More Shoes Dropping

Thud, redux:

"Intelligent design" cannot be mentioned in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district, a federal judge said Tuesday, ruling in one of the biggest courtroom clashes on evolution since the 1925 Scopes trial.

For the exact same reasons I wrote about earlier:

Jones wrote that he wasn't saying the intelligent design concept shouldn't be studied and discussed, saying its advocates "have bona fide and deeply held beliefs which drive their scholarly endeavors."

But, he wrote, "our conclusion today is that it is unconstitutional to teach ID as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom."

It's not science. You want to teach it, try the philosophy or religious studies classes. Or, even better, how about your church?

heard one of the "interested parties" last night going off on the comments that the judge made. Apparently, his opinion on the case included that people were lying, being unscientific, etc., and that seems to have miffed a few folks.
