Creationist Superfraud: Harun Yahya
Okay, let me start by mentioning that Harun Yahya's real name is Adnan Oktar a.k.a Adnan Hoca. He was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1956 and is the leading Muslim creationist in the world.His most well-known book is Evolution Deceit, a copy of which I own and it is mostly a rehashing of old creationist arguments with an Islamic tone added to them. Copies of his latest work, The Atlas of Creation were distributed to teachers and scientists in Europe and the United States.
Oktar is the head of the Foundation for Scientific Research (Bilim Arastirma Vakfi, or BAV) which originally adopted its arguments from young-earth creationist organizations in the United States, but discarded claims about a young Earth and a global flood which are not vouched for by the Qur'an or in Islamic tradition (the Sunnah). As such, BAV showed a degree of sympathy for "intelligent design" creationism instead, employing catchphrases like "irreducible complexity" and using the phrase "intelligent design" as equivalent with "creation." Later, however, Oktar denounced "intelligent design" as not being Islamic enough.
Oktar got his start as an author in 1986 by publishing Judaism and Freemasonry. After this, he was arrested and imprisoned, eventually being transferred to a mental hospital (I wonder why?) and was released after 19 months. Naturally, Oktar claims that the Freemasons were behind the whole thing.

Harun Yahya's writings are based on distortion of the Quranic text, and reflects a shallow (superficial) knowledge of science. This is harmless for the Quran and science experts, but misleading for the uninitiated.
