Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial

Robert T. Pennock is a philosopher working on the Avida digital organism project at Michigan State University where he has been full professor since 2000.
 Pennock was a witness in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial, testifying on behalf of the plaintiffs, and described how intelligent design is an updated form of creationism and not science, pointing out that the arguments were essentially the same as traditional creationist arguments with adjustments to the message to eliminate explicit mention of God and the Bible as well as adopting a postmodern deconstructionist language.
 Pennock also laid out the philosophical history of methodological and philosophical naturalism as they underpin to science, and explained that if intelligent design were truly embraced it would return Western civilization to a pre-Enlightenment state.
The Devil in Dover: An Insider's Story of Dogma v. Darwin in Small-Town America is a 2008 book by journalist Lauri Lebo about the "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" intelligent design trial, through her own perspective as a local reporter on the trial as she confronted her own attitudes about organized religion and her father who was a fundamentalist Christian.
Of Pandas and People: The Central Question of Biological Origins is a controversial 1989 (2nd edition 1993) school-level textbook written by Percival Davis and Dean H. Kenyon and published by the Texas-based Foundation for Thought and Ethics (FTE).
 The textbook endorses the pseudoscientific concept of intelligent design—namely that life shows evidence of being designed by an intelligent agent which is not named specifically in the book, although proponents understand that it refers to the Christian God.
 They present various polemical arguments against the scientific theory of evolution.
Kenneth Raymond Miller (born July 14, 1948) is an American cell biologist and molecular biologist who is currently Professor of Biology and Royce Family Professor for Teaching Excellence at Brown University.
 Miller's primary research focus is the structure and function of cell membranes, especially chloroplast thylakoid membranes.
 Miller is a co-author of a major introductory college and high school biology textbook published by Prentice Hall since 1990.
 Miller, who is Roman Catholic, is particularly known for his opposition to creationism, including the intelligent design (ID) movement.
 He has written two books on the subject: "Finding Darwin's God", which argues that acceptance of evolution is compatible with a belief in God; and "Only a Theory", which explores ID and the "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" case as well as its implications in science across America.
Monkey Girl: Evolution, Education, Religion, and the Battle for America's Soul is a 2007 non fiction book about the "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" trial of 2005.
 Author Edward Humes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, interviewed interested parties to the controversy around a school board's decision to introduce the concept of intelligent design into public school lessons on science.
 The book describes in detail the experiences of those caught up in the actions of the school board and the ensuing Dover trial, in the context of the intelligent design movement and the ascendency of the American religious right whose opposition to evolution led them to campaign to redefine science to accept supernatural explanations of natural phenomena.
Michael J. Behe ( ; born January 18, 1952) is an American biochemist, author, and intelligent design (ID) advocate.
 He serves as professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and as a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture.
 Behe is best known for his argument for his stance on irreducible complexity (IC), which argues that some biochemical structures are too complex to be explained by known evolutionary mechanisms and are therefore probably the result of intelligent design.
 Behe has testified in several court cases related to intelligent design, including the court case "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" that resulted in a ruling that intelligent design was not science and was religious in nature.
Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution (1996; second edition 2006) is a book by Michael J. Behe, a professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture.
 In the book Behe presents his notion of irreducible complexity and argues that its presence in many biochemical systems therefore indicates that they must be the result of intelligent design rather than evolutionary processes.
 In 1993, Behe had written a chapter on blood clotting in "Of Pandas and People", presenting essentially the same arguments but without the name "irreducible complexity", which he later presented in very similar terms in a chapter in "Darwin's Black Box".
 Behe later agreed that he had written both and agreed to the similarities when he defended intelligent design at the "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" trial.
John Edward Jones III (born June 13, 1955) is an American lawyer and jurist from Pennsylvania.
 A Republican, Jones was appointed by President George W. Bush as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in February 2002 and was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on July 30, 2002.
 He is best known for his presiding role in the landmark "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District" case, in which the teaching of "intelligent design" in public school science classes was ruled to be unconstitutional.
 In 2014, he ruled that Pennsylvania's 1996 ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
Tammy Kitzmiller, et al. v. Dover Area School District, et al. (400 F. Supp.
 2d 707, Docket No. 4cv2688) was the first direct challenge brought in the United States federal courts testing a public school district policy that required the teaching of intelligent design.
 In October 2004, the Dover Area School District of York County, Pennsylvania, changed its biology teaching curriculum to require that intelligent design be presented as an alternative to evolution theory, and that "Of Pandas and People", a textbook advocating intelligent design, was to be used as a reference book.
 The prominence of this textbook during the trial was such that the case is sometimes referred to as the Dover Panda Trial, a name which recalls the popular name of the Scopes Monkey Trial in Tennessee, 80 years earlier.
 The plaintiffs successfully argued that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and that the school board policy violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
 The judge's decision sparked considerable response from both supporters and critics.
Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial is an award-winning NOVA documentary on the case of "Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District"—which concentrated on the question of whether or not intelligent design could be viewed as science and taught in school science class.
 It first aired on PBS stations nationwide, on November 13, 2007, with many reruns, and features interviews with the judge, witnesses, and lawyers as well as re-enacted scenes using the official transcript of the trial.
