<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>DER SPIEGEL in today's account of the judical
defeat of "Intelligent Design" wrote as follows: </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2><FONT face=Verdana>"Richter John Jones erklärte in der
Urteilsbegründung, es sei erstaunlich, dass mehrere Mitglieder des Schulrats
stolz ihren Glauben in der Öffentlichkeit verkündeten, sich aber nicht
scheuten, zu lügen". In translation:"<EM><STRONG>Judge Jon Jones declared in
his judgement that it is astonishing, that a number of members of the
Schoolcouncil proclaimed proudly their faith, <U>but did not heistate to
lie</U></STRONG>".</EM> Astonishing and wonderful of the Judge! The very
essence of science is disinterested integrity, and that has been lacking in
Intelligent Design and its various mutants. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
