		<title>Dembski on Naturalistic Materialism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the time that I speak of intelligent design, Dembski, or his blog Uncommon Descent I&#8217;m highly critical. There&#8217;s lots not to like. But several days ago he posted a picture that was really quite nice &#8212; a &#8220;fire rainbow&#8221;.

		<title>Things I Should Have Blogged About Last Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my week long break, there were a bunch of things that I should have blogged about. Hardly having the time to cover any of them in depth, I&#8217;ll simply include a list with some links for your perusal.

Perhaps the biggest story I missed in my week off was Kansas. The state board of education [...]]]></description>

		<title>John Derbyshire Whoops Up On George Gilder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, George Gilder &#8212; one of the founders of the Discovery Institute &#8212; wrote a piece called Evolution and Me for the print edition of National Review. (It&#8217;s online at the Discovery Institute though).
Yesterday in a shockingly violent manner, John Derbyshire (also at the National Review) was caught mercilessly pummeling Gilder&#8217;s piece beyond [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hell Hath No Fury Like a Scorned Creationist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had planned on finishing up my review of Finding Darwin&#8217;s God by Ken Miller this evening (it&#8217;s been sitting in my drafts half finished for a week now), but as it turns out, Miller surfaced over the weekend for another reason.
Last month the folks at Uncommon Descent quoted Ken Miller, giving the impression that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ferris Bueller Kind of Intelligent Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I keep Uncommon Descent, the weblog of all things intelligently designed (and unintelligently argued), handily available amoung my RSS feeds. Reading in small doses is quite illuminating and humerous. A recent title grabbed my attention: Research possibility motivated by ID. Could this be it? The breakthrough that propels intelligent design forward into actual science, tearing [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Conservatives and Opposition to Evolution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With most of the criticism of evolution and support for intelligent design coming from conservatives circle, the Wall Street Journal has an op-ed on the subject worth reading titled Misplaced Sympathies. The article&#8217;s a nice read, but here&#8217;s an excerpt.

It was a preoccupation with defeating materialism that inspired many of Darwin&#8217;s contemporary detractors. Richard Owen, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identity of the Designer &#8212; A Fire Breathing Rabbit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While driving through Port Arthur, TX on my recent trip, we came across an oil refinery that was producing quite a show.

While some may consider this an accident, the whole event is actually intelligently designed. If you look closely, you can clearly see a fire breathing rabbit, responsible for sending the place up in smoke.
Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flying Spaghetti Monster Under Attack In Kansas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


Seems that the flying spaghetti monster came under attack in Kansas on a recent tour of a middle school by state board members.
A science teacher dared to the hang a picture of His Noodliness and a Doonsebury cartoon (I can only assume it&#8217;s this one) and this offended a couple of state board members who [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Discovery For Science, The Same Old Spin For Intelligent Design</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I imagine by now you heard of the new transitionary fossil reported from the artic circle, dubbed Tiktaalik roseae. (It&#8217;s pronounced tic-TAH-lick, and it&#8217;s just so fun to say!) MSNBC has the layman&#8217;s report, while Pharyngula and The Loom both have more in depth coverage on the find.

It&#8217;s a cool fossil. Essentially the bones in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Watch Out Clarence Darrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Late to the party as usual, I came across a thread from a couple of weeks ago on The Loom where Randy &#8220;Flock of Dodos&#8221; Olson gave more of his thoughts on communicating evolution to the public. Olson also chimed in on the comments, which in the great tradition of the internet, turned heated and [...]]]></description>
