"To be sure, Darwin's theory of evolution is imperfect. However, the fact that a scientific theory cannot yet render an explanation on every point should not be used as a pretext to thrust an untestable alternative hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom or to misrepresent well-established scientific propositions"
(Judge John Jones)
The above written quote is what a Judge in Pennsylvania used to rule that Intelligent Design has no place in science classes. For those of you who can't make any sense out of the quote, it can simplifed as; The theory of evolution may be imperfect but Intelligent Design is, for the lack of a better word, "Bull Shit".
Though this ruling is a major victory for people who actually use their brains once in a while, I am sure the idiotic backers of Intelligent Design will appeal or try again in some other school district. Eventually, politics will determine what is taught in science classes and not science itself, which is very unfortunate.

Keep in mind, the school board members who pushed Intelligent Design in that county in the first place, all got voted out of office a month or so before the judge rendered his judgement...
Others will think twice before trying this me thinks...
PS: Word Verification is annoying...
