'''Jonathan Sarfati''', Ph.D. is a [[creation scientist]], author, and master [[chess]] player from [[New Zealand]] and [[Australia]]. He is affiliated with [[Creation Ministries International]] (formerly ''[[Answers in Genesis]]'') in [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]].
He has authored a paper in the top-of-the-line journal Nature<ref>Mawdsley, A., et. al., [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v328/n6127/pdf/328233a0.pdf Thermoelectric power and electron–phonon enhancement in YBa<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>3</sub>O<sub>7–δ</sub>], ''Nature''328, 233-234 (16 July 1987).</ref> and drew a chess game against world [[champion]] [[Boris Spassky]] and was for a time the chess champion of [[New Zealand]].<ref>[http://creation.com/dr-jonathan-d-sarfati Jonathan Sarfati - bio]</ref><ref>[http://www.poisonpawn.co.nz/titles.htm NZ Chess] web-site</ref>
Sarfati has used his intelligence and extensive knowledge of science to demonstrate the many holes in the [[theory of evolution]] such as the impossibility of life arising from non-life.
Sarfati is a [[Messianic Judaism|Hebrew Christian]], that is, a [[Jew]] who accepts [[Jesus]] as his Lord and Savior. He has repeatedly and powerfully attacked liberalism and liberal activist judges, as well as defended Biblical morality against liberal causes like [[abortion]] and [[gay marriage|homosexual "marriage"]].<ref>Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3628/ Abortion — The answer’s in Genesis] (Creation Ministries International), May 1998.</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/Home/Area/feedback/2005/0415.asp</ref><ref>Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/2158/ Response to ‘gay marriage’ article objections; CMI shows questioner that Christian faith is logical] (Creation Ministries International), 6th February 2004.</ref>

In 2006, evolutionist administrators at [[Wikipedia®]] attempted to turn the Wikipedia page about Sarfati into an attack piece. This went so far as to go to Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Agapetos_angel Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Agapetos angel]</ref>
After the evolutionists were not allowed to have their way, they twice tried to get the article deleted.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jonathan_Sarfati Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Sarfati]</ref><ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jonathan_Sarfati%282%29 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Sarfati(2)]</ref>
