Can ID Rise to the Level of Junk Science?
The plaintiff's brief in support of proposed findings of fact in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School Board would suggest not:
In the end, the hours and hours of complicated scientific testimony that the Court heard boils down to a simple conclusion: Intelligent design falls too short of the mark even to merit the label “junk science.” Whatever its merits or demerits might be as a theological claim, therefore, the claim that it could serve a useful pedagogic purpose as science instruction is indefensible.
