That does sound close to Georgia, but the sentence "Intelligent design is an explanation of the origin of life that differs from Darwin's view," makes it tougher, because it suggests that evolution was pre-coded by God, and there is no scientific evidence for that at all. That is not a theory, but a religious leap of faith. What does the word "explanation" mean? It is not a scientific one, but a religious one, which would not be mentioned absent a religious leap of faith, since as I said the explanation has no scientific evidence supporting it.

And then there is the origin of life bit. Does that mean non life flipping to life, or the evolution of life? If it is the flip, it is fair to say nobody knows, but to suggest ID has a theory about it, can only mean a religious theory. If it refers only to evolution, see above.

Torie rules like the judge did. But it is a tentative ruling.

Well, you're sharp enough to identify the differences between this case and Cobb County and make an argument to that end. Sadly, you don't have much company here. Or maybe not so sadly.
