"An excellent overview and analysis of the Kitzmiller, et al vs. Dover School District trial that pitted Intelligent Design against Evolution. The author shows not only the events and decisions surrounding the trial, but also the history of the Intelligent Design movement. Interspersed through the narrative is a discussion of the "controversy" with a point-by-point rebuttal of the most popular creationist arguments. The writing style is incredibly readable. The author is able to take a complex and confused situation and make it very accessible and easy to understand. This book is a must read."
"So far this is one of the most frustrating books I've ever read. Frustrating not in the sense that the writing is bad or the story indecipherable, but frustrating in that it contains a cast of characters (creationists and intelligent design proponents) who I constantly want to yell at. Their ignorance and desire to impose their moral beliefs is both frightening and frustrating. Other than that, this is a fine book, which I haven't been able to put down since starting earlier this week."
"So very interesting and well written. Tells the story of the recent Dover PA court case concerning the teaching of evolution and intelligent design in the classroom. It includes a bumbling school board, religious fundamentalism, lawyers, scientists, "Dr. Dino," the monkey dance, and other insanity. I recommend it."
"Fascinating read about the Dover PA court case around the conflict of teaching evolution versus intelligent design. Intelligent design being creationism in disguise. Having been raised to believe the Christian perspective was compatible with evolution/Darwinism, this book was an eye opener. The real issue is whether science and religion mix in a school setting. Sadly our society continues to be divided on issues of religion especially where public education is concerned. In most settings, science as theory/method etc. is one subject. Religion is touched on more thoroughly than generations past because it is now part of a more complete and honest perspective of history. We no longer deny the impact or influence it has held in shaping our past. It is assumed that a family's own religious stance is taught at home and church. Unfortunately, as an educator, we are often lumped together as secular humanists because we fulfill our legal responsibility to keep public schools a neutral ground, regardless of what our personal spiritual persepctive may be."
