out teaching of evolution in Turkish universities, and replace it with an Islamic theory of origins. And who are the Science Research Foundation? Well, in Turkish they're know as BAV, and they're the brainchild of Adnan Oktar, a.k.a Harun Yahya, a prolific writer who, when he's not translating creationist Morris into Turkish (with Morris's full approval) is blaming the theory of evolution on Masons and Jews, and claiming the Holocaust was a hoax . And, in fact, even while it was wining and dining famous American creationists, BAV was using direct intimidation to try to stop the teaching of evolution in Turkish Universities.

BTW,as I'm sure most FReepers know, Turkey has historically been one of the few secular Islamic countries, and the rise of Islamism in Turkey, a movement spearheaded by BAV, is a major threat to US foreign policy in the mideast. But of course, Morris and the other American creationists must surely know that; if they bothered to check their ally's web site, they would find out that the US liberation of Iraq was devised by Israeli strategists.

And finally, of course, the Kansas Board of Education just this year invited the big cheese, Harun Yahya himself, to testify in favor of their new 'ID' science standards.

Nice crowd y'all are running with.
