Evangelism in the Science Classroom.

The other day Randy Barnett posted to The Volokh Conspiracy saying that a Republican candidate who believed in Creationism could never be elected President.    A couple of people wrote him nice e-mails explaining that creationism can mean nothing more extreme than that God set evolution in motion.   a href=http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_02_22-2009_02_28.shtml#1235426099 target=_blankNow he has posted a clarification./anoscripta href=http://www.videnov.com/#1084;#1077;#1073;#1077;#1083;#1080; #1074;#1072;#1088;#1085;#1072;/a/noscript

Of a God enabled evolution Barnett says this:

And this is where he is wrong.    Not so much in the statement as in the assumptions behind it.    Should the matter of God be brought up in a science classroom?  No.  I don’t think it should.   But is there REASON to do so?   Yes, there really is.
