PETALING JAYA: A video highlighting apparent factual errors made by controversial preacher Dr Zakir Naik in one of his speeches has been making the rounds on social media.
While the video currently getting rekindled attention was uploaded onto Facebook in 2013, the original video hails from 2011 and was put up by Evidence for God’s Unchanging Word, a religious website.

Most of the comments were critical of the preacher.
The video, which is just under six and a half minutes long, points out 25 alleged factual mistakes made by Dr Zakir during one of his talks about evolution.
In the video, the presenter, Pakistani American Christian apologist Nabeel Qureshi, goes through Dr Zakir’s talk and highlights what he said were the factual errors.
These included using wrong names for people and places, stating that Homo sapiens were extinct, as well as referring to scientific experts who do not appear to exist.
The video has been shared 1,337 times with 121 comments and 387 likes as of 10.50pm on Monday.
Dr Zakir has been in the spotlight recently after Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi confirmed that the controversial preacher was given PR status about five years ago.
Dr Zakir's Islamic Research Foundation has been declared an unlawful organisation by the Indian government.
