“The Atlas of Creation” Panic in France,
the Cradle of Materialist Ideas

HARUN YAHYA

French thinkers offered the most perverted ideas against sacred matters and religious moral values, leading to movements of revolt and rebellion under the name of freedom. Highly influential French intellectuals such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Helvetius, Holbach, Auguste Comte, Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus played a major role in Europe’s slide towards materialism and the spread of atheism.

France is still one of those countries displaying the most evident hostility to faith in God. A large part of the French public is fully under socialist control, and has united against religious moral values as a result of misinformation and lack of education. France also lends open support to the continuing communist-separatist terrorism in Turkey. France is noteworthy for its hostile attitude with regard to the supposed Armenian genocide. In addition, it is highly significant that the center of world Freemasonry should be located in France.

The French greatly enjoy being praised for their philosophers, the perverted ideas with which they have indoctrinated the world, and their culture, which actually consist of nothing but empty deceptions. But today, they are experiencing a rude shock. The book entitled The Atlas of Creation has taken the notice of eminent figures, and all centers of education in France have sounded the alarm at the very highest level.

Until now, the French have dismissed all views opposed to their own twisted philosophies and failed to regard them as a threat. However, they have been astonished by The Atlas of Creation and literally entered a state of culture shock. The French Minister of Education issued a personal statement, ordering that the book be kept away from students. He had no compunction about stating that he regarded it as objectionable to the French people.

The subject was considered in fierce language in France’s major newspapers and magazines. Headlines using words suggestive of disaster and panic, such as “earthquake,” “assault” and “bombshell” appeared in publications like Le Figaro, L’Express, Le Monde and La Croix.

All these reactions reveal the effect the book has created in France, because it is an irrefutable demolition of Darwinism, leaving no room for any doubt.

The fact is, however, that the subject in question is a book and the ideas and documents it contains. If any response is to be given, it too needs to be supported by documents, and on the intellectual plane. Yet France, having come face to face with the clear and irrefutable fact of Creation for the first time, has suddenly abandoned the tradition of freedom of speech it has espoused for hundreds of years—all for the purpose of denying the existence of God and protecting materialist philosophy from collapse. The nation today has adopted an oppressive and prohibitive manner inherited from Nazi Germany. The French are expected to resort to the “final solution” of Nazi-style mass burning of the copies of this very book, which the minister has banned from schools!

This state of affairs, which shows the helplessness of those unable to respond intellectually, actually heralds the collapse of materialism. By the will of God, the 21st century will be a golden age for humanity when believers will intellectually eradicate all movements opposed to religious moral values.

According to research by the Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV), the number of people in Turkey saying that “God created man” stands at 87.4%. This provoked a major reaction in Europe, which is under intense materialist influences. The Turkish nation’s rejection of the theory of evolution by an overwhelming majority has become the subject of considerable surprise and concern. We hope that the Turkish nation will help the people of Europe see the truth and turn to religious moral values.

The Collapse of Darwinism Cannot Be Covered Up!

The theory of evolution is an unscientific claim that its adherents try to shore up by way of faked skulls, hoaxed “intermediate” fossils and endless speculation—but which has now exhausted its credibility.

Two basic discoveries made since Charles Darwin’s time refute his theory. These are:

1) The Fossil Record Disproves Evolution

In his book The Origin of Species, Darwin openly admitted that fossils did not support his theory! As he went on to say,

“Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined? . . . But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth? . . . Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory.” (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, 1st ed., p. 172.)

Over one hundred and fifty years have passed since Darwin’s day, but not a single fossil to support the theory of evolution has been found so far. On the contrary, every fossil discovered has been seen to be the remains of some complete and fully formed species. There are actually no intermediate fossils.

Fossils such as “Lucy’s Daughter,” “Gogonasus” and “Tiktaalik Roseae,” which have been reported in the press in recent months exhibit no intermediate features. Similarly, the fossil discovered in Sivas, Turkey, and described as a “three-toed horse,” was not the remains of any intermediate form either, but rather a normal quadruped which is today extinct. All fossils belong to complete and perfect plants and animals—a proven fact well known to paleontologists.

Evolutionists have not discovered even a single intermediate form fossil that they can present as evidence. Countless times, we have called on Turkish evolutionists to exhibit two or three intermediate fossils, if they have any, in their newspaper offices or headquarters. But none have agreed. The only reason for their lack of response to this open challenge is the absence of any intermediate-form fossils.

And this profound silence is not limited to Turkish evolutionists alone; no evolutionists anywhere in the world have any intermediate fossils. Some 100 million fossils have been unearthed to date. Many have been stored away in archives and others displayed to the public. Yet among all this large number of fossils, there is not one single intermediate form. They belong to either living species we are familiar with today—popularly referred to as “living fossils”—or else to extinct life forms such as dinosaurs and mammoths. Fossils are evidence for the Fact of Creation, not the claims of evolutionists.

Volunteer researchers have held fossil exhibitions in many cities in Turkey. The “living fossils” in these exhibitions, which provide solid evidence that living things have survived unchanged for millions of years, have provoked great unease and even anger in materialist circles. The more petrified once-living organisms they have been shown, the more these circles have been enraged and given vent to their anger.

Turkish evolutionists, on the other hand, have silently admitted their defeat in utter exhaustion and despair. Some poorly informed evolutionists who have only just learned of the vital importance of intermediate fossils have finally begun to grasp the insuperable difficulty they face, and are maintaining a profound silence.

2) Proteins—the Basis of Life —Cannot Form Themselves from Inanimate Matter

Proteins are highly complex molecules that constitute the building blocks of the living cell and also perform various functions within it. The chance of a protein forming itself by accident is 1 in 10950. (In practical terms, this probability is zero.) To claim that millions of living species came into being by chance, when not even a single protein can actually do so, is utter materialist-evolutionist fantasy.

Will a Stunned France and Local Evolutionists Resort to Mass, Nazi-Style Book Burnings?

Mass book-burning ceremonies, instigated by the leaders of Nazi Germany, is a primitive way of suppressing ideas and banning them from society. The first Nazi book-burning ceremony took place on 10 May, 1933, when thousands of copies of books incompatible with Nazi ideology were burned to the accompaniment of Nazi marches and salutes.

Those unable to respond to ideas with compelling ideas of their own have always resorted to the banning of books, coercing their readers and even going so far as to burn the books in question. The French today, lacking any intellectual response, are wondering what to do about The Atlas of Creation and, just like local evolutionists, they are looking for a means of eliminating the book from public view.

Will France’s final response be burn copies of The Atlas of Creation in front of the Eiffel Tower or Les Invalides. . .

The Major Work That Has Rocked France

The first volume of the projected seven-volume The Atlas of Creation, consisting of a total of 5,600 pages and some 11,000 illustrations, has stunned the French.

This 764-page giant work, unique in the world at 28 by 38 centimeters in size and printed with outstanding technical quality, illustrates hundreds of fossils, each of which refutes the theory of evolution and contains the most conclusive information regarding Darwinism’s collapse. With the original hologram images on its cover, some 1,500 full-color illustrations and photographs on glossy paper, the book is superb in its physical appearance. Moreover, with this substantial work comes the VCD documentary Fossils Have Discredited Evolution . . . You can purchase this book directly from Global Publishing, or read it free of charge over the Internet.
