| Sarfati is known for ducking questions, and wiggling out of specific details. He mainly speaks in broad generalizations (another indication that he's not a real scientist), and lacks details. For example, a web site's author had an email exchange with the "Dr." and asked him for a definition of what he calls a "Kind." Sarfati repeatedly ducked the questions and just said that species isn't precisely defined either. The author pointed out that there were at least published trees of what a species is, whereas Sarfati's "Kind" argument had nothing except vague articles published by dense Creationist organisations. This is merely one example of the duck they call Sarfati. | |||

Dr. Jonathan Sarfati is a chemist, research scientist, and a young-earth creationist who works for the Christian apologetics ministry Answers in Genesis (AiG). He is very well known by those who are interested in the creation/evolution controversy. Sarfati is also a world ranked chess champion.
He has written and contributed to several books, including Refuting Evolution, Refuting Evolution 2, and Refuting Compromise. They are among the best selling books on the AiG website. His book Refuting Compromise deals primarily with the claims made by the progressive creationist Dr. Hugh Ross. Sarfati also is the author of numerous articles on the AiG website, as well as a frequent speaker at churches and other venues on the creation/evolution issue.
He often boasts about defeating evolutionists at their own game, and uses dirty language to accomplish that goal. Some might say that he is worse than Kent Hovind, because of the rhetoric that he espouses.
It is often asserted that "Dr." Sarfati's credentials are spurious because, like most every other creationist propagandist, he is so ignorant even in the fields which he claims to be an expert in (chemistry).
