Trial update from the York Daily Record. Glad I don't live in this town.

Ex-Dover board member says belief in God was questioned

Daily Record/Sunday News
Thursday, September 29, 2005

After Casey Brown quit the school board Oct. 18, she testified today, two board members questioned her belief in God.

Brown was the morning’s sole witness in the fourth day of the Dover school district trial over intelligent design, in federal court in Harrisburg. She said Bill Buckingham, after she handed in her resignation, called her an atheist and accused her and her husband Jeff Brown, also a former school board member, of destroying the school board.

The Browns announced they were resigning from the board immediately after it voted to include intelligent design in biology class.

Months later, board member Alan Bonsell also questioned her faith, Casey Brown testified. “He told me I would be going to hell,” Brown said.

After court broke for lunch, Bonsell denied making that remark.

Casey Brown will be cross-examined this afternoon.

Now you have to ask yourself. Would a Creationist lie?
