Nova has made an excellent documentary about the Dover, PA. "Intelligent Design" trial. Watch it because this thing is a train wreck for creationists. It was one of the few times I actually sought a decision from a trial for entertainment on a saturday night. The honorable John Jones III is eloquent in his 139 page criticism, describing the defense as breathtakingly inane, but more appropriately he explains that "In an era we're trying to cure cancer, prevent pandemics, trying to keep science and math on the cutting edge, to introduce and teach bad science to ninth grade students makes very little sense to me."
