SPEAKING OF BLASPHEMY TRIALS (via Robert Schwartz):

‘Analysis’ of evolution is a threat, lawyer says: Attorney in Pa. case warns Ohio standards are asking for trouble (Catherine Candisky, February 13, 2006, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH)

The phrase critical analysis of evolution in Ohio’s high-school biology standards might appear harmless, but an attorney in a Pennsylvania intelligent-design trial says it invites creationism into the classroom and threatens religious freedom.

"When you see ‘critical analysis of evolution,’ you really need to look at what’s behind that. Who? Why?" said Eric Rothschild, a Philadelphia attorney who represented parents in a lawsuit against the Dover, Pa., school board.

"Why is there this need for critical analysis of evolution?"

It's not the sort of faith that could withstand critical analysis.
