Sex, flies and videotape: the secret lives of Harun Yahya | New Humanist
Show all
"Inspired by the high profile of its Christian American counterpart, Muslim creationism is becoming increasingly visible and confident. On scores of websites and in dozens of books with titles like The Evolution Deceit and The Dark Face of Darwinism, a new and well-funded version of evolution-denialism, carefully calibrated to exploit the current fashion for religiously inspired attacks on scientific orthodoxy and “militant” atheism, seems to have found its voice. In a recent interview with The Times Richard Dawkins himself recognises the impact of this new phenomenon: “There has been a sharp upturn in hostility to teaching evolution in the classroom and it’s mostly coming from Islamic students.” The patron saint of this new movement, the ubiquitous “expert” cited and referenced by those eager to demonstrate the superiority of “Koranic science” over “the evolution lie”, is the larger-than-life figure of Harun Yahya." - Eivind from Bookmarklet
"Yahya has publicly offered a lucrative prize for anyone who can produce a “transitional fossil” – the lack of which he claims proves evolution to be false. When Dawkins publicly lampooned the research in the Atlas of Creation (he pointed out that one of the photos of a Caddis Fly was in fact a fishing fly, complete with metal hook, stolen from the internet, pictured), and labelled... more... - Eivind
"Sensing another opportunity immediately after 9/11, Oktar instantly shed his formerly virulent anti-Semitism and published a piece called “Islam condemns terror”, designed, apparently, to curry favour with America. Oktar’s group already had established good relations with US congressmen in 2000, when his Science Research Foundation received the endorsement of seven members of Congress... more... - Eivind
"Since then Oktar has become an ardent proponent of interfaith dialogue, attempting to unify believers of all stripes against the corrupting influence of Darwinism, which he now holds responsible for Fascism, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. Most recently, he has been talking about the “Turkish-Islamic Union”, which would bring peace to the entire Muslim world under the leadership of Turkey." - Eivind
What a fraud - Edward Zwart
Turns out this guy is the reason I couldn't access certain websites when I was in Istanbul this summer. - Eivind
I guess not. Is he responsible for the Youtube ban (I know he blocked richarddawkins.net)? - Eivind
It was mentioned in the article, but they suspected he pleaded insanity to avoid military service and some criminal charges. - Eivind
Update: the fake fly picture was used on purpose :D http://scienceblogs.com/pharyng... - Eivind

Well, you know quite much about him :) up! - Beste Arfin Kiriloğlu
when I was an student our biology teacher asked us to present lectures about evolution theory and Quran. someone summarized her lecture as: Quran confirms evolution, another student had an opposite idea. in my lecture I said if you are an evolutionist and a Muslim at the same time naturally you would try to make interpretation of holy verses in accordance with your idea about evolution.... more... - Café ✓

Facebook + Twitter + FriendFeed + G+ = Social media brain overload. Shutdown imminent.
I'm just waiting for G+ to unleash some kind of scandal, fail under load, or be caught eating barbequed babies. Then everyone will come back here. - Le Slip Anglais

How's Friendfeed these days? Still thriving? Haven't been here much since the brain grab. I'm curious, what's Friendfeed (still) better at than Facebook?
(that's an honest question, I don't mean "what do you hate about FB?" :)) - Edward Zwart
Rapid replies, more like a real conversation. - Jack&Cleo
A feeling of community - Ian May
Still the absolute best at content filtering/curation and generating real conversation. While the FriendFeed team has helped make Facebook better, it still pivots around people instead of content, doesn't fully leverage FoaF and hasn't matched the near synchronous conversations that take place on FriendFeed. - AJ Kohn
Thanks people. Content-centered vs people-centered... My mind wandered to the two sites' names "FB" = face (of a person) but FF = "friend" which is still a person... I don't have a point about that, lol... - Edward Zwart
I'm not saying that this isn't social but the vector - primarily because of the heavy use of FoaF - is to leverage the social connections to deliver relevant content. This allows you to see much more content in the universe without friending everyone in creation. I don't need to follow someone to see the best of their stuff as long as one of *my* filters .... er friends ... comments or... more... - AJ Kohn
Facebook seems very clunky to me - ugly, full of ads, full of BORING vapid conversations. - iTad
Yes, FF brings me the best conversations and all the main news I need. If something happens in somewhere I usually find out about it here first. Henry brought me this conversation, for a start. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
FriendFeed isn't cluttered with stupid crap like "join this group if you think blue M&Ms are the best candy ever". - Rochelle
And no one here asks me for a plank of wood for their fence on their damned farm. - iTad
I remember FF providing me with far better quality news than FB, but I think FB has caught up a lot in that regard. I think the better conversation has a few explanations. FB tends to be more like Thanksgiving Dinner (which is delicious but the conversation usually sucks). Also, FF is a much more technical/professional crowd... - Edward Zwart
I just like FF better. - VALZ/TEAM TRAVIS
I don't use Facebook, but welcome back! :) - Eivind
Thanks good to be back! Now, to not let it turn into the time-sink it once was... .:) - Edward Zwart
I mostly talk to strangers on FriendFeed (despite its name) and friends on FaceBook. Strangers tend to have more interesting tales to tell. - Amit Patel
@Amit: +1 on an astute observation. Also ... are you the "Google" Amit Patel? - AJ Kohn
Edward, most of the technical crowd left a long time ago. - Jeff P. Henderson
I find FF to be a better sharing platform than Facebook. Facebook makes it so easy to be self-centered, or it caters to the self-centeredness. But I left a detailed answer to a similar question on Quora a while ago. http://www.quora.com/FriendF... - Andy Bakun
Friendfeed blows away Facebook and Twitter. I'm not sure why the rest of the world doesn't get this. - Sean McBride
I can't help I don't use FB or twitter but I like FF still. - SteVe C
Jeff -- which social media platform do the world's best tech brains now prefer? - Sean McBride
Anyone: which conversational platform is superior to Friendfeed and why? I haven't discovered one. - Sean McBride

