Return to feedback home.I was really just wanting to thank Dr. Sarfati for his excellent work on many different things that I have had the pleasure to read of his. I also, would like to bring to his attention an article that I have ran into recently concerning his stem cell research article. The article I am wanting him to see is from a magazine called “B’NAI B’RITH” the fall 2004 issue on pgs. 28–31 written by Ruth Ebenstein. I simply wanted to point out this article because of the fact if it were not for reading Dr. Sarfati’s I would have probably been sucked into the view that has been posted in Ms. Ebenstein’s article. Thank you again for opening my eyes to the truth in so many different areas.
Your brother in Christ,
