Kitzmiller V. Dover was the first legal test of the
constitutionality of the teaching of Intelligent Design in the public
schools. A conservative, Republican, churchgoing judge was
unconvinced that ID was valid science, or anything more than a sham to
introduce creationism under another name into the public schools.
Dr. Eugenie Scott and her staff at the National Center for Science
Education were advisers to the plaintiffs legal team. She will present
a behind the scenes description of what it was like to participate as
science advisers in a high-profile, historically significant
case. But whither creationism? Now that intelligent design
has been struck down, what can we predict anti-evolutionists will do to
continue their fight? And, what should be the reaction of the
scientific community?
