1. Judge Jones wrongly claims there are NO peer-reviewed scientific articles favoring ID.
...This appendix lists such articles as Stephen Meyer's peer-reviewed technical article on the Cambrian explosion and intelligent design in The Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington,

Doesn't count...the lame-duck editor who was also on the board of a YEC group short circuited the normal editorial process of The Proceedings so that the article would avoid review. There is no evidence that the article was circulated to those who would have given it a genuine critical review; it is fair to assume that the "reviewers" were those that the editor and Meyers knew would cause no trouble, outright Creationists or their fellow-travellers. The Board of the Biological Society after the article's surprise publication said that the normal procedures were violated, the topic of the article was inappropriate for the journal, and it should never have been published in The Proceedings.While Meyer's article was printed in a peer reviewed article, there is no evidence the article itself was actually peer reviewed, and the board of the Biological Society effectively unpublished it.

and a more recent technical article on irreducible complexity and intelligent design in the scientific publication Dynamical Genetics.

Dynamical Genetics does not appear to be a peer-reviewed scientific journal, more like a one-shot vanity press for orphaned articles; perhaps useful for those who must publish or perish.

Judge Jones did not deny that these articles were peer-reviewed. He simply ignored them. He also ignored the peer-reviewed academic books like William Dembski's The Design Inference (Cambridge University Press) and Campbell and Meyer's Darwinism, Design and Public Education (Michigan State University Press).

Of course a book is not an article in a reputable scientific journal, the author can write anything he wishes, and any "peer-review" of such a book need not follow the rigorous criticisms that a submitted article in a major scientific journal would; as evidenced by the facts revealed in the trial about Behe's book, which he had boasted received more peer review than a journal article.
