Summary
ANKARA-- Harassed but hard-headed, some gutsy Turkish scientists are stepping up their efforts to promote the teaching of the theory of evolution in the face of a well-organized, well-funded effort to discredit it by Turkish creationists with ties to U.S. groups.

Indeed, some scientists complain that antievolution books have become more influential than textbooks in some parts of the country.
