Taking on Darwin in Turkey
Daniel Steinvorth - 09/23/2008
Fundamentalist Christians in America are not the only ones leading a crusade against Darwin. Creationism and “intelligent design” are becoming increasingly popular among Turkey’s Muslims, too.
The man who wants to save the world goes by the name of Harun Yahya and resembles an actor from the age of silent films. He wears a white silk suit, gold cufflinks and has a finely trimmed beard on his chin. “In 20 years,” he says in serious tone, “humanity will enter a golden age.”
Yahya says that he discovered these joyful tidings in the Bible and the Koran. He maintains that it is a “scientific fact” that Jesus and Mahdi, the Muslim messiah, will return to mankind to solve all global conflicts. Beforehand, however, he says that these two heavenly emissaries will have to tackle another challenge: They must eradicate the heresy of British naturalist Charles Darwin, who postulated that all life arose from a process of natural selection.

DANNY, boy …
You’re kidding right? Your tone is that Darwin is some sage whose name is synonymous with truth and wisdom.
Even a cursory glance at http://www.answersingenesis.com shows the sheer weakness of evolution; and a minor perusal of evolution shows that absurb theory to be without any basis. In fact, evolution is hilarious.
I love writers who lose arguments a mere few words into an article; they’re rare, but by jove, you’ve done it sir. Well done, sir!!!
Get this: all DNA mutuations — all of them — are a loss of information. You can’t mutate up. So there was never a primordial soup that gave way to one-celled things which then evolved into mankind.
Fossils by their very nature have to form quickly in catastrophic events like a global flood; it does not take eons; in fact it can’t. The remains would rot or be eaten by scavengers unless they’re encased very quickly.
That’s enough. Buy good whiskey.

I think the mutation that allowed us to digest lactose was pretty beneficial. It happened SEVERAL times (convergent evolution) and quickly got selected for in the population so its in pretty high frequencies in some areas.
That’s one example of a good mutation.
You don’t know much about biology, do you?
