In Turkey, Schools Will Stop Teaching Evolution This Fall: "In school, they taught us humans evolved from monkeys. But that's not true. I support our government taking it out of biology textbooks. I think it's Satan's work."

Wrong. Here is the context in full.

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL

So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.

18:82

And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."

18:83

And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul-Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."

18:84

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.

18:85

So he followed a way

18:86

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."

18:87

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.

18:88

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."

18:89

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Then he followed a way

18:90

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.

18:91

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.

18:92

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Then he followed a way

18:93

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.

18:94

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL They said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
