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

Bah.
