The result is irrelevant. It is only one example where the DI tries to push ID far outside the scope of any scientific merit. They claim ID is purely scientific, but in truth it can't stand on scientific merits so they have a large PR and legislative campaign to support it. Yes, they actually have what is essentially a PR/lobbying arm that contacts legislators, school boards, teachers and parents.
I have a HUGE distrust for a "science" that got popular due to political, social and/or religious motives. Case in point: Global Warming.
Schoolboards have done far more to subvert science by choosing to hire teachers who know more about football than chemistry and yet have installed them in chemistry labs.
That's another issue. A very valid one for sure, but still another issue.
About the school boards. A court is no more competent to decide a scientific issue than a school board is. And scientists are as prone to lobby as anyone. Look at the huge lobbying effort for embryonic stem cell research, even though it raised difficult moral issues. What they were looking at was funding that would keep them employed for a decade or more.
-I fail to see how any result of the Kitzmiller case could “subvert” something s broad as “modern science. RS

-—Modern science is subverted from historical science ~ much more politicized, and even, gasp, msm controlled. Mainly follow the money you’ll find the influence and corruption. MyReply

-—The education majors I knew in college knew nothing about much of anything (most esp. neither football nor chemistry) and freely admitted theirs was an easy degree. They did know a lot about liberal issue and women’s rights though. Most also confessed they wanted a ‘Mrs degree’ too. MyReply
