I don't want to start a separate thread for it, but here's an interesting article from the York Daily Record -- a local paper that's been providing good coverage for the trial:
Professor to testify about 'wedge' plan. Excerpts:

Today, William Dembski will likely be brought up again. Barbara Forrest, a Southeastern Louisiana University philosophy professor, is expected to testify that the intelligent design movement, of which Dembski is a leader, is closely linked to creationists and conservative Christians. In Forrest's expert witness report, she cites Dembski's writings and his Web site as primary sources.

But in Dover Area School District's First Amendment battle over intelligent design, now entering its second week, Dembski won't get his day in court. Initially slated as an expert witness for the defense, he was dropped from the case because of a dispute over lawyer representation.

Forrest's testimony will focus on the "Wedge Strategy," what she says is the long-term plan of Dembski and Discovery to replace materialism with "a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions."

Some information about the "Wedge Strategy":

Discovery Institute's "Wedge Project". Replacing science with theism.
The Wedge at Work. The Discovery Institute's war against reason.
The "Wedge Document": "So What?" The Discovery Institute defends the Wedge document.

It appears the purveyors of the ID cult are jumping off this sinking ship portside and poopside.

You know, one of the unexpected side effects of this trial will be to get the leaders to testify under oath to a question I've been asking here for two months -- what do ID advocates believe?

Here are two questions they will probably have to answer, under oath.

1. How old is the earth?
2. Is common descent a fact?

Their answers are not likely to make creationists happy.
