It's one thing to show up anonymously on a political message board and post anti-scientific nonsense like "there's no evidence," and "there are no transitionals." But this is a courtroom. With recognized experts. And cross-examination. And a public record. The world is watching, and we'll have a conclusion that has meaning (not scientific, but political and educational).
There will be movies to come out of this. And at least one TV series. And books. This trial will be a terrific educational event. And probably not to the liking of the creationism/ID-ism crowd. But they'll never quit.
My biggest concern is that the coming movie and TV series will be released near the next election time, and will portray conservatives as idiots. That's always been my concern about dragging this issue into politics.

I, for one, have never had a problem with evolution AND intelligent design being one process.

We had better fall into lockstep w/ the scientists, and the ACLU lawyers that are attacking this school district, why at no charge!, and lo and behold, Republicans will get elected by the Bushel!!

There aren't any liberals attaching themselves to this nonsense (at least none that come to mind) so it's a self-inflicted wound. I'd say that we can hope that the stations leave politics out of it, but when have they ever?

Glad you recognize that the decision at trial will not be a ruling on the scientific merit of either of these two theories, for it cannot be.
