Victory for Science

MSNBC is reporting that Judge John E. Jones III has ruled against teaching intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in science classes.

The full text of his ruling, all 139 pages, can be found as a PDF file here.

As a scientist, teacher, science fiction writer, science textbook editor -- and a religious observer -- I'm relieved.

Now, back to Kansas.

I'd love a hard copy, but printing 139 pages seems excessive.

From everything I heard, Jones is a rational man. Glad to see that was the case.

My favorite part is where he discusses how as Panda was being re-written around the time of Edwards, you can see clearly that ID=Creationism.

I've just posted a selection of my favorite quotes from his ruling.
