Hey, Samantha’s husband!Oh, no, John Scopes. Arrested…Oh, Colonel Potter! … Oh, no, never mind.Pay close attention to this textbook stuff Genie is talking about. The whole story is more insidious and horrific than they will ever cover in this show.From Pharyngula, I’m seeing reports that this show is not actually showing everywhere. For instance, it is not being shown in Memphis. I wonder how widespread that phenomenon is?So far, they are comparing Intelligent Design to Darwin, with the aid of some living biologists, of course. Shouldn’t they be comparing Paley to modern Biology?I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see if Ken Miller brings god into the evolutionary picture.It is interesting to hear Kitzmiller’s comments on the asinine behavior of the Christian yahoos of Dover.Oh, and now we know why there are so many bible thumping radio stations … I had not heard the story of Lebo, the reporter, and her dad. Fascinating.By the way, Panda’s Thumb has a nice list of books related to Dover, here.Steve Fuller: Right, as soon as we find a snake that spells “John Loves Mary” then we’ll start looking at ID………I also love the fact that Buckingham, supporting ID in dover, got all his info and ideas on the fly and rather ad hoc when somebody sent him a DVD and a book. That vs. the preponderance of evidence produced by a century of scientific research. What a dork. Dork! Dork! Dork!So, we have a mural some kid drew mysteriously dragged out of the school and burned, then we have the evil ID textbook arriving from an anonymous donor. Dover is starting to sound like Minnetonka!I love the smile on the ACLU guy’s face. He looks like he just had a huge bank error in his favor.I also find it astounding that the Dover teachers stuck together and seem to have not had a pro-creationist among them. I don’t know of a school in Minnesota that is not sprinkled with creationists. Is Dover unique in this way?…. OK, I’m going to get a beer now…. I think we might win this one.
