Well, if we didn't before, we now know why the Discovery Institute wanted to stay clear of this case. It's a loser.
They tried to do an end run around the Constitution, and when caught, they lied and lied and lied. Badly. You'd think with all the practice, they'd be better at it.
Okay, ID supporters. Here's your opportunity - time to denounce those on your side who lie to further the cause. Do you support this stealth-agenda approach, and do you support lying about it on the stand?
The Discovery Institute wants to stear clear of this case because they see their Golden Goose being cooked. I've never felt the folks at DI, or any of the big names in creationism, for that matter, actually believed their press releases. These folks are the philosophical children of televangelists -- creationism and its newest incarnation, ID, were simply ways of fleecing the gullible. Now that ID is getting an airing, and it's being shown to be nothing but bloviation, the DI folks stand to lose their major source of income.

What I find amusing is the zeal you evo's consume in pressing whatever advantage you seem to believe exists...I've gotten no straight answer from any of you to this question...our existence is threatened exactly how if a teacher in the Dover School District reads a two minute speech indicating an alternative exists to the sainted Darwinian scrolls...to be studied at some other time and place only if desired...
What DOES the Constitution say about teaching evolution anyway? I have looked and looked and can't find it anywhere. Please help me!
