			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stuart Burgess, Professor of design and nature, Bristol University Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, <a href="http://education.independent.co.uk/higher/article2246761.ece">said</a> in a Feb. 8, 2007 interview &#8220;There are strong indications of intelligent design.&#8221; Way to go, Stuart, for speaking out in a day when intelligent design sympathizers are routinely roasted by the current scientific community. </p>
<p>Unlike Newton, Kelvin, and Pascal, modern scientists have a big problem with intelligent design, and the implication of a creator. So, despite innumerable ambiguities, major gaps, and outright hoaxes, most of modern science rules out the possibility of a creator. Why is this? I think it has nothing at all to do with science and everything to do with their pre-existing belief system. They load all their science information onto the framework of their belief system (which is either &#8220;no God&#8221; or &#8220;uninvolved God&#8221;) rather than taking science with an open mind.</p>
<p>Many people ask me why I homeschool my children, and here is the number one reason: extreme bias in science in our public school system. When evolution is taught as a fact of science, and creeps into almost every subject area, I draw the line. And it&#8217;s awfully hard to undo that daily grind of millions of years and monkeyman and such in the wee hours that my children would actually be home being taught the truth, were they away all day at school.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beginning of my thoughts made known. I write about faith and family and life. I know a few things, that God is good, all the time. That life is brief and we have a job to do: love God and love people. For me, this looks like muddling through my day, praying on the go, changing diapers for my 2 year old and teaching reading to my 5 year old. Serving up a good meal, gathering my four little ones around me to read a bedtime story, and helping my husband run a business.</p>
