The Dissent from Darwinism

I am a CSC supporter, and know for sure that they had asked the Dover school District not to enact the ruling that they did, that went to court.
They didn’t want a “Scopes Trial” that early in their history. Judges are particularly ill-suited to rule on what is good science.

We went over this before. This is a type of double speak. At the same time, they were endorsing the Kansas Education Board Hearings, which were equally controversial.

The Dover trial was a circus, and the tie clip analogy can be easily countered. The Center for Science and Culture actually counseled the Dover School District NOT to take the approach they took. It was no more a disaster for ID than the Scopes Trial was for evolution.

However, at the SAME TIME, they were encouraging the much bigger circus of the Kansas Hearings:

Kansas evolution hearings

You can’t tell only half the story. We’ve even asked DI employees directly about this, and they have demurred: ID and Science Classes.
