NOVA Special “Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial”
On Tuesday, November 13th at 8 pm, PBS stations will air a special 2-hour NOVA episode “Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial” about the Kitzmiller et al v. Dover Area School Board trial, which ruled that teaching Intelligent Design in public school violates the constitutional separation of church and state. MCFS President Robert T. Pennock was an expert witness in the trial and was interviewed for the NOVA documentary. Audio excerpts of his interview appear on the NOVA web site in the section on Defining Science.
Dr. Pennock was also interviewed for a show that will air locally on WKAR-TV following NOVA at 10 pm. “After the Trial: A Second Look” focuses on how the trial has affected creationism activism in Michigan. The show also features Rep. Brian Palmer (R-Romeo) who has sponsored several of the Intelligent Design bills in the state that MCFS has had to deal with.
