As it stands now, the judge was entirely correct. The 'scientiests' that were pushing I.D. obviously had a religious motive, and did not have any
facts on their side. Their entire 'evidence' for Intelligent Design is that there are some areas of unknown in evolutionary theory. Each and every 'scientist' promoting I.D. admitted they thought the 'intelligent designer' was god.
The 'Intelligent Design' book that was being promoted in Dover was merely a 'creation science' book where 'Creation science' was taken out, and 'INtelligent design' was put in.
Before 'I.D.' goes from philosphy/religion to science, it has to do certain things.
1) It has to explain things better than evolution
2) It has to be make testable predictions.
3) It has to have evidence FOR it (rather than just attempts to attack evolution).
4) It has to have a way to falsify it.

Re: Evidence
You see, there is this little problem of dating.
The different sections of the fossils that are on the mountain top show different ages. There are also massive layers, with certain species not intermixing in the layers.
For that to be evidence of a 'flood' there can't be layers of different ages, and there would have to be a more homogenious mixture between the layers. That did not occur, so that is not evidence of a flood.
