9. Well, we know the outcome already

Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, right?

[pokerfan]

10. Yeah

You have to love how Behe under oath, quote-mined biologist http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/faculty01/derosier.html">David DeRosier to make it seem like DeRosier supported creationism intelligent design.

The highlight is, of course, http://www.google.com/search?q=cdesign+proponentsists">cdesign proponentsists and the school board members caught perjuring themselves.

(I still watch documentaries about WWII and I know how that turned out.)

11. Thanks for the heads-up

It was well worth watching. I really was not aware of the extent to which the Kitzmiller case handed ID people, er, "cdesign proponentsists", their asses on a platter.

Michael Behe came out looking like a fool. I find it hard to write the pro-ID board members off as simply well-meaning hypocrites. They really are part of a conspiracy.
