The 4 March, 2007, edition of the daily Svenska Dagbladet, published in Sweden, carried a report regarding the Atlas of Creation written by Adnan Oktar under the pen-name Harun Yahya. The report, by Carl-Johan Bilkenroth, described the Atlas as a “magnificent work that challenges Darwin.” It contained the following expressions:
“At a time when millions of e-mails can travel all over the world at a very low cost, a group of Islamic creationists have chosen the exact opposite method… They are now printing books and sending them to many scientists, writers and academic staff in Europe. One of the places to which this book has been sent is the Swedish daily Dagbladet…
This magnificent 768-page, colored, 5-kg book, proposes that the creatures in the fossil record never underwent evolution, that no species has changed at all over millions of years, and that Darwinism has therefore collapsed.”
