			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re approaching the end of the Batten blog arc. (&#8220;At last!&#8221;, I hear some people say?) After this one, there will likely be only two more posts. This is all as a result of a weird urge for thoroughness.</p>
<p>So today, for thoroughness, I&#8217;m sharing an article published in the <em>By</em> on 15 March. The <em>By</em> is a weekly addendum (?) to <em>Die Burger</em>, possibly the biggest Afrikaans newspaper. (Correct me if I&#8217;m wrong?) To read it, you&#8217;d have to know Afrikaans, and have good eyesight to make out the letters on the &#8220;Large&#8221; size of the photo below:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugovdm/2358518655/" title="IMG_3560.JPG by hugovdm, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2358518655_9e46e85bdc.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="IMG_3560.JPG" /></a></p>
<p>If you have trouble reading it, you could encourage me to get a Pro flickr account, then you can see a higher resolution image that should be easier to read. Or alternatively I could split the photos into two halves, each viewable at 1024&#215;768. Or you can just sit back and think &#8220;darn, I should subscribe to Die Burger&#8221;. (There, I plugged the newspaper, to soothe my ponderings about copyrights and uploading photos of it. Now I can also say that Die Burger just isn&#8217;t what it should be. The articles disappoint too often. In fact, sometimes, <a href="http://gormendizer.wordpress.com/2007/12/18/trippe-trappe-trone-die-volk-is-deur-die/">Die Burger simply sucks</a>. But the <em>By</em> is cool&#8230;)</p>
<p>What was quite sweet, was that the previous two pages featured an article/interview with Dr Francis Collins, who is a famous religious scientist. Strong scientists with strong religious faiths, making strong statements against creationism and intelligent design, is much what the highly religious South Africa needs. Many simply won&#8217;t listen to science evangelists that are openly and publicly atheistic.</p>
<p>The Francis Collins interview:</p>
