The national debate that’s raging over the idea of teaching “intelligent design” in public schools comes to Idaho this week, as the Rev. Barry Lynn arrives in Boise to speak. Lynn’s in town to speak at an ACLU banquet, but on Friday morning, he’ll give a public lecture at Albertson College in Caldwell entitled “Intelligent Design vs. Evolution” that’s free and open to the public. Lynn is an advocate of separation of church and state who co-hosted the radio show “Pat Buchanan and Company” for two years and also co-hosted a weekly radio program called “Review of the News” with Col. Oliver North. He’s a lawyer as well as a minister. The free lecture will be in Boone Hall, Room 127, at 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
