Apparently some creationists are so eager to advance their agenda that they will use just about any materials they can get their hands on – including a video made by a controversial evangelist in Turkey who collects young woman followers and has been accused of being a Holocaust denier.
Recommended curriculum for 10th graders in Youngstown, Ohio, public schools includes a video called “Cambrian Fossils and the Creation of Species.” As detailed by sound science activist and Americans United ally Zack Kopplin, the video claims it has evidence that “totally invalidates the theory of evolution.” It then proceeds to put forth an old and unconvincing assertion that a rapid increase in the number of new species on Earth starting around 500 million years ago proves creationist accounts.
Kopplin noted that the video has minimal Islamic content despite its source. At the beginning of the presentation, a screen flashes momentarily that says “this film is based on the works of Harun Yahya.” A small gold bubble also appears that says, “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” in Arabic.
So who is Harun Yahya?....
