supporters from thinking
Darwinists' main aim is to prevent their supporters from thinking, be-cause any person of conscience would take very little time to realize how much evidence points towards the theory being invalid. So, making use of every means at their disposal, they bombard their followers with propa-ganda, leaving them no time to think for themselves. They use

ments, movies, music videos, song lyrics, cartoons, books, articles and any-thing else they can find to perpetuate the spell’s effect. Their purpose is to have people memorize a few words and catchy phrases and become famil-iar with images. They occupy our every moment with imaginary transitions from apes to human beings, fossil images and reconstructions of primitive man. Newspapers and magazines belabor the subject—whether in passing or comprehensively, with a single word or entire text—to ensure that all is in order not to break the spell.
Evolutionists know perfectly well that doubting their theory leads to religion and the acceptance of Creation. Therefore, they try to perpetuate the spell in daily conversation, which is the reason behind all their anti-reli-gious anecdotes, conversations, caricatures and writings. The motive be-hind their anti-religious humor and almost insulting comments is to dis-suade individuals from the slightest tendency toward religion and to de-stroy all doubts that arise in their minds about the origins of life.
The evolutionist design to forestall people from thinking can be illus-trated by a recent occurrence in 1999, when our book entitled The Evolution

Deceit was distributed in all parts of Turkey. Readers saw all the facts prov-ing that the idea of evolution was full of deceptions. This created an at-mosphere of panic among Turkey’s evolutionist and materialist circles; they were threatened that The Evolution Deceit was informing people about their theory’s scientific invalidity. What upset them most was the chapter enti-tled "The Secret Beyond Matter," which demolished the materialists’ philo-sophical idea that everything is composed of matter.
The person who expressed most clearly the worry and panic experi-enced in Turkey’s evolutionist-materialist circles was Rennan Pekunlu, a lecturer and writer for Bilim Utopya (Science Utopia), a journal whose man-date is to promote materialism. Both in articles for the journal and in com-ments on a number of panel discussions, Pekunlu indicated that The Evolution Deceit was a major threat. Beside the chapters debunking Darwinism, what worried him most was the section entitled "The Secret Beyond Matter." Pekunlu sent a message to his readers and to his few lis-teners telling them not to be taken in by these ideas and to remain loyal to materialism. For his thesis, he found support in Vladimir I. Lenin and

vised everyone to read Materialism and Empirio-Criticism, the book Russia’s bloody communist leader wrote a century earlier. But the only thing Pekunlu managed to accomplish was to repeat Lenin’s warning to his read-ers not to think about this subject, or they would be carried away by reli-gion. In his article, Pekunlu quoted these words of Lenin’s:
Once you deny the objective reality [that is] given us in sensation, you have al-ready lost every weapon against fideism [reliance on faith alone], for you have slipped into agnosticism or subjectivism—and that is all that fideism requires.
A single claw ensnared, and the bird is lost. And our Machists [an adherent of Machism, a modern positivist philosophy], have all become ensnared in ide-alism, that is, in a diluted, subtle fideism; They became ensnared from the mo-ment they took "sensation" not as an image of the external world, but as a spe-cial "element." It is nobody’s sensation, nobody’s mind, nobody’s spirit, no-body’s will.49
These words reveal that the reality—which Lenin himself feared and wanted to erase from his mind as well as his comrades’—is the same thing that worries evolutionist-materialists today. But Pekunlu and other materi-alists have much more to worry
about than did Lenin: Compared to a hundred years ago, the truth has become clearer, stronger and more definite. For the first time in history, this truth is being dis-cussed in a very challenging way—posing a great danger for the Darwinist spell that material-ists have taken such pains to perpet-uate.
