Adnan Oktar: The really big impact in Europe came after this Atlas of Creation, in other words, my book the Atlas of Creation gave rise to the really stunning effect. It provboked great reactions in France, Germany and Italy. It evoked really enormous responses. It had an especially positive impact on the intellectual section of society. It greatly accelerated the turning toward religion.  Christians, people of Christian origins, began becoming truly religious. These are very excellent developments. From the Atlas of Creation I sent to Tony Blair, for example. One report says, “Blair encourages religion to assume a greater role. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has called for religion to be given a central role in seeking to resolve the world’s problems.” Faith, in other words, belief in God. Another says, “Tony Blair is dedicating his life to religion. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair says he will devote the rest of his life to increasing inter-faith dialogue.” These are statements made in the wake of the Atlas. Again, “Tony Blair is calling on faith leaders to resuscitate the world’s conscience.” His words.  "Protect religion and help it become a force for good.” All Blair’s words. The Atlas has had a very, very positive impact. And not only on him. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is the same.

Adnan Oktar: But most asgtonishing developments took place in Europe following the arrival of the Atlas of Creation there. Sarkozy, for instance, was someone who never mentioned religion or Islam. Tony Blair was a socialist, a leftist who never even said the word religion. Unbelievable changes have taken place and the French press have written openly about this. We saw in the press how he was profoundly influenced by my works and how Tony Blair was similarly affected. In the Guardian, Tony Blair says, “Protect religion and help it become a force for good.” Again after my book we read: “Tony Blair has called for religion to assume a cedntral place in the resolution of the world’s problems. He said it could awaken the conscience of the world...” Very profound changes have taken place, masha’Allah.   These are all very splendid developments, thanks be to God. Intellectuals are not resisting in Belgium and the rest of Europe. That is very good. There are some still holding out, but the numbers of those who have given in is very high. We can see that they have given up from opinion polls showing that the level of people not believing in Darwinism stands at 80%. Separate polls have been conducted. Separate ones have been performed in Germany, for example. And in Holland. This is a huge figure, a total reversal of the case previously when 80% believed in Darwin and 20% did not. Now 80% do not believe in Darwin; 80% believe in creation... (Mersin TV-September 5, 2008)
