3.0 out of 5 stars OK, But Don't Stop Here July 18 2010
By Glen Koehn
Format:Paperback
How can you tell an honest inquirer from a rationalizer? Honest inquirers are ready to follow the argument wherever it leads, while people who just want to strengthen their own views avoid anything that might shake their beliefs.

Which of these are you? If you are an honest inquirer, you will also wish to read the author whom Sarfati is criticizing, in order to get a fair idea of the case. It is a bit lazy to just read Sarfati's attack without looking at the original. That would be like a judge just listening to the prosecutor's side without bothering to hear the defense.

So by all means read Sarfati, but if you are serious make sure you read Dawkins also. Actually, reading Charles Darwin himself would be an even better idea. He's the one who persuaded most people to begin with. Sarfati's work may be useful in getting some people interested in science, but unfortunately many people will use it as an excuse to stop inquiring.

"The Greatest Hoax on Earth" is a young earth creationist book, written by Jonathan Sarfati. The author is the leading light of the CMI, an international creationist ministry. Sarfati is also the author of "Refuting Evolution", apparently a bestseller.

Personally, I'm not a creationist, but my main objection to this book would be that it's very similar to "Refuting Evolution", frankly boring and in need of better editing. "The Greatest Hoax on Earth" is written in the form of a response to Richard Dawkins' book "The Greatest Show on Earth", in itself a badly edited and rambling tome. It's almost as if the two books deserve each other...

If you absolutely want to know more about young earth creationism, I would rather recommend "Refuting Evolution".

PS. Humans are descended from other fronkeys. Just so you know. :P

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book! Refutes Dawkins Well. Nov 9 2012
By Paul - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book very much. It does a great job showing that science facts do not support evolution. It is only the interpretations of those facts that support evolution, and interpretation are always subjective based off one's views of the world. Evolution has many flaws and this book talks about many of them.

Anyone who has issues with this book should simply contact the author via creation.com and you will get a response.

5.0 out of 5 stars Showing Dawkins Hoax Aug 16 2012
By James R. Winter - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A bit deep for the layperson but needed reading if you want to try understanding why evolution is an ad hoc system that isn't consistent and won't work. Dr. Sarfati's books are all really great reads.
