As opposed to dumb design? :)
I heard a report on the trial on a Phoenix talk radio station this morning. This particular station I think may have an anti-evolution bias, but they didn't let it show.
I think you're right. The BBC is looking for ways to bash dumb Americans. Thanks to the anti-evos out there.
Read part of the complaint. Can't wait for the plaintiffs to provide proof that the evolutionary process leads to the appearance of new species. I suspect they will not be able to do so.
Also, is there a witness list?

We should send a few reporters over there to take a look at the looney limeys.
My periodic, obligatory bump and thanks for all the pings post.
If it's on the Beeb and in the NYT, I'd be very surprised if it doesn't get some play in Japan.

You'll be disappointed. This case won't cover that. It will cover the evidence that the school board adopted this standard specifically as religious indoctrination.
And the school board will lose.
They don't have to. Evolution isn't on trial. The issue is whether the Dover policy passes the Lemon test.
Sure fine, but does the average Japanese care? I know and work with a wide assortment from fundamentalist Christian to Atheist and no one has ever mentioned it. They certainly talked about Katrina which is something "the Whole World is Watching".
That there's so much international interest in a trial over a school board issue in a small American town is amazing. That this doesn't come to the level of Katrina coverage, well, duh.
I doubt it.
Well, how much international interest in small town school board issues is "normal".
Any such issue at the Mesa Arizona school board that brought in reporters from the London Guardian, the BBC, and the NYT (which has considerable international readership), I'd think is extraordinary.
If you don't agree. Ok. (I'll just bop on down the the next school board meeting and find out how many international reporters are there)
International Interest? Some British reporters?
Like I said the British reporters are there to feel superior. I don't think anyone despises America right now more than the British elite.
Go to Google, search (in news) on Dover evolution. You'll get almost 400 hits. Many are from international sources.
Hoping science/common sense prevails (yes, I'm talking about evolution, not "intelligent design" dogma).
Bring back ModernMan!
You know science is not about "proof" but rather explaining observations with theory (short version; see PH's list).
But about that new species. How about Homo sapiens?
