Some reason

The push to force the idea of "Intelligent Design" into science classrooms got a rather high-profile defeat when a Pennsylvania judge barred a PA. school district from teaching said "theory" in a science class.

In an opinion issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge John Jones ruled that teaching "intelligent design" would violate the Constitutional separation of church and state.

"We have concluded that it is not [science], and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents," Jones writes in his 139-page opinion posted on the court's Web site. (Opinion, pdf)

"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," Jones writes.

Of course, this Intelligent Design movement (farce, drama, insert your own word here) will carry on, although it may have gotten the wind knocked out of its sails.
