which the Judge's accepted definition of science doesn't allow for.

Behe and the ID crowd can't get ID accepted as science unless they change the definition of science. The Intelligent Design proselytizers are kind of like the gay marriage people. They want to redefine words and practices to accomodate and include their personal beliefs. Who'd have thought the gay marriage proponents and the ID proponents would use the exact same tactics...and have so much in common?

Interesting analogy.

You're right, of course. ID proponents are arguing openly for a change in the definition of science. That is discussed in the Dover decision as well.

Whether or not that change in definition is warranted is one, if not the, key question in this whole debate.
