"That is why the conservative and christian electorate of Dover threw out the creationists. Because the people of Dover wanted their children to learn useful things, and creationism is useless."

NOT TRUE. The reason why the school board through out the Creationists is because two of the defendants were found to have "plotted" to bring religion into a government school; not on the merits of the science of Intelligent Design - ID. The people who voted out these two were embarrassed by the fact that these two stated that the case was about ID and not about Creationism; but the Kitzmiller lawyers found video stating the opposite from them.

The judge in, "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District," decided to relate ID and Creationism which he linked to being religious. The judge did not delve into the merits of whether or not they were different. The judge was not interested on the merits of the science of ID, let alone the science of Creationism. The judge was only interested on whether or not "religion" was being introduced int a government school.

This is the only way Evos win, by taking ID and/or Creationism to courts and/or defining it as religion. Evos don't want to fight it in the battle of scientific discussion in any classroom, or anywhere else for that matter. Ever see, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed?

Either way - the electorate of Dover were neither liberal, nor atheists - but conservative and Christian.

They “defended” the teaching of science in science class.

The judge did delve into the supposed scientific merits of the Incompetent Design philosophy - and like most other people found it was built from the ground up with the intention of being a Trojan Horse for creationism and has on its own no scientific merit.

It is as useless as Creationism.

In the battle of scientific discussion creationists are woefully outgunned. The discussion in science is about what is useful - what models help explain and predict data and lead to useful applications. Creationism is useless in this regard.
