[asa] Science as Christian vocation

For the past few years, I've been researching the religious lives & beliefs
of several prominent American scientists from the Scopes trial era. The
latest issue of "Seminary Ridge Review," published by the Lutheran
Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, contains one of these: a study of how S
C Schmucker, a leading popularizer of evolution and eugenics, made science
education his Christian vocation. I hardly share his very, very liberal
theology, any more than I share his views on eugenics -- which I believe
were closely connected. The essay is now available online, at the journal's
web site.

Given the range of Schmucker's activities and the nature of his theological
views, perhaps this article would be good to discuss here?
