Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design

evil agent writes "CNN is reporting that U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III has ruled that Intelligent Design cannot be discussed in Dover, Pennsylvania biology classes. Dover Area School Board members had previously mandated that Intelligent Design be included in the biology curriculum. According to the judge, 'our conclusion today is that it is unconstitutional to teach ID as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom.'" Update: 12/20 23:40 GMT by J : eSkeptic has a look back at the trial and what led to it. And the Discovery Institute has issued a press release.

    If any one decided to have a look at ALL the facts, and come in with no presumptions then the only result would be to admit that Evolution is simply not possible, and Intellegent design is the only feasible answer. To think that Evolution is still around today is a joke that is not funny anymore. To teach is is schools as fact, when it can't be proven and very good cases can be made to disprove it, is completely ridiculous. The only reason for the "THEORY" of evolution is still espouted by these "scientists" is that people don't face the facts, that we are all created beings, by a masterful Creator. Because if they face the facts they would be forced to face the reality of their existence, and be subject to an ultimate authority and not themsleves - we live in a world where everyone does what is right in his own eyes -. Science proves Intellegent Design - check the facts. Science proves evolutionary theory and the "random chance" assoicated with it as totally invalid. think about it.....
