Oktar published volume 1 of The Atlas of Creation with Global Publishing, Istanbul, Turkey in October 2006, 1 volumes 2 and 3 followed in 2007, and volume 4 in 2012.

The Turkish original was translated into English, German, Chinese, French, Dutch, Italian, Urdu, Hindi and Russian.

The book was widely panned by reviewers for its inaccuracy, unauthorized use of copyrighted photographs, and intellectual dishonesty.

The book shows pictures of million-year-old fossils and pictures of modern-day animals that are claimed to be their modern equivalent.

Thus, the book suggests that living things are exactly the same today as they were hundreds of millions of years ago.

He concludes: I am at a loss to reconcile the expensive and glossy production values of this book with the breathtaking inanity of the content.

Is it really inanity, or is it just plain laziness or perhaps cynical awareness of the ignorance and stupidity of the target audience mostly Muslim creationists.

However, the pseudo-scientific method he uses in his work The Atlas of Creation cannot in any way be considered scientific.

The author tries to prove the non-scientific nature of the theory of evolution by taking and challenging the evidence of evolution.

Moreover, as he only compares photographs of fossils to photographs of current species he provides no scientific proof for these statements.

Even better,., on page 60 of this work we see a superb photograph of a fossil of a perch with a claim in the caption that this fish has not evolved over millions of years.

That, however, is wrong: a detailed study of the fossil and perches living today shows that, on the contrary, they have evolved a great deal.

Unfortunately, Yahyas book is full of this type of falsehood.

None of the arguments in this work are based on any scientific evidence, and the book appears more like a primitive theological treatise than the scientific refutation of the theory of evolution.

It may be noted that Yahya says he has the support of major scientists.

They would also have to be specialists in the biology of evolution.

By only presenting facts without any theory or proof, Harun Yahya abuses the credulity of individuals who listen to him or read his works.

Moreover, as Jacques Arnoult emphasises, the BAV and Harun Yahya in Turkey, just like the American Institute for Creation Research, resort to partial, indeed erroneous, references to develop their creationist arguments.

The authors do not hesitate to quote magazine articles that defend evolution but they succeed in turning the meaning round by shortening the quotations.

This is nothing less than intellectual dishonesty, which is particularly harmful.
