-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, draft copies of the manuscript were subpoenaed for review. It was discovered that previous drafts 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. The substitution of words took place in a draft written in 1987, the same year as the Edwards v. Aguillard case (482 US 578), in which the [[Supreme Court]] ruled that the teaching of [[creation science]] in public schools was unconstitutional.
-In one case, it was shown that the word "creationists" oddly had been only partially replaced with "design proponents," strangely resulting in "cdesign proponentsists," which the [[NCSE]], representing the plaintiffs, 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>
