Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day of the trial.

Another day, another batch of lies.

Does anyone think the Church gave the books to the school to NOT advance a religious purpose?

It's seems to be wrapping up quickly.

Looks like the school board is anxious to lose and move on to the next level.

Supt. Richard Nilsen sent him to the Messiah College seminar on March 26, 2003.

Continuing ed?

I just got back from a 'panel discussion' on ID vs. evolution. Paul Nelson of DI was there, and he was about as understated as I've ever heard a DIer be. He said DI pleaded with Dover not to institute the policy, and then pleaded with Thomas More not to defend them. They seem resigned to lose, and they're just hoping it will be a narrowly written decision, and not something that officially deems ID to be a religious belief.

A policy that had a religious purpose would violate the First Amendment’s establishment clause.

This is the only way your side can keep a monopoly in public schools. If you could persuade the public, you would. If you had the proof, you'd bring it out. If you even had convincing evidence, you parade it down every main street in every American city and town.

But you don't have a persuasive argument, so you don't present it. You don't have the convincing evidence, so you just pretend you do. And even though only 12 percent think materialistic evolution is true, you want to impose your illogical, eclectic and unpersuasive worldview on a captive audience of children with the tax dollars of those who oppose such nonsense.

BTW- another reason evolution is highly suspect: After 150 years of supposedly compiling evidence, monopolizing public schools and colleges, enjoying the support of liberals and the liberal media, and using the ACLU to suppress their opposition, and spending untold billions on research, we are still unpersuaded. And it's not because 88% of America is stupid. It's because evolutionists couldn't make a persuasive case if they had the entire GNP to spend doing it.

".... and that the ninth-grade biology book was “laced with Darwinism.”"

Complaining that a high school bio text is "laced with Darwinism" is like complaining that a high school math book is "laced with Algebra," a Chemistry text is "laced with Bohrism," or a Physics text is "laced with Newtonianism." No sh@t, Sherlock!

I understand that some of the anti-science folks are at war with reality, but really, this is too rich!

[ValenB4]

Baksa received a memo dated April 1, 2003, from then-Principal Trudy Peterman that said a board member wanted to give creationism equal time with evolution.

And thus Trudy Peterman, in the greatest April Fools' Day prank in human history, set in motion the ID controversy.

...the events simply coincided.
