The coolest quaker ever is at it again, and this time at a national level. This issue seems to be getting hot, as in, not just small interest groups like it's always been kind of hot. There's a storm a'coming.

Anyway, if anyone happens to see Professor Pennock, just tell him we're happy that he does what he does.

I happen to see Pennock twice a week for class, Evolution vs. Creationism, good times, but if you want good trial coverage you should check out national center for science education's website www2.ncseweb.org/wp/
the big news in the trial right now is that the Discovery Institute (main home of Intelligent Design) seems to be admitting defeat by pulling out almost all of their witnesses, they originally had 8, they are down to 3, two of which already testified, they are also changing their strategy, in a panel discussion on C-SPAN a member of the discovery institute claimed that they never wanted intelligent design in schools they only want to "teach the controversy" they are also changing the text book "Of Pandas and People", all references to Intelligent Design are being replaced with Abrupt Appearance

in short we're seeing the same transition that happened after the 1987 case where it was ruled that creation-science couldn't be taught in schools (Then they changed creator to designer and creation-science to intelligent design)
