Further to the demise of memes thread; here's a bit of practical stuff -
science's fine-tuned memeplex versus the worst in shamanic smoke and
mirrors. Tally Ho!

Dear Sir,
I am writing to you from Istanbul, Turkey on behalf of the Philosophy
Dept.
students at Istanbul University. Our purpose in contacting you is asking
for
your kind help. Please let us briefly explain you the challenging
situation
we are facing in Turkey regarding the book ?Evolution Deceit? published
by
Harun Yahya.
The writer Harun Yahya has released more than 140 books and he is known
by
his serious attacks against the evolution theory. He is trying to make
use
of science against Evolution. He is trying to shoot us with our weapon.
During the last year, we tried to determine the scientific mistakes in
his
book. We organized conferences in order to avoid youth suffering from
his
non-scientific and unfortunate believes in creation. His strength and
capability of playing with words in the name of science even confuse us
sometimes, we should regretfully confess. We will certainly be grateful
if
you can support us with your experience and proficiency in the area. We
want
to make benefit of your comments in our conferences, and other studies.
You may find the original text of the book at:
http://harunyahya.com/Eng/EvolDec/e1.html
We?ll be looking forward to receive your invaluable support in our
challenging situation in Turkey. We?ll be grateful to receive your
comments
and critiques regarding his book ?Evolution Deceit.?
With the hope of hearing from you in the shortest period of time.
Yours truly,
Kemal Tahir
