Sorry for the complacency. Maybe the threat will seem more immediate when I can actually get one of those stations.

Re: papers
Hi Andya!
I'm curious how the perceived threat manifests itself in your part of the world. Let me explain my question by explaining how I perceive the threat of Christian Creationism in the US.
I have no objection to or significant concerns about Creationists promoting Creationism in churches, in conferences, in journals, in magazines, news articles, etc. In other words, it's a free country and they can say and do as they like. My fears are only aroused when Creationists attempt to force their views into secular life or scientific venues through non-legitimate means. Here in the US this manifests itself in several ways:
  • Introducing legislation, almost always at the state level, that in some way requires or encourages the teaching of Creationism and/or restricts or limits the teaching of evolution in the public schools.
  • Influencing schools boards at the state and local levels to either include Creationism in the public school curriculum and/or to limit exposure to evolution.
  • Influencing text book publishers to limit discussions of evolution.
These kinds of activities concern me a lot and are my prime motivating factor for becoming involved in the debate. What kinds of activities do the Harun Yahya people engage in that concerns you?
