Judge ruled against a strawman, not ID. It was obvious from his bizarre ruling.
Have you read the whole ruling [available online]? I have, and I do not consider his ruling bizarre in the least. Quite the opposite, I consider it right and proper. If anything, by going into a long consideration of the nature and history of ID and concluding that whatever else it might be, science it is not, the judge did yeoman's work for other judges who might have to sort out future cases. ID belongs in a seminary, or in a sunday school. It has no place in the science class of a public school.
