Be Cautious About the Atheist Revolt in the EU!
The Council of Europe will debate whether Creationism should be allowed to be taught in schools. A recent report drawn up by French Socialists for the Committee on Culture, Science and Education stated that teaching of Creationism should be banned. This remark, reminding of the medieval suppressive mentality, is in fact a reflection of the panic materialists and atheists feel.
As we know, theory of evolution has again become a matter of debate in Europe after its receipt of Atlas of Creation by Harun Yahya in the last few months. The book, revealing the invalidity of evolution with concrete evidence, caused deep worries in materialist circles.
These circles, aware of the fact that irreligiousness and materialism will also collapse as the invalidity of Darwinism is recognized, are now trying with all their might not to let Creationism enter Europe. Indeed, such remarks along the lines “they are attacking the culture that we have patiently built up over many years” throughout the report are clear indication of their worry and desire to protect the materialist culture in Europe.
However, ideas cannot be prevented by prohibitions. The attempts of pro-evolution circles to ban all ideas but theirs by no means accord with the fundamental values of the Council. Both Creation and evolution should be taught in Europe, claiming to be the cradle of respect for human rights, democracy and thinking; individuals should be able to take free decisions of their own mind, reasoning and judgment, and seek the truth themselves. It’s not reasonable for someone to impose “The truth is evolution, you are not allowed to read or think about any other.”
You, too, can react to this restrictive mind-set and express your way of thinking. You can reach members of the Council of Europe at

Regarding the resolution on “teaching creationism in education,” which will be put to a vote on June 26, we ask you to make a decision respecting democracy and human rights.
Thinking along the lines “under no circumstances may Creationism be taught” is nothing but the manifestation of a repressive mentality. What is compatible with democracy and human rights, however, is to let both evolution and Creation be taught, and let people decide, of their own free will, what is right. It is a medieval attitude for governments to forcibly dictate to their people what is right. Some circles seem to be determined to take Europe back to the Middle Age, for the sake of their ideologies. We kindly ask you not to be duped into this error.
