On November 17, 2009, The Times, one of Britain’s best-known dailies, carried a report titled "Muslim academics and students are turning against Darwin's theory" on its web site. The report went on to discuss the impact of web sites describing Creation and referred to Harun Yahya as the only figure in the Islamic world to be engaged in anti-Darwinist activities:

Muslims in many countries ARE INCREASINGLY REJECTING DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION… a science conference was told yesterday.

Dr Guessoum, who is a Sunni Muslim… “THE RATE OF ACCEPTANCE OF EVOLUTION AND OF THE IDEA OF TEACHING EVOLUTION WAS EXTREMELY LOW,” he said. “I wondered, who are all these educated people rejecting evolution? THEY ARE EVEN REJECTING THE FACT THAT IT SHOULD BE TAUGHT AS SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE.”

Last year a Muslim creationist … ADNAN OKTAR … OFFERED £4.4 TRILLION TO ANYONE WHO CAN POINT TO A SINGLE FOSSIL THAT PROVES EVOLUTION.
