But they didn't mention the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
Pastafarianism is dissed yet again.

I note with sadness that there is no mention of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as the Intelligent Designer.
Gotta love the Pastafarian xpost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not a tomato-based sauce. Ideas?
Pesto? Alfredo?

How often do space aliens and time-traveling cell biologists get mentioned in court decisions?
Well, there will always will have been Space Aliens Vs. Time-Traveling Cell Biologists....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, this is also brilliant - re: the disclaimer that the school board required textbooks on evolution to have:
Jones blasted the disclaimer, saying it "singles out the theory of evolution for special treatment, misrepresents its status in the scientific community, causes students to doubt its validity without scientific justification, presents students with a religious alternative masquerading as a scientific theory, directs them to consult a creationist text as though it were a science resource and instructs students to forgo scientific inquiry in the public school classroom and instead to seek out religious instruction elsewhere."
Rock on.
The judge made a point of criticizing the school board members and the "breathtaking inanity" of their decision. “It is ironic that several of these individuals, who so staunchly and proudly touted their religious convictions in public, would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy," he wrote.
“Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an activist judge," Jones wrote. "If so, they will have erred. ... Rather, this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. ... The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.”

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Throw in some shredded mozzarella, diced ham, and a little Italian dressing, wait for the cheese to melt, and serve.

...until time-traveling cell biologists go back in time to remove the case.
Wait, that's already happened.

You'll probably need a cell biologist from the future to do that.
