I watched it on Saturday it was very absorbing. It was interesting how the lawyers had to re-learn about evolution before trial and how much everyone involved learned about what science actually "is" and what it is "not", including Judge Jones who was appointed by Bush and must've found himself in a quandary and even received death threats after his decision that ID was in fact not science. Also the evidence that showed the word creationism was replaced by intelligent design with the obvious typo was enthralling. It could've done without the bad acting though, I would've much preferred the actual people. I really enjoyed this program.

My only problem with the show is that, because Nova is on PBS, and everyone knows PBS is a communist network, it's unlikely the people who really need to see it have the courage to switch over from Larry the Cable Guy.

Watched it last night on DvR.
It was a great show, and actually did a pretty good job of attempting impartiality.
It was very scary, and showed how religious people are willing to bend law as well as their own morals and doctrine to spread 'the word'.
The Christian Board members actually admitted that they thought ID was a good compromise but not as good as creationism.
One of them burned a mural painted by a student because it showed the progression of man from Ape like creature.
Religion is dangerous.

I haven't watched it yet, but I will. I find it a bit amusing what people will use as a 'wedge' issue to divide and conquer the people. As I have said before, this is a non-issue to me. My GOD is unlimited and can do anything, so either way, I don't have a problem with it.

It is a really great program, and simple enough that most Theists should be able to understand it, that is if they watch it at all. I am sure many of them think it was produced by Satan or the Antichrist.
Hopefully at the very least they might see how anything, even their own religion, taken to extremes is bad. Really, really bad.

Yes I've been meaning to watch it. Then for fun afterward, see how accurate the "answersingenesis" web site is in its rebuttal. Given its previous problems with accuracy and misconceptions, I doubt that it will succeed, but one can hope.

Yeah, I saw it. It was really kind of sad.

It's a battle Evolutionists will have to fight for many years.
