Dover - Introduction

Judge Jones’ opinion stretches to 139 pages. There are two main sections to his arguments after his legal background and introductory sections.

The first (Section E p14-90) deals with his application of the “Endorsement Test” to the case. The second (Section F p90-132)deals with his application of the Lemon test to the case.

It is the first of these two main sections with which I am concerned. It is in this section that he seeks to present the history of ID and to determine whether it is Science or not.

If the Judge had limited his judgement to section F then I probably would not be very interested in it… but when a Judge is presenting a verdict concerning the history of ID and coming to a final verdict on whether ID is science or not then I cannot help but be interested.
