paleonet The Evolution Deceit Group



Title: paleonet The Evolution Deceit Group
Hello,

Sounds like the Harun Yahya contingent from Turkey.  They keep track of hundreds of email addresses of scientists, and also compile email addresses of plain folks who post pro-evolution messages on usenet.  Check out Reports of the National Center for Science Education, vol. 19, no. 4, Nov/Dec 1999, for a lot of information on them.  There was also an article on this group in Science a few weeks back.  Get used to seeing more creationism from Turkey as they're very active.
