THE DECISION this week by U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III
declaring unconstitutional the Dover, Pa., school board's advocacy of
"intelligent design" is not binding on any other jurisdiction. In
practical terms it doesn't matter even in Dover, where voters recently
tossed out all but one of the school board members responsible for
ensuring that high school biology students get advised of this
"alternative" to classical evolutionary theory. It is nonetheless an
important decision, both because it exhaustively documents how the
theory of intelligent design is not science but cleverly repackaged
creationism and because it rightly insists that such a religion-infused
idea has no place in public schools. It therefore represents a model
for judicial consideration of the proliferating effort to use
intelligent design to undermine the teaching of biology.

Any community that is worried about the ability of its students to
compete in a global economy would be wise to keep supernatural
explanations out of its science classes.
