They're giving high fives over at Panda's Thumb. Our side thinks he hit it out of the park.
Of course evolution is not a fact. It's a theory.
I've not visited that site.

Unless one reads the actual transcript, it's hard to tell. Based on the article in the paper today, Miller didn't even come close to hitting it out of the park. The cross-examination of Miller was not completed yesterday, so it will be interesting to see how today went. With a five week trial, this is just getting started. i don't think miller is going to be as strong a witness as some on the evolution side think.

In other words, you can't state that it is true without reservation? Isn't that what the ID camp has be saying for years? There are a lot of evolutionists who claim that evolution is an established fact; and many of the pro-evolutionists on FR are among them.
Behe's testimony is going to be very interesting and I would suggest the same concerning Phillip Johnson, if he testifies.
This may or may not wind up being a battle the ACLU should have sat out.
Talkorigins.org says it is a fact and a theory.

Kind of funny, in a Marie Antoinette way.
>>In October 2004, the Dover board voted 6-3 to require teachers to read a brief statement about intelligent design to students before classes on evolution. The statement says Darwin’s theory is “not a fact” and has inexplicable “gaps,” and refers students to an intelligent-design textbook for more information.<<
Sounds like the teachers still teach evolution, but have to acknowledge it's just a theory, just as you proudly proclaim (now). If they want other info on ID, which is not taught, they are given a reference.
But of course a brief reference to ID will bring down evolution.
