Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial 1x112

PEABODY AWARD WINNER, 2008

On September 26, 2005, a group of citizens, scientists and lawyers gathered in the tiny town of Dover, Pennsylvania, for a landmark trial. At the heart of the case was a simple question: Did the Dover school board violate the First Amendment of the US Constitution establishing the separation of church and state when they asked high school biology teachers to characterize evolution as “just a theory”? Using exact testimony, NOVA dramatizes key moments of the trial and asks: Is Intelligent Design fighting a losing battle, or has the war just begun?
