Thank God...An Intelligently Designed Ruling!
I have not, as yet, had a chance to peruse all 130+ pages of the ruling in Kitzmiller v. Dover School Board court case. However, from what little I have seen, it appears that Judge John Jones (an alliteratively named jurist, if ever there were one!) has ruled on the side of science.
One favorite highlight that I have seen is posted below. I wonder if the folks in Kansas will reconsider their redefinition of science after reading it:
To be sure, Darwin's theory of evolution is imperfect. However, the fact that a scientific theory cannot yet render an explanation on every point should not be used as a pretext to thrust an untestable alternative hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom or to misrepresent well-established scientific propositions.
Preach on, Brother Jones! Remember the teachings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Intelligent design isn't a valid scientific argument!
Can I get an Amen from the crowd?
