The lessons of Dover are two:

(1) Local School Boards are not a good vehicle for a long legal fight, because the electoral turnover is too quick -- as quick as a whim.

(2) Judges make science. In today's culture science is dicta. That is what you wanted, right?

The lesson of Dover (short version):

A local school board stocked with creationists sought to have their particular narrow brand of religion taught as science. They got caught. It cost the school district over a million dollars. The school board got turned out of office.

Yeah, you’re right. better to have the schools indoctrinate a captive audience into Secular Humanism. That’s a much better religion. / sarc

You should step out of your science box. You might think everything in existence is inside the box, but it’s not.
