		<description><![CDATA[As we talked about in the last podcast Australian students in religious education classes are going to be given some education about Humanism and it will be pointed out that "there is no evidence for god. Of course Ken Ham has a bit of a reading comprehension problem, and this explains a lot about Mr. Ham, in his recent blog post he claims that Australian Students are to be taught "there is no god".]]></description>

While Professor Myers does not respond to these directly, there was one comment I wanted to call out, and decided, since I've been lazy this week, that I'd do so here, as it is representative of a common claim from fundamentalist religious types.]]></description>

It&#8217;s a clear example of how, when backed by evidence long-held scientific &#8220;truths&#8221; can be overturned [...]]]></description>
