Re: What did this have to do with what Muslims believe?

"This article told nothing about what Muslims believe in terms of evolution."

On the contrary, it says that only "25 percent of Turks accepted the theory of natural selection." It also describes how this fellow has a lot of influence. Clearly, many people in Turkey are opposed to science. They are inclined to believe the rants and ramblings of this particular crazy conspiracy theorist, because he also opposes science.

Since you have kindly let me pick:

It is a scientifically proven fact that evolution occurs.

Darwin's theory of natural selection explains evolution. It is a well-grounded theory, with no scientific rivals, just as there are presently no rivals to special relativity. No theory ever becomes a fact, just as no blueprint ever magically becomes a house.

Creationism is a fatuous lie based on religious fanaticism and ignorance.
