What I don't understand is why more creationists have not read the transcripts.
​
I think the main reason they have not read the transcripts, especially the testomony from their side, is embaressment. Their side came across sounding like ignorant boobs. They heard enough about how poorly their witnesses did to convince them that they would not be able to bear the humiliation of actually reading the transcript.

But in terms of understanding ID or creationism or Darwinism? I'd think you must be smoking something if you think a court case is where one should learn about science.
​
I think what the others are saying is you could learn about the major flaws in IDist "science" by reading their testimony.
​
I have little doubt that the Dover trial will be used as precedent in similar cases in the future. Maybe if you studied it you would understand why. It was not about learning about science it was about why ID will never be science and should not be taught as if it is.
