The new creationism
Paul Garner
2009 is of course a significant milestone. It marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.
The evolutionary establishment is celebrating with Darwin-themed events throughout the year and the media are actively promoting the anniversaries too.
Life according to Attenborough
Paul Garner
In November 2005, the iconic figure of Sir David Attenborough returned to our television screens to present yet another ground-breaking natural history series.
‘Life in the Undergrowth’ is a dazzling tour through the world of the land-living invertebrates — insects, bugs, spiders and worms. As we have come to expect from previous Life series, it is a visual treat. Miniature cameras no larger than a seed allow us to view the world from the perspective of the creatures being observed.
