The purpose of this website is to provide information on biblical and scientific creationism resources which are available in the Turkish language. The books we have translated and published in Turkey are from Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis. Also see Turkish articles on www.christiananswers.net/turkish. The links page includes other biblical, creationist English language resources.

Why Turkish?

Although Turkey is officially 99% Muslim, evolutionary naturalism is the second major world view competing with Islam in Turkey. It is a major world view affecting what is taught in schools, in universities, in encyclopedias and on nature shows in Turkey. The Bible's trustworthiness has been questioned in Turkey on both religious and secular grounds. There are several books on the market in Turkish defending the Bible against Muslim objections, however, until recent years there were no books in the Turkish language defending the Bible's view of history against evolutionary views of history.

Why creationism?

Secular education and popular nature shows on television have popularized an unbiblical view of history which insinuates that the Bible's record of history beginning in Genesis can be nothing more than myths and fables. This unbiblical view of history, portraying millions of years of naturalistic evolution as if it were an established fact, is repeated commonly in nature shows, cartoons, and documentaries. This view of history is actually an unbiblical philosophy of reality. It is popular through persistent repetition, not because it has been demonstrated to be true.

The Bible, on the other hand, presents a supernatural view of history, with God creating the entire universe in a very short period of time by His powerful word. The actual evidence from geology, paleontology, biology, etc supports a biblical view of history much better than an atheistic, chaotic, evolutionary view of history. If we are to take any parts of the Bible seriously, we must take all of it seriously. Since the whole Bible is the Word of God, any theory which undermines faith in the historical facts of Genesis also undermines faith in the historical facts of the gospel.

Christian creationist organizations such as Institute for Creation Research, Answers in Genesis, and Christian Answers Network have hundreds of books, videos and articles defending the historical and scientific reliability and accuracy of the Bible. It is our goal to make at least some of these resources available in the Turkish language.

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world,
rather than according to Christ."
