A couple comments:

1. it reads as though much of this closing was written months before the trial.

2. The TMLC strategy is glaringly apparent: they are borrowing the Clintonian strategy of "triangulation" and setting up "creationism" as the religious idea that can't be allowed into government schools, Evolution as the standard, boring old fashioned science, and then trying to characterize ID as though it were some sort of bleeding edge science, and that the Dover SChool District is just trying to give their students a "jump" on the latest science developments. Funny, I don't recall the Dover School board falling over itself in a rush to include a statement to be read in Physics class about the viability of String Theory.

The laughable point is the idea that the morons on the Dover School Board are somehow better equipped to divine bleeding edge science theory than, say, the undergrad curriculum committees of the best Universities in the world, none of which teach courses in ID.

You have begun to understand the Wedge. It's the start of true enlightenment.

That is really no different than any other extended trial. all the witnesses had been deposed and everyone knew in advance pretty much what the testimony would be.

You think the closing argument by the plaintiff wasn't written months ago?
