…to a new generation of Creationists:

This demonstrates one indisputable fact: Living things did not come into being through the imaginary processes of evolution. All the living things that have ever existed on Earth were created by God. This fact of creation is once again revealed in the traces left behind them by flawless living things.

The Discovery Institute, right? Or perhaps Mike Huckabee? Or Ron Paul on a bad day? No, actually: that quote is from the world’s best-dressed Creationist, Harun Yahya, a.k.a. Adnan Oktar, Turkish-Moslem author of the Atlas of Creation.

Here’s my prediction: As biological literacy spreads in the U.S. and genomics begins delivering obvious and useful results, anti-evolution fervor will weaken and fade in this country. The kind of folk who are inclined to it will migrate en masse to neuroscience and “Consciousness Studies,” where the problems are real, and the pickings (for them) much richer. The old Creationist torch will pass to Muslims, with Harun Yahya as their William Jennings Bryan — though in a much sharper suit.
