Harun Yahya challenges Dawkins to naked Jello wrestling match

Harun Yahya, aka ‘Adnan Oktar’, aka ‘Pillsbury Doughboy Crotch‘, aka ‘Tader Tot’ is the leader of Islamic Creationism. If you havent heard of him, you arent missing anything– Just replace ‘Jesus’ with ‘Mohammad’ in all of Discovery Institute/Answers in Genesis crap, and thats ‘Islamic Creationism’. Anyway, he thinks hes really important, like all Creationists, so hes challenged Richard Dawkins to a naked Jello wrestling match.

If Dawkins sincerely believes in this theory, we’d like to invite him to Turkey, or else we could come to UK to have a discussion.

Of course, Dawkins has no intention of debating Tader Tot, but Ill do it!

Common Tader! Come to Oklahoma! Creepy Old Islamic Creationist vs Adorable Evilutionist Atheist Jew in Christian Fundyland Oklahoma! We sell tickets, make lots of beer money, good times will be had by all! And since you will have to travel so far, you can choose the flavor of Jello!

Tader! Tader! Tader!

From what I remember, Harun Yahya basically just plagiarizes Kent Hovind. If one absolutely has to plagiarize someone, there are far better sources.

Get ‘em, ERV. However, since he invited Prof. Dawkins to Turkey, he probably can’t afford to go to the UK, much less OK. You might have to use part of the beer cash to reimburse him for his air fare.

Isn’t Yahya in prison? It seems to me that he wouldn’t be out yet.

I suspect that both men would receive some interesting offers if they’re jello-fighting in a Turkish prison yard.

Being from Turkey myself, I was a little surprised to see this here. I was never interested in Harun Yahya, he’s somehow known in Turkey, but he’s not really popular among people I know. He’s just…there… But I believe he’s intensely influential on some circles.

Anyway, I think people like him deserve some attention. Religion affects the society and unless religious leaders are shown to be wrong on critical issues like this, they’ll keep repeating what they “know” to be true. And this influences the public too of course. So I don’t know if it’s really the best solution to ignore the creationists. I think that was the main reason why the evolution/intelligent design discussion regarding schools in USA got so big; Scientists arrogantly kept ignoring the ‘stupid’ public. What’s science for, if not for the people? If not to inform the people?

Dear Sadun,

I agree completely with your observation. What I find most interesting about Harun and his fellow Turkish Islamic creationists is that they appear to be receiving funding from American creationist organizations, including the Discovery Institute.

John
#27 Sadun Kal
August 21, 2008

That’s interesting. I knew that he had some foreign connections, but what and why, I don’t really know…

Anyway, now I should reveal my real face I guess… What I mentioned above, about not ignoring creationists, is also valid about HIV “denialism”, actually even more valid with them. And yes; I’m a HIV skeptic! One of those “denialists”..!

(Ms. Smith knows a little more about how I ended up here. You might also get an idea if you click on my name.)

I’m currently trying to find people defending the HIV/AIDS ‘consensus’ to come together with “Rethinking AIDS” and especially “The Perth Group” to discuss the points which are still not clear. Preferrably a public debate, filmed on video and all that. I already attempted to send an email to IQ2US, but I doubt anything will come out of that. You think anyone here can help me with finding willing people for such a debate? I’m pretty sure that the other side is absolutely open for any sincere communication attempt.

So I’d really appreciate some help. Because until the mainstream scientists like you people really take their time to seriously debate the rethinkers, I will have to spend the rest of my life trying to fix this lack of communication…
After reviewing the Perth Group’s arguments, I don’t consider the science settled.
#28 Sadun Kal
August 21, 2008

By the way, to clarify; I don’t even know much about Horrowitz. In my opinion he can’t even be called a “denialist”. So I’m talking about different kind of “denialists”, I suppose many of you here are more familiar with Horrowitz than Eleni Papadopulos(Perth Group). But debating with Dr. Papadopulos can make your problems with Dr. Horrowitz also disappear, so it’s a better investition and therefore one more reason to help me. Thanks and sorry for offtopic…

#31 John Kwok

HI Sadun Kal,

Hate to disappoint you but HIV/AIDS epidemiology is as well established as the modern theory of evolution. If you have objections, then I suggest you should raise them with Abbie, but I am certain she’d regard your HIV/AIDS denial position as one that is quite risible.

Respectfully yours,

John
#32 Sadun Kal
August 21, 2008

It wasn’t completely unrelated, the connection is obviously there and it wasn’t planned from the beginning to be redirected to HIV/AIDS, if you can believe that. Also, I think my request was prefectly plausible. I suggest that you people really observe your reactions to my request, is that really how you want to treat someone with unanswered questions? By ridiculing? How is that science?

John’s reaction was obviously more mature by the way, and I thank him for that. I contacted Abbie yesterday, either she’s reading the stuff I wrote or…something else, I don’t know. And you’re all welcome to read them and leave comments too, just click on my name. Please don’t write anything before you read it all, otherwise it’s likely to be a waste of time.

