Revision as of 08:22, 2 March 2006

Dr. Jonathan Sarfati

Jonathan D. Sarfati (born October 1, 1964) is an Australian writer and researcher who works for Creation Ministries International (CMI), formerly Answers in Genesis (AiG), a non-profit Christian apologetics ministry specializing in Young-Earth creationism. He is the author of Creation science articles and three books on the subject; Refuting Evolution (1999), Refuting Evolution 2 (2002), and Refuting Compromise (2004). His forthcoming book is Rescuing the Bible from John Shelby Spong, co-authored with Michael Bott.

A FIDE Master in chess, he achieved a draw against former world champion Boris Spassky during a tournament in Wellington in 1988, and was New Zealand's national chess champion in 1987-8, representing that country in Chess Olympiads in 1986, 1988, and 1992.

He has a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

Background

Born in Ararat, Victoria, Sarfati moved with his family to New Zealand as a child, where he became a dual national. He attended Wellington College in New Zealand, later graduating from Victoria University of Wellington with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in chemistry, and a Ph.D. in the same subject for a thesis entitled "A ] Study of someChalcogenide Ring and Cage Molecules."

He co-authored a paper on high-temperature superconductors that was published in Nature in 1987 ("Letters to Nature") , and from 1988 to 1995, had several papers on spectroscopy of condensed matter samples published in other peer-reviewed scientific journals.

In 1996, he returned to Brisbane, Australia to work for the Creation Science Foundation, then Answers in Genesis and now Creation Ministries International, as co-editor of their magazine, Creation, ,ref>CMI's Creation magazine </ref> and their technical journal, Journal of Creation (formerly TJ).

Ethnically Jewish, Sarfati converted to Christianity in 1984, and describes himself as a Messianic Jew or Hebrew Christian. He is married with one stepson.

Writings and criticism

According to the Answers in Genesis website, Sarfati was a founder of the Wellington Christian Apologetics Society in New Zealand, and has long retained an interest in Christian apologetics and the creationism versus evolution debate.

His first two books, Refuting Evolution in 1999, and Refuting Evolution 2 in 2002, are rebuttals to the National Academy of Sciences' publication Teaching about Evolution and the Nature of Science and the PBS/Nova series "Evolution," respectively. Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education described Refuting Evolution 2 as a "crude piece of propaganda," and expressed concern that there are no serious rebuttals of it, arguing that "its shoddiness is no excuse for complacency on the part of the scientific community."

Refuting Compromise, published in 2004, is Sarfati's rebuttal of the day-age creationist teachings of Dr. Hugh Ross, who attempts to harmonize the Genesis account of creation with modern science on the age of the earth and the possible size of the Flood, against which Sarfati puts arguments defending a traditional biblical creation timeline and a global flood.

In his books and articles, Sarfati provides a biblical and scientific defense of young-earth creationism and the Genesis account of creation, covering a wide range of topics both within and outside his areas of expertise.

Discussing astronomy, for example, he writes that the remains of supernovae and distribution of comets, can provide explanations consistent with the universe having been created 6,000 years ago. On biology, he argues that all the animals required in Genesis to fit into Noah's Ark, including dinosaurs, would have been able to do so. He also argues that vestigial organs may have an unknown purpose, or that their existence would be explained by the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.

He has written in his own general field of chemistry criticising evolutionary origin of life theories, pointing out what he considers difficulties in chemical evolution, such as polymerization,, chirality,, instability of building blocks and the origin of self-reproduction.

Sarfati has been criticized for the wide range of subjects he discusses. Reed A. Cartwright and Dr Douglas L. Theobald, in commenting on his views on vestigial organs, note on ], a pro-evolution website, that his doctorate was in physical chemistry, and not biology.

Chess

File:Sarfatiblindfoldchess.jpg
Sarfati playing blindfold chess at 12 boards simultaneously

A New Zealand national chess champion in 1987-8, he represented New Zealand in three Chess Olympiads: the 27th in Dubai in 1986, the 28th in Thessaloniki in 1988, and the 30th in Manila in 1992. He also tied Rey Casse in the Australian Junior Championship in 1981, but was not eligible to share the title because he was a resident of New Zealand at the time.

He is currently the club captain/director-of-play for the Logan City Chess Club, Australia.

He is known for giving blindfold chess exhibits at AiG conferences and chess clubs, and has played twelve such games simultaneously.

His previous best was winning 11/11 at the Kapiti Chess Club in New Zealand .

Moral and political views

Sarfati is a strong defender of the pro-life position, opposing abortion, except to save the life of the mother, and embryonic, but not adult, stem cell research.

He has argued that the Bible contradicts slavery and apartheid, and that Nazism owed much to evolutionary ideas.,

He defends marriage as an institution joining one man and one woman, and opposes polygamy. He opposes ] behaviour, while advocating "love the sinner, hate the sin." He condemned what he called the "vile murder of the homosexual Matthew Shepard by young thugs," and denounced Fred Phelps — the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, who has preached that God hates homosexuals — as "on the lunatic fringe of Christendom, with virtually no support from conservative Christians."

He has endorsed Bernard Goldberg's suggestion that Roman Catholic priests who molest teenage boys should be called "gay priests" rather than "pedophile priests." In the same article, he used the terms "homonazis" and "sodomofascist" to refer to gays who dvocate the imprisonment of pastors for calling homosexual acts sinful:

Homosexuals are now a politically protected victim group, about which it is verboten to say anything negative. And certain homonazis want Christians punished if they quote from the Bible against homosexual behavior. Indeed, 63-year-old Pastor Åke Green was jailed in Sweden for just that, because they have such a sodomofascist law restricting Christian freedom. Fortunately his conviction was overturned on appeal, to the ire of homosexual activists, by a higher court because it was such an egregiousiolation of Sweden's free speech laws."
