At the heart of the Dover controversy is the statement’s referral of the students to the library’s “reference” books “Of Pandas and People” (the book donated to the school after a creationist, school board member solicited his Baptist congregation, collected the money, and then tried to obscure it’s orgins, lying in a deposition).

Pandas was written by a creationist too.

Intelligent design people argue that respected scientists disagree. Wrong. No respected scientist accepts ID because it is not science.

Intelligent design people argue that a spirit of free inquiry requires that students be exposed to ID. The spirit of free inquiry requires intellectual honesty and actual examination of facts. Pandas and People fails on both counts. Educators ought not to refer students to erroneous and misleading sources.
