The so-called 'wedge' document, unearthed by the claimants in the Dover School Board trial, shows that it is a calmly cynical scheme.
1. Get ID or whatever it morphs into out from under the poisoned umbrella of creationism, so that it can appear like 'a science', maintaining that it's just the facts, ma'am, we have no idea just who the intelligent designer might be, omigosh.
2. Get it 'equal time' in classrooms, and elsewhere in the curricula (so that, in fact, magical explanations for the universe get taught in a) Sunday School, b) divinity classes; and c) science classes too
3. Use it's newly-strengthened position, as 'just another theory', to lever 'evil-lution' out into the cold, where it buh-longs.
