		<title>A Quick Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those still reading Ocellated, sorry for the lack of blogging goodness lately. Grad school has officially consumed my life, and I love it.
This week shows absolutely no signs of letting up either. A test today (bird orders of the world - which I&#8217;ll ace) and one tomorrow (advanced genetics &#8212; I&#8217;ll be beaten and [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Not Dead Yet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; as the famous line from Monty Python goes.
Though I&#8217;ve recently felt close. I survived a test on Monday, with another one this afternoon.
In addition, tonight I start a 5 week series in the university class at church on the evolution / religion issue, and I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time getting that prepared.
Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Their Resistance Starts Young</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife is a second grade teacher. The other day, she was teaching a cause and effect lesson to the little ones. You flip the light switch and what happens? They all grasped that example.
But why is there snow on the top of the mountain? They were baffled, and a hush fell over the class. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hand of God?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry folks. Things have been a little crazy lately. School started back up this week, and I&#8217;ve recently come across a plethora of web-related jobs. The will to post was sucked away.
The Personal
But I&#8217;m back today with some really exciting news. (Well, for us at least). My wife&#8217;s been trying to get a job as [...]]]></description>

		<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>Rosenhouse on Religion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jason Rosenhouse over at EvolutionBlog recently commented on an article by Michael Ruse about religion and evolution. That article was fine &#8212; I agree with Ruse&#8217;s point, but Rosenhouse misses the mark when it comes to religion.
For example, he writes 

I agree with what Ruse is saying here, and I especially like that last paragraph. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christians and Stem Cells</title>
		<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>

		<title>Finding Darwin&#8217;s God &#8212; Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Purchase at Amazon

Just before I came back from thesis work, I finished up Finding Darwin&#8217;s God, by Ken Miller. Miller is a biochemist at Brown University who&#8217;s coauthored the Prentice Hall biology textbook used by roughly a third of U.S. high school and college students. He&#8217;s also a tireless defender of science education and widely [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Is Bad Religion?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent post over at the Panda&#8217;s Thumb by Mark Isaak addressed The Larger Issue of Bad Religion. The Panda&#8217;s Thumb is a rowdy kind of place, and this post was no exception, spawning 324 comments (at the time I write this) since it was published.
Anticipating the backlash from a topic such as this, the [...]]]></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>