I’ve been examining this debate for months now, and I always found the scientific arguments against the Perth Group to be too weak. (Ad hominems are always pretty strong though.) So unless I can get a satisfying, scientific argument from the mainstream scientific community, I’ll keep supporting the rethinkers right to speak and get funding for experiments and I’ll keep encouraging the consensus defenders to debate.

-If we keep talking about this here, it’ll really become completely unrelated to the topic, so you’re welcome to continue this on my blog if you wish, but please, really read before you write anything. Thank you.-

Dear Sadun,

I see my new “buddy” DaveScot Springer is baffled by the evolutionary connotations with respect to recently published research on ERVs:

#37 Sadun Kal
August 22, 2008

Dear John,

Well then, I guess you can interpret my confusion as a not so subtle hint that I disagree with you on that.

I also would like to remind that spending time with AIDS denialists should be more beneficial for you than spending time with evolution denialists, since -allegedly- AIDS denialism costs millions of lives in comparison to innocent evolution denialism. My invitation still stands if you want to answer any questions. Because as I said, I was never able to come across any satisfying argument against the Perth Group’s… You can easily read them for yourself if you were to go to the bottom of my blog post, which you can reach by clicking on my name.

Otherwise I’ll have to keep taking lives, do you really want that?

#41 Sadun Kal

Justin,

As I said, I did a lot of research and never could come across anything that makes the arguments of the Perth Group wrong or insignificant. And I don’t get what makes you think that it’s semantic, they argue very strongly about particular complications. It has directly to do with the reality.

That there is no debate is because of over-confident mainstream scientists, who rather don’t “waste” their time debating. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the science is settled, it just shows that the scientists are, which is never a good sign…

Now that Abbie has spoken, I strongly suggest you depart immediately unless you wish to continue looking as foolish as you most certainly are in your espousal of HIV/AIDS denial. As I warned you before, the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS is well established.

Run along now and play with Dustin. I think he’s lonely and desirous of company.

Both are not my threads. I clearly invited people to keep discussing this on my blog(#32), but people chose to respond here. Since you didn’t get angry at others keep talking about this subject here, I hoped you wouldn’t have any bias against me to keep talking here either.

If anyone wants to continue this, then please continue on my blog. If you don’t want to continue, then please stop. If people keep responding to me here, then I’ll keep responding to them here, too. But I hope that won’t be the case, for Abbie’s health…

Best regards,

P.S. Searching for “Perth” or “Eleni” or “Valendar” return no results, that’s what I’m looking for, and that’s why I asked for help. I don’t care about Horrowitz or Dustin, just science…

Stupid arrogant fuck– There are ~50 hits for ‘Perth’ ‘HIV’ on SciBlogs. Are you new to The Internet?

And if you want to ‘discuss’ The Science(TM), then this is your thread. Im sure a film student who has read about HIV on the internet will have no trouble describing that image to everyone. I mean, our summer undergrad could. If you couldnt explain a babys experiment, you would be a little bitch, right?

Your next post on my blog will describe that image. Ready? Set? GO!

Have at thee!!
#47 Sadun Kal
August 23, 2008

Alright, we’ll continue then.

I meant ‘no results’ specifically for your blog. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. But nevertheless, I still couldn’t find what I’m looking for: Something that proves the Perth Group’s arguments wrong/meaningless, could be my incompetence though.

I can assure you that I have almost no idea what that picture is supposed to mean, but I never claimed to know anything like that anyway. That’s why I contacted you in the first place; to get help. I’m just trying to understand this thing with help from scientists. I’m only the communicator, trying to get you scientists together to clarify the seemingly vague issues.

So I’d be glad if you could tell me if and how that picture disproves the Perth Group’s arguments. Or if that picture doesn’t really have much to do with it as I suspect, I’d appreciate if you could present me an information which achieves that from your point of view. After we can find a satisfactory argument, the next step would be to ask the Perth Group and others what they think about it. I think we can make some progress that way, and that’s possibly the only way…

Or you can get rid of “the messenger” and contact the Perth Group(or Rethinking AIDS) directly. They are pretty decent people as far as I know. As long as you can slightly limit your amount of disrespect or at least hide it a little, you should be able to get a clear answer in a few weeks. (Although they didn’t answer my last email, I suspect the reason for that was because the answers to my questions were available elsewhere. Or maybe they’re simply too busy nowadays.)

What do you think?

Last, but not least, jerk off….. thanks for demonstrating that you and Sadun deserve each other (Though now that I think of it, even though I detest Sadun’s understanding of HIV/AIDS, at least he knows how to act in a responsible adult manner.).

Harun Yahya is a very important author. His intellectual struggle against materialism and darwinism has a great impact around the world. The “Atlas of Creation” has been delivered to all the important people and the professors of the world. In the “Atlas of Creation” there are photograps of hundreds of fossils that proove that they have no difference with their present status. Harun Yahya also put forward the evolution deceit and how the world had been fooled with the lie of evolutin. Harun Yahya also prooved by the words of world leaders, tyrants that darwinism is the cause of all the world wars, disasters, racism, cruelty, starvations. Everyone must know that 60 million people had died in the world war. And there are still people who are oppressed. Evolution is a big lie that has not even one scientific proof.
