| − | The term "'''cdesign proponentsists'''" came into vogue use by evolutionists during and after 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]], 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 words "creationist," "creationism" and other similar words and phrases in place of every use of the words "intelligent design" and similar words and phrases in later editions. In a single, isolated case, it was shown that the word "creationists" oddly had been only partially replaced with "design proponents," strangely resulting in "cdesign proponentsists," which evolutionists quickly touted as "the missing link between creationism and intelligent design."<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/3416_id.html Nova transcript, "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial", PBS.org]</ref> [[John E. Jones III]]'s verdict (which does not mention the phrase "cdesign proponentsists") was that intelligent design was the same as creationism and that Dover School Board's attempt to allow it to be taught in schools violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.<ref>[http://www.pamd.uscourts.gov/kitzmiller/kitzmiller_342.pdf PDF file of Judge Jones' Kitzmiller ruling]</ref> | + | The term "'''cdesign proponentsists'''" came into vogue use by evolutionists during and after the [[Kitzmiller vs. Dover Area School District]] trial in [[Pennsylvania]] over the legitimacy of intelligent design as a science.
