I am an Intelligent Designer

Today a decision was rendered in the Intelligent Design trial from Dover, PA. The Federal District Court Judge's ruling reads like a script from the daily show. It's really a shame the daily show is on vacation for the next 2 weeks because they would have a lot of fun with this. The Judge drops this gem in his decision,

The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID Policy. It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy."


Proponents of Intelligent Design claim ID is not a religious theory, yet, Pat Robertson says that by voting out ID people in Dover, PA "voted god out their city". Hmm.

For good articles on the subject search Google News. I found this editorial on the subject, and I think it's pretty funny. If you are really bored read the entire 139 page decision. Or just skip to page 136 for the conclusion.
