			Now writing under the pen-name of HARUN YAHYA, he was born in Ankara in 1956. Having completed his primary and secondary education in Ankara, he studied arts at Istanbul's Mimar Sinan University and philosophy at Istanbul University. Since the 1980s, he has published many books on political, scientific, and faith-related issues. Harun Yahya is well-known as the author of important works disclosing the imposture of evolutionists, their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and communism.
	'''Adnan Oktar''' (also known as '''Adnan Hoca''') was born in ] in ] and lived there until he moved to ] in ]. He is one of the leading figures in Turkish ], and a fervent advocate of creationism in the ]. He is considered the leading ] advocate of creationism{{citation needed}}; unlike the majority of Christian creationists he subscribes to ]{{citation needed}}. He is an ] and ] which he sees as very interrelated movements. Although he rejects allegations of ], claiming ] and ] roots for anti-Semitism he is also credited as a ] , with his book ''Soykırım Yalanı'' (The Holocaust Hoax).
			His pen-name is a composite of the names Harun (Aaron) and Yahya (John), in memory of the two esteemed Prophets who fought against their people's lack of faith. The Prophet's seal on his books' covers is symbolic and is linked to their contents. It represents the Qur'an (the Final Scripture) and the Prophet Mohammed (May God bless him and grant him peace), last of the prophets. Under the guidance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah (teachings of the Prophet), the author makes it his purpose to disprove each fundamental tenet of godless ideologies and to have the "last word," so as to completely silence the objections raised against religion. He uses the seal of the final Prophet, who attained ultimate wisdom and moral perfection, as a sign of his intention to offer the last word.

			All of Harun Yahya's works share one single goal: to convey the Qur'an's message, encourage readers to consider basic faith-related issues such as God's existence and unity and the Hereafter; and to expose godless systems' feeble foundations and perverted ideologies.
	In ], he founded ''Bilim Araşırma Vakfı'' (Foundation for Scientific Research), through which he still effectively functions. His followers gathered around the Foundation are usually named as ''Adnan Hocacılar'' ("Adherents of Adnan the Hodja") by the public. He is seen as a protagonist of the so-called "Moderate Islam" current in ], since ''Adnan Hocacılar'' have never been engaged in direct conflict with the secularist Turkish Establishment. He preserves good relations with various nationalist and mainstream Islamist currents to the right of Turkish political spectrum, with references to ]. In ], he also founded ''Millî Değerleri Koruma Vakfı'' (Foundation for Protection of National Values). Reportedly, he has been suffering from the ] of ] since ]. ,
			Harun Yahya enjoys a wide readership in many countries, from India to America, England to Indonesia, Poland to Bosnia, and Spain to Brazil. Some of his books are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Urdu, Arabic, Albanian, Russian, Serbo-Croat (Bosnian), Polish, Malay, Uygur Turkish, and Indonesian.

Even if they continue to do so, it will be only a sentimental insistence, since these books refute such ideologies from their very foundations. All contemporary movements of denial are now ideologically defeated, thanks to the books written by Harun Yahya.

			Meanwhile, it would only be a waste of time and energy to propagate other books that create confusion in people's minds, lead them into ideological chaos, and that clearly have no strong and precise effects in removing the doubts in people's hearts, as also verified from previous experience. It is impossible for books devised to emphasize the author's literary power rather than the noble goal of saving people from loss of faith, to have such a great effect. Those who doubt this can readily see that the sole aim of Harun Yahya's books is to overcome disbelief and to disseminate the Qur'an's moral values.

Considering the state of the world today, leading into a downward spiral of violence, corruption and conflict, clearly this service must be provided speedily and effectively, or it may be too late.

Finally, he has written more than a hundred books describing the morals of the ] and faith related issues. Literally hundreds of books are credited to Oktar. Some claim therefore that others must have contributed to, or simply written, many of the books. This charge is adamantly denied on his web site; he claims sole authorship of all of the books.{{citation needed}}

	Oktar's books on faith-related topics attempt to communicate the existence and oneness of God according to the ] faith, and are written with the main purpose of introducing Islam to those who are strangers to religion. Each of his books on science-related topics stresses his views on the might, sublimity, and majesty of God in minute detail. These books attempt to display for non-Muslims what Oktar claims to be signs of the existence of God, and the excellence of his creation. A sub-group within this series are the series of "Books Demolishing the Lie of Evolution". The main purpose of these books is to attack the ideas of ], ], ], and ].

	He even attacks ] as being a false religion built upon idolatry and falsehood. His calls Buddhist rituals "meaningless" and "empty".

	The covers of all of Oktar's books bear the seal of the Prophet Muhammad. This seal is used on the Qur'an as an indication that the Qur'an is the last book and the last word of God, and the Prophet Muhammad is the last of His messengers. By taking this attribute of the Qur'an and the Prophet, Oktar claims that his books are the "last word" which will put a definite end to the arguments of his adversaries.

	However, this "last word" contains for the most ]s and ] arguments.{{fact}}

	For a simple example one can take a look in his on-line book: ''Fascism:The Bloody Ideology of Darwinism''

	In this book, Oktar claims a direct link from atheism to fascism, and tries to show this by a quote from ]. And thus Oktar writes:

	''As a result of tactics similar to those employed in other fascist countries, the Church in Spain supported Franco. However, as we have already seen, fascists only maintain this positive attitude towards religion until they are in power, after which they generally lose no time waging war against it. The same happened in ].

	''George Orwell describes the situation in revolutionary ] six months after the revolution:

	'''''Almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt. Churches here and there were being systematically demolished by gangs of workman.'''(George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia, p. 4)''


	However, George Orwell did not even hint to fascists in the original fragment:

	''Practically every building of any size had been seized by the workers and was draped with red flags or with the red and black flag of the ]; every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle and with the initials of the revolutionary parties; '''almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt. Churches here and there were being systematically demolished by gangs of workmen.''' Every shop and cafe had an inscription saying that it had been collectivized; even the bootblacks had been collectivized and their boxes painted red and black. Waiters and shop-walkers looked you in the face and treated you as an equal. Servile and even ceremonial forms of speech had temporarily disappeared. Nobody said 'Senior' or 'Don' or even 'Usted'; everyone called everyone else 'Comrade' and 'Thou', and said 'Salud!' instead of 'Buenos dias'.''
