Intelligent Design Proponents Present Effective Witnesses

The Washington Post carried an interesting article on Friday on the progress of the trial in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District-- the case involving the propriety of teaching about Intelligent Design. (See prior posting.) The article, by Post reporter Michael Powell, was titled "No Easy Victory Ensues In Legal Battle Over Evolution". In it, Powell says: "[B]ringing a legal case against intelligent design is a tricky business. The small band of scientists who publicly support intelligent design are able debaters, and, as became clear when [biochemistry professor Michael J.] Behe took the stand, they do not sound remotely like William Jennings Bryan, the lawyer who eight decades ago in Tennessee invoked biblical authority to decry evolution."
