Atlas of Creation

When I arrived to my lab yesterday morning, I did my usual daily tasks which include a trip to the office to collect our packages and mail. When we were opening our boxes of primers and enzymes, we also had a package which had a VERY large book inside. The book was called, "The Atlas of Creation" and is written by a Turkish muslim by the penname Harun Yahya. Needless to say, my mentor and the rest of my lab had a great time flipping through this monstrocity and laughing. The pictures in the book are very nice glossy photographs which would dazzle most people. The take home message from the book is that fossils prove that things don't change over time and thus there must be a CREATOR. In addition, the guy sent a letter indicating that he was sending this book to select science labs, universities and high schools and would appreciate if we would reply with some comments. Here is his website:

They call this book, "a luxurious work" in the news video that plays on his homepage.

Luxurious indeed.
