Trial judge agreed that the prosecution had proved:
Intelligent Design is just another name for Creationism, which the Supreme Court had already decided could not be taught in public schools.
It was demonstrated that the suggested textbook, Of Pandas and People had itself evolved in response to environmental pressures. When it was first published in 1983 it was called Creation Biology, then Biology and Creation in 1986 version. Then, after court decisions banning Creation Science (on the basis that it wasn't), it got a new title in 1987, Biology and Origins. By1989 it had become Of Pandas and People, with all mentions of "creator" cut-and-pasted to "intelligent designer".
The judgement said "...we have addressed the seminal question of whether ID is science. We have concluded that it is not, and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents."
"Both Defendants and many of the leading proponents of ID make a bedrock assumption which is utterly false. Their presupposition is that evolutionary theory is antithetical to a belief in the existence of a supreme being and to religion in general...witnesses in this trial repeatedly testified that evolution in no way denies the existence of a divine creator."
"To be sure, the 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 mis-represent well-established scientific propositions.
