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.
