		<title>Darwin in South Africa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the 150th anniversary of the publishing of Charles Darwin&#8217;s seminal On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. (This mouthful was changed for the sixth edition of 1872 to the familiar The Origin of Species.) So this anniversary marks one [...]]]></description>

		<title>The great climate change conspiracy revealed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[George Monbiot, climate change activist and author of the best selling book, Heat, has revealed an alarming and damning email which lays bare the great conspiracy behind the global warming scam:
From: ernst.kattweizel@redcar.ac.uk
Sent: 29th October 2009

		<title>Aardonyx celestae pictures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shirona Patel of the Bernard Price Institute has kindly sent me some pictures of Aardonyx celestae to share with you.
The specimen, one of three found on the site, is impressively large at seven metres long, the length of a African elephant bull. Click though for the full-size images.

		<title>Aardonyx celestae: new South African fossil treasure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[South Africa is awash in palaeontological riches, with fossils of the earliest vertebrates to early and late hominids. It was announced today that a new species of dinosaur is the latest addition to this treasure.
The new species, a vegetarian dinosaur named Aardonyx celestae, from the early Jurassic period (approximately 195 million years old and seven [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday&#8217;s Tune: The Morning I Get To Hell</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Duke &#38; The King is a new band featuring Simone Felice and Robert &#8220;Chicken&#8221; Burke. Felice, a former New York subway busker, has wowed English critics and fans alike on their first ever tour. Neil McCormack of the London Telegraph called Felice &#8220;the greatest singer-songwriter you&#8217;ve never heard,&#8221; and

		<title>A climate-denying lie in the making</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the original of the letter I wrote to Business Day today.
Sir
Robert Gentle, that busy little cog in the Climate Change Denial machinery, has repeated a downright lie, fabricated within the last months (Beware global cooling, Letters, November 9). He has resorted to quote-mining a talk by Prof Mojib Latif, warning of the very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mourning a chimpanzee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can you look at this picture and not get a lump in your throat? You can just feel the grief in the line of chimpanzees sombrely watching the body of their beloved friend being wheeled away.

Dorothy died last year &#8211; among her friends after a lifetime of abuse and imprisonment. Her death caused huge sadness [...]]]></description>

		<title>Einstein: religion is &#8220;childish superstition&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Few other historic figures have had their religious beliefs as thoroughly questioned as that of Albert Einstein. I suppose the problem is that he often used the word &#8220;God&#8221; in his conversations and writings. Of course, atheists would like to claim him as one but he consistently rebuffed this claim since he considered himself an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homoeopathy explained</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps I was mistaken. Everything I had read and heard of homoeopathy led me to believe it was just a pile of rotten excrement passing itself off as a &#8220;science&#8221;. I&#8217;ve even blogged about it in disparaging tones (here, here, here and here).
But I&#8217;ve had the scales pulled from my eyes. The truth of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tuesday&#8217;s Tune: Berkeley Girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Paul Simon&#8217;s &#8220;travelling companion&#8221; is no longer nine years old. He&#8217;s now 36, and has just released his eponymous début solo album, Harper Simon. And it&#8217;s very enjoyable.
Simon &#8211; whose mother is Paul&#8217;s first wife, Peggy Harper &#8211; will of course have to live in the shadow of his musical giant of a father. Yet [...]]]></description>
