		<description><![CDATA[The four votes on aspects of the Embryology Bill in the UK presented an opportunity for the religiously blinkered to put narrow-minded dogma before compassion and scientific progress. They were soundly and properly trounced. It&#8217;s always good to see reason prevail. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill represents the most important development in fertility law [...]]]></description>

The advance of science offers us one scale by which to judge ourselves. Most smart people have already given up on the BC and AD calendar designations. Before Common Era [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientific materialism is often condemned by religious believers as being reductionist, as though perceiving the essential truth of something were a bad thing. But does it justify this pejorative abuse of the term? What do people of a scientific inclination see when they look at the world? They see the complex bonding of elements.

		<description><![CDATA[Pope Benedict XVI has had to cancel a visit to Rome&#8217;s leading university over suggestions that he approved of the church&#8217;s treatment of Galileo. The truth, as always, is somewhat murkier, but perhaps it&#8217;s just as well. Popes and science are not a good mix. The Pope should have been speaking at La Sapienza (&#8216;wisdom&#8217;), [...]]]></description>

It established that ID is just a dishonest re-badging of creationism and has no place in a science class.

		<description><![CDATA[There seem to be almost as many definitions of atheism as there are atheists. Perhaps that&#8217;s because it is a proposition that frees the mind rather than constricts it. Many definitions of atheism embrace science as the framework for knowledge and understanding of our universe. Many adopt humanist codes of ethics and humanitarian principles as [...]]]></description>

Take the comments by the Pope&#8217;s astronomer, Guy Consolmagno, who has just accused creationists of being pagans. According to an article in The Scotsman, Brother Consolmagno, who is based in Arizona, [...]]]></description>
