The law settles disputes

It's baffling in fact. The law is strictly about legal rules, precedent, etc,.....it is not about scientific truth.
You're absolutely right. And this is exactly what happened, the trial wasn't about scientific truth, but about the dispute that ID is scientific truth.
Like this:
ID Peoples: Intelligent Design is science.
Science: Intelligent Design is not science.
ID Peoples: Yes it is, Intelligent Design is science.
Science: No, it really isn't.
ID Peoples: Yes, it is.
Science: No, sorry, it isn't.
ID Peoples: Yes, Intelligent Design is science and we're going to court to get a judge to force you to acknowledge so.
Science: Alright, lets go to court then.
Court: Intelligent Design is not science.
Science: Told you.
ID Peoples: Oh poo, well the courts don't mean anything anyway.
