Intelligent Design on Trial

This isn't new, but I just got around to watching it. It's a 2-hour "Nova" episode on a case, Kitzmiller v. Dover, that I've been researching for a project about the landmark defeat of the attempt to sneak the intelligent design textbook "Of Pandas and People" into the science classes in Dover, Pennsylvania. The trial dramatizations are kinda cheesy, but this show covers the saga quite thoroughly.

The good guys didn't win too often in the last 8 years. This time, they did.

And keep the link bookmarked for the next time some chowderhead tries to tell you that evolution is "just a theory."

    Finally, you're tackling a commercial, high concept project. Sounds riveting.

  2. You're actually sneering at and ridiculing someone for NOT being commercial and high concept?

    Good Lord.

    What's it like to be you?
