You may have read that somewhere, but that’s not what I’ve seen. Modern creationism was born in the anti-science movement in the U.S., and is not part of traditional Christianity, nor traditional Judaism, nor part of traditional Islam. Moslem scientists at one point led the world. That many Moslems now have forgotten that God-given tradition is a warning signal for Christians.

I well remember several years ago when the yahoos at ICR bragged about their missionary work to Turkey, carrying creationism. My recollection is that they said at the time they hoped to establish a toe-hold for Christianity.

Odd. Instead they fueld Islamic radicalism. By their fruits shall we know them.

Ed: Islam and Christianity share the identical Old Testament and Genesis stories. I’ve read (I forget where, or I’d link) that Young Earth Creationism started in Islamic fundamentalism, and then jumped over to Christian fundamentalism.

Your post about the story and the citations you provide are informative.

His extensive organization has the goal to persuade the world (or at least the schools therein) of the Truth of Young Earth Creationism, as revealed in the Bible.

Which is quite a problem, since he claims to be Moslem.

But at least you’re honest that he’s peddling fundamentalist stuff instead of Moslem stuff.

Are we supposed to blow his cover like that?

Creationism, if played well, is Big Business and Adnan wants his share.
Why should the (self-)righteous have to pay taxes? Now that would be ridiculous!
