The truth is your best defense. The school board members are perjurers. Dishonest charlatans.

A couple of my favorite examples (out of *many*) of clear perjury by these so-called "good Christians" are:

1. Former Dover Area School Board member Bill Buckingham stated under oath during the trial that said he never read about his activities on the school board in the newspapers and never talked to anyone about them. He also said he never mentioned creationism at school board meetings or in the press or anywhere.

The plaintiffs then played a Fox 43 TV interview from June 2004 in which Buckingham said, "My opinion, it's OK to teach Darwin, but you have to balance it with something else, such as creationism."

2. Buckingham also said that he didn't know where the 60 copies of the "ID" book, "Of Pandas and People" had come from. That's pretty funny, since Buckingham himself had asked for donations at his church for the book, raised $850 for the purpose, then wrote a check dated Oct. 4, 2004, to Donald Bonsell, the father of board member Alan Bonsell, for that amount with a note saying the money was for "Pandas" books.

P.S. since you saw fit to post your junk to me I will comment that your anti-Christian crusade cloaked in science grows tiring and as always is transparently obvious.

Again -feel free to share it with the trolls and morally devoid. -- If I have to read your anti-Christian rhetoric let it be by accident alone if you continue without being banned -do not include me in your postings while they continue this way...

Also worth considering re: the mendacious behavior under oath of at least two defendants in the case, are the judge's comments in the Dover decision:

Finally, although Buckingham, Bonsell, and other defense witnesses denied the reports in the news media and contradicted the great weight of the evidence about what transpired at the June 2004 Board meetings, the record reflects that these witnesses either testified inconsistently, or lied outright under oath on several occasions, and are accordingly not credible on these points. p105

Defendants' previously referenced flagrant and insulting falsehoods to the Court provide sufficient and compelling evidence for us to deduce that any allegedly secular purposes that have been offered in support of the ID Policy are equally insincere. p132
