Hi Andya,
Is Harun Yahya connected in some way to the American creationsist movement or did he come up with his objections independently? I thought he based his objections on the Koran and not the bible. In any case, while he may find a receptive audience among the scientifically uneducated and easily manipulated creationist movement I think his chances in Turkey are rather poor in the long run. Turkey is pushing to join the EU. Though Turkey will remain a sovereign country within the EU, there will be strong pressure to bring the education system up to the European standard and that includes a scientific training beyond almost anything you see in the US and does NOT include teaching mythology in the science classroom....as for some parts of the US (Georgia and Kansas come to mind)...the kids will grow up believing the X-files are real, alchemy is an accepted science, the earth is flat, Elvis is an alien and is alive, the Flinstones really existed, creationism, and all sorts of other superstitious nonsense
cheers,
Mammuthus

See for yourself. See what American creationists imported abroad. I hope some of you can take a look and write a report about it!
