Seriously....it sounds like the school board has some knuckle-draggers as attorneys in this case. More proof of evolution, I suppose.
sounds like Pennock offers the usual hand waving arguments that biologists have been trying to get by with for 50 years. The best thing to do is to teach nothing about origins of life because nobody knows, and it doesn't give fellas like you any pretence for arrogating an extra 50 I.Q. points to yourself over anybody that disagrees with you.
It isn't the first slap-down, either. I don't think Thomas Monaghan got nearly enough for his million dollars.
What attorneys aren't?-)
