Quote:
in fact, the judge ruled that ID is not science.
And the irony of all this is that science isn't something that can even be ruled upon by a judge or jury. Scientific theories stand on their own evidence and require no judgement, merely the results of reproducible observations and experiments.
Of course, a judge can rule whether a given textbook is taught in a state-run school, and that's what this was all about.
That's probably the biggest potential long-term damage that this case could have, making people think that science itself can be unilaterally judged or voted upon. That's a dangerous road.
