		<description><![CDATA[No doubt you&#8217;ve heard. The senate passed the bill to allow for expanded federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and Bush vetoed it, the first such veto of his presidency.
I&#8217;m hot. Not even because of people&#8217;s positions but rather the hypocrisy I see permeating this issue. The issue is what to do with thousands [...]]]></description>

		<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>

Just when I thought Tiktaalik (tic-TAH-lick) was becoming my favorite word I learn that Hawaii may once again make humuhumunukunukuapuaa the state fish, this time permanently.
Update: Here&#8217;s how to say it.

		<description><![CDATA[A couple days back, I blogged about an Afghan that was to be executed for converting to Christianity from Islam. After an international outcry, he&#8217;s been set free.
The problem I see with this story is that he wasn&#8217;t set free because people came to their senses and realized you shouldn&#8217;t run a country where you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The so-called golden rule, those words spoken by Jesus in Mathew 7:12 should be quite familiar to most people.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.


It is these very words I think that are the guiding principle behind a Christian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fresh on the heels of Europe&#8217;s spineless apologizing over the Danish cartoons, I read of a case where a fringe British historian named David Irving has been sentenced to three years in jail for denying the Holocaust. It&#8217;s a crime in Austria to deny the Holocaust.
I&#8217;m literally speechless. The way to deal with a Holocaust [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if any of you remember Viktor Yushchenko, but Seed Magazine has an article up on his poisoning while he was running for president in Ukraine.


Tasteless but highly toxic, the dioxin Yushchenko ingested was administered in a dose probably less than 1 mg. A drop in a bowl of soup would have gone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I saw the headline that Dick Cheney had accidently shot someone, and as I read the story, I knew that my thoughts should have been along the lines of, &#8220;I hope that guy&#8217;s okay&#8230;&#8221;. Instead, the first thing that came to my mind was, &#8220;Every comedian&#8217;s prayer has just been answered&#8230;&#8221;

One was born in Shrewsbury, England, the other in a one-room log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky.
One ended up losing his Christian faith by the end of his life, mainly due to the death of his [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s was a guy named George C. Deutsch, appointed by George W. Bush, to work with NASA&#8217;s public affairs office.
There has been an enormous amount of controversy among scientists, for the perception that he and others in that capacity tried to limit the access by the press to scientists working [...]]]></description>
