Maybe its necessary...if certainly feels like ID has been taking punches all week.

You noticed that too, huh? :-)

The Dover Panda Trial is not going well for ID. Your lawyers seem to be truly incompetent, and the judge (a GWB appointee, so you can't claim he's another damn liberal) has shown a great deal of latitude to the ACLU in presenting its case, while denying most defense motions. Of course, your side hasn't been up to bat yet, and things may change, but we're running up a big lead.

The funny thing is, in his substantive point here, Harris is correct. The Kansas standards do not teach ID. However, they dictate that students be taught a number of demonstrably false propositions about evolution.

You shouldn't count your chickens before they evolve Professor. The issue in Dover is quite a simple one. Who sets the curriculum for the students in Dover, the school board or the technocrats. All the expert witnesses in the world can't change that because the issue is not evolution or ID, the issue is federalism.

"we're running up a big lead."

In response to the news, Rael was deeply saddened.

Local people wont like the slick ACLU atty's coming in and treating them as if they are stupid and cant make decisions for their children. Whether the plaintiffs win/lose its a minority that cant accept the evo criticism. The trend is on...the majority of people want clarity and common sense brought into the classroom.

Before it is over, I suspect evolution is going to be put on trial. Behe is going to be the key witness for the defense. What may appear to you to be a big lead for the plaintiffs could very well be the defense saving their case for when it is their turn.
