I'd say they'd care about at least some of the accusations Sarfati made. Mimms being fired for being a creationist for example.

Was the founder of SA really an AIG type creationist or was he a rational and thinking person?
You mean the guy who founded Scientific American over 150 years ago?

I also hear he didn't believe in the Holocaust either.

Well he was working before Darwin published a word on the subject of evolution....

But I bet that he would have refused to sign AiG's statement of faith since YECism was long dead in science by that time. And I very much doubt that he was a biologist.

Yeah. I know, it's hardly relevent but imagine if it was not only irrelevent but also inaccurate. Old earth geology was main stream even then wasn't it? It would be quite interesting (and worth publishing) if it turns out the guy was one of Darwin's supporters. Or at least accepted an old earth.

The other point that (IMO) is worth responding to is the accusation of censorship in the specific case of Mimms.
