CONFERENCES

SRF Conferences:
Activities for Informing the Public About Evolution

Harun Yahya's more than 190 works have been translated into a variety of foreign languages and have reached the hands of countless readers worldwide. In addition to the books, over 140 national and international conferences have been held so far to support this great scientific movement and have received positive feedback from all over the world.

Harun Yahya conferences first began in the author's home country, Turkey. Between 1998-2000, scientific conferences based on the works of Harun Yahya were held in 120 different locations in Turkey. According to the statistics given by the Science and Research Foundation, the organizing body behind the conferences, the number of the participants reached as high as 100,000. Furthermore, these conferences were broadcasted on many television channels in Turkey, and thus reached millions of people.

Since 2001, Harun Yahya conferences have expanded worldwide. So far, conferences based on the works of Harun Yahya have been held in many countries such as Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, Holland, Azerbaijan, Canada, the US and Indonesia. Scholars, professors, university students and many other people have shown high interest in these conferences which focus on different topics such as "The Collapse of the Theory of Evolution", "Miracles of the Qur'an", "The Existence of God", "The Creation of the Universe" and "Islam Denounces Terrorism." These conferences were enhanced by a variety of presentations and video projections. The audience included not only Muslims, but also Christians, Jews and people of other faiths. The conferences held in Malaysia, Canada, the US and Indonesia in particular, mostly in the universities, showed the great interest many people, especially university students, have in these topics. The fact that a single conference in Indonesia had some 8,000 participants gives us a significant idea about the interest the conferences attracted and their effects. The lecturers, who used texts based on the works of Harun Yahya, were the center of attention throughout the activities. The interviews and television programs done with the lecturers also drew a lot of interest.


A recent conference in Lampung, Indonesia, given by speakers from the Science Research Foundation and attended by more than 4000 people.
(October 2002)

At these conferences, where there was no entrance charge, some works of the author were given away free and question-answer sessions were held in an atmosphere of cordial conversation. The audience also acknowledged that the conferences opened new vistas for them, especially for young people and those in scientific fields. Within the framework of these conferences and afterwards, various activities were organized by the students including exhibitions, book reviews and video presentations. The effects of these activities still continue and people from all over the world are already demanding to be participants in the conferences to be organized in the future.

IN ORDER TO REALIZE NEW CONFERENCES…

If you would like us to visit your university as lecturers or to organize conferences, you may contact us immediately. The first thing to be done should be to determine a conference room by asking permission from the university board. We can announce the conference, the topic of which will be decided upon mutually, to a wide audience by means of posters and other media weeks before it occurs. You may also provide a bulletin to be published in your school newsletter and, if possible, in your local or national newspaper or to be broadcasted on TV. You might also enable the conference to be covered live on radio or TV.

It is essential that you encourage the participation of your university teachers in addition to that of the students. You can exhibit our books and posters in your school prior to the conference, and organize video broadcasts in various venues. You can also inform other academic institutions in your area or country and encourage them to hold conferences in their universities as well. It would be a pleasure for us to be lecturers in foundations, masjids and other organizations that request to participate in these activities. With your support and efforts, many people will become aware of great faith- and science-related facts and the new generation will grow up to be more conscious. Your advice and suggestions on this issue are of great importance to us.
