Ok, NOW i'm pissed at this S.o.B.

The Dover board should gracefully accept a donation of 23 books to its library by a Florida group called DebunkCreation.

The books, by preeminent scientists such as Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan and Richard Dawkins, have been received by the district, but officials say they need to decide whether they're appropriate for the school library. Superintendent Richard Nilsen said the books have to be reviewed to make sure they're scientifically accurate.

Let me get this straight you stupid hack. You take 65 copies of Of Pandas and People, a work which has been scientifically criticized literally to death as having no intrinsic scientific accuracy or value (and has even been withdrawn by the author and the Discovery Institute as being irrelevant to the current "theory", such as it is, of ID), without question and even put it on the recommended reading list.

Yet you say that works by the most respecticted scientific minds of the 20th century have be "reviewed" for accuracy?

By whom? The same science-curriculum committee whose recommendations you've already ignored for the sake of your religion?

I can't wait for Dover to lose this lawsuit.

I want this asshole to pay every single dime of the county's legal fees. Taxpayers shouldn't have to suffer for this guy's absolute stupidity, especially not those who didn't vote for him.

update: all of those books by 20th century scientists were accepted by the reviewing committee and are now in the high school library in the county.

But of course. Haven't you noticed that the standard response to accurate science that doesn't say what you want is to call it "bad science" that needs to be reviewed?

yes, and inaccurate science that says exactly what you want but is the opinion of a (paid for) vocal minority of (sometimes alledged) scientists is Sound Science.

I know their weasel words in this...
