		<title>Atheism and Rational Faith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Both Anglican Archbishop Peter Jensen and Catholic Cardinal George Pell have this Good Friday returned fire on the growing atheist-Church conflict (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/04/02/2863269.htm), accusing the rise of atheism for many of the great wrongs of last century and challenging it as simply an alternative faith. But isn’t atheism the absence of faith? Isn’t it the rational [...]]]></description>

		<title>Miranda Devine and the great Australian fire myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s so difficult to choose a newspaper. I have all but given up on The Australian due to its refusal to print any of the story on Australia&#8217;s corrupt dealings with Indonesia&#8217;s military and its blatant campaign of spin regarding climate change. But unfortunately the SMH has Miranda Devine. Dear Miranda. If people think we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Train Indonesia&#8217;s Deadly Kopassus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The article below comes from an American campaign. The US stopped training the Kopassus (Indonesia&#8217;s Special Forces) because they have a law that stops them from giving support to human rights abusers, but Bush started talks about restarting the training. Notice however that Australia never stopped training them despite strong public opinion. Indonesia does not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not so wonderful Copenhagen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If ever you doubted it, the Copenhagen meeting has given a pretty clear picture of what human nature is really about.
The G77 body represents the world&#8217;s developing nations - the majority world that don&#8217;t have the option of turning on air conditioners, buying new cars when they don&#8217;t like the style of the one they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting Climate Alarmists in their place.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a body made up of representatives from 166 different nations to rule out political bias. The 152 lead authors and 650 reviewers include experts with all sorts of personal opinions for and against climate change but all bound by the one rule - they can only say what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not all&#8217;s Fair in Love and War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A recent article in the Creation Ministries International ‘Prayer News’ referred to a claim by Sir David Attenborough that he had received hate mail from creationists. CMI have responded saying that this is a diversionary tactic used to “deflect scrutiny from the real issues” which is fair enough; I’ve certainly seen it used a lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s easier to re-write than get it right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn’t it timely that now the new Balibo movie is hitting the screens, John Howard and Alexander Downer have suddenly revealed that they were on East Timor’s side the whole time? They ask us to take them at their word, but to do so we need to throw away a few other pieces of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Creationists and Climate Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been encouraged by a recent interaction with two scientists from &#8220;Creation Ministries International&#8221;. CMI recently published an article called &#8220;God&#8217;s Global Warming worked just fine&#8220;, where Russ Humphreys attempted to &#8220;debunk some myths&#8221; about Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW - the idea that the climate is warming and humans have caused it).
It&#8217;s a noble idea and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Freeport murders have a familar face</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Melbourne father Drew Grant and security guard Markus Rattealo were both shot by snipers over the weekend at West Papua&#8217;s Freeport Mines. As questions are raised about &#8220;separatist&#8221; activity, the only piece of evidence to come to light so far is the fact that the bullets that killed the men were Indonesian military issue. Unfortunately, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Assessment of Steve Fielding&#8217;s stance on climate change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Family First Senator Steve Fielding has posted the questions he put to Penny Wong on Climate Change recently, I&#8217;ve had a look at them and posted my analysis here. I&#8217;ve tried to keep it simple but be warned, there&#8217;s a bit to it. Unfortunately this is the stuff we have to learn if we want [...]]]></description>