CHRISTIANS in Sydney will have their core beliefs challenged by provocative advertisements due to appear on billboards and buses in the next month. The ads, paid for by an Islamic group called MyPeace, will carry slogans such as ''Jesus: a prophet of Islam'', ''Holy Quran: the final testament'' and ''Muhammad: mercy to mankind''. A phone number urges people to call to receive a free Koran and other Islamic literature. The organiser of MyPeace, Diaa Mohamed, said the campaign was intended to educate non-Muslims about Islam. He said Jesus was a prophet of Islam, who was to come before Muhammad. ''The only difference is we say he was a prophet of God, and they say he is God,'' Mr Mohamed said. ''Is it thought-provoking? Yes, it is. We want to raise awareness that Islam believes in Jesus Christ,'' he said. Mr Mohamed said he hoped the billboards would encourage Christians and Muslims to find common ground. They were not intended to downgrade the significance of Jesus. ''We embrace him and say that he was one of the mightiest prophets of God." - #cryptic from FFHound(roid)!
The Anglican Bishop of South Sydney, Rob Forsyth, said it was ''complete nonsense'' to say Jesus was a prophet of Islam. ''Jesus was not the prophet of a religion that came into being 600 years later.'' But the billboard was not offensive, he said. ''They've got a perfect right to say it, and I would defend their right to say it [but] … you couldn't run a Christian billboard in Saudi... more... - #cryptic from FFHound(roid)!
"Mr Mohamed said he hoped the billboards would encourage Christians and Muslims to find common ground." I'm thinking this one is not a great idea, then: ''Holy Quran: the final testament'' - Eivind
Also, I'm so fucking sick of this non-argument: "… you couldn't run a Christian billboard in Saudi Arabia.'' - Eivind
Which has nothing to do with the punishments and freedoms of where this is being done. That is why it is a non-argument. It doesn't argue the case at hand. - Michael W. May
I know it''s a true statement. It's still a non-argument. "Saudia Arabia don't allow Christian propaganda so maybe [insert western country] shouldn't allow Islamic propaganda." - Eivind
I know. It just doesn't have anything to do with this case. - Eivind

Straw man. The argument against evolution is not that a sum of small changes does not equal a large change (that is a semantic/logical statement), but rather an argument against the claim that biological organisms contain the potential to change into entirely different species. - Kevin L
How about changing into slightly different species? - Eivind
What does "containing potential" mean? If a species changes a little, and then changes a little more, ad infinitum, how is NOT a new species? At that point, it's just a quibble on the word "species". - Edward Zwart

Kiva's concept is brilliant and powerful. It's basically on the road to solving world poverty, and all you have to do is loan your spare change. What strikes me most about the idea is just how scalable it can be. The site spent its early efforts getting all the financial stuff right (good plan!), and now I'm looking forward to some improvements to its social features. The good things about the design are its simplicity and ease of navigation. The main bad thing is the lending group email discussion forum software (look under the Community tab).

If I Hadn't Found Jesus, I'd Feel Pretty Shitty About My Crimes
"The first few months behind bars were the worst of my life. Every night I'd stare into the darkness, waiting for the nightmares, waiting to hear those horrible screams all over again. Even here behind these thick penitentiary walls, there was no hiding from what I'd done to that poor family. Then, one night, it happened: I lay alone in my cell, my only companion the visions of wickedness that filled my head. Suddenly, there was a light, and somehow the light spoke to me. It was the voice of Jesus Christ. He told me he had died for the sins of mankind and all could find peace through his salvation. Was I ready to repent? Uh, let me think about that for a sec. Yup! It was a stroke of unbelievable luck. Here I thought I'd spend the rest of my life agonizing over that night I broke into a random house and methodically tortured all five of its residents, but Jesus was like, "Nah, you're good."
