I think your last post brought up very good and important points though in which neither religion nor science should be used to explain each other. It only muddles thing further! It is being theorized that we are living in a holographic universe. Something to ponder is if even science is an absolute truth.

I posted what was reported. On a 'Masonic conspiracy', well, that's been debunked (again and again) over the past few hundred years, so if he's still believing it exists in order to 'smash' it... On Darwinism, he hasn't a clue what it says. He repeats the canards of the American Creationist movement and gives them an Islamic topspin. Nothing new there; nothing creditable there, either.

This interview by Arab News was a very successful, putting forward his views on various topics like peace in the Middle East, solutions to economic crisis, peace and brotherhood among all Muslims as well as the People of the Book etc. The court case in Turkey, by the way I am living in Ankara for a certain period of time, is highly questionable due to the fact that there is no evidence of any crime in the court case. They have been acquitted for several times by local courts, but now there are efforts to bring about a twisted verdict by the court to put these intellectuals in prison. I wonder who will benefit from imprisoning 3 young women, with no past convictions also Adnan Oktar with his efforts for Islam and peace. Surely, he has smashed down Darwinism and the Masonic conspiracy hand in hand with the evil. Let us see what happens but surely, their faith in God will prevail with more enthusiasm and zeal.

Two different realms whose standards of proof vary considerably. One relies on faith; the other on reason. Faith is not the way to deal with issues of science, just as science isn't the proper tool to discuss religion. Luckily, science doesn't depend on popularity or admiration, either. Many people admired the clerics (Muslim and non-Muslim) who believed that the earth was the center of the universe. That did not make it true, however.

Harun Yahya is a follower of the Ahl al-Sunnah, so there's nothing controversial about him. What you are referring to is just the false accusations and lies made up about him and his organization by certain circles. There are no such tapes, for example. Nor are there any piece of evidence showing that he threatened anyone. The verdict of the court is controversial. Still he loves his country and respects the legal system. And in each and every occasion he openly states that, though he will take his legal measures, he respects the court's decision no matter what. And he is admired by a great many Muslims and non-Muslims, here in Turkey as well as around the world. I’m writing from Turkey.
