Changes

The term "'''cdesign proponentsists''' came into being during the [[Kitzmiller vs. Dover Area School District]] trial in [[Pennsylvania]] over the legitimacy of intelligent design as a science.  A crucial piece of the defense (Pro-intelligent design) was a book called [[Of Pandas and People]] which was marketed as a science textbook for middle and high school children. During the trial, previous copies of the book were subpoenaed for review. It was discovered that previous versions of the book had the word creationist or creationism or some form of the term in place of every use of the words intelligent design in later editions.  In one particular case, it was shown that an editor apparently copied and pasted "design proponents" over the word "creationists" but had not even done a proper job resulting in "cdesign proponentsists". This evidence and more is said to have lead to [[John E. Jones III]]'s verdict that Intelligent design was the same as creationism and that the ID movement was an subversive attempt to inject creationism into the classroom.<ref>[http://www.pandasthumb.org/archives/2005/11/missing_link_cd.html Missing link: “cdesign proponentsists”]</ref>
