The Dover “Trial”, Who Cares About Evidence?
Was curious about what Judge Jones had to say about his decision in the case brought against the Dover board of education. The Dover Board was trying to include teaching materials friendly to intelligent design in their public classrooms. A few parents objected filed the complaint.
Oddly, he had nothing to say about the evidence that the defence presented. But, he had lots to say about their “preparation” and “delivery” in court. So, because the prosecution was “on top of their game” as they say, judge Jones decided the way he did. I wonder if he even cared at all about the evidence they presented.
God deals with people very differently. He could care less about a person’s credentials, or their education. He doesn’t care about someone’s prestige or position in the community. He deals with each of us as individuals at the same level of humanity.
He looks at the evidence of our faith in Him. Why, is He an egotist or something? Absolutely not! He designed us, our world, the universe and everything in it! He knows what He’s doing! To have faith in Him as our Creator is to acknowledge reality.
From what i can tell, the Dover School Board was found guilty of showing evidence of their faith in their God and their commitment to the children in their district.
Because judge Jones was impressed more by presecutors’ performance, the Dover Board was required to shell out nearly 2 million dollars in “court costs” and forbidden to use any teaching materials that mentioned intelligent design in any way, shape, or form. So, our high courts are going American Idol. What a shame!
