		DOVER, Pa., Sept. 23 - Sheree Hied, a mother of five who believes that God created the earth and its creatures, was grateful when her school board here voted last year to require high school biology classes to hear about "alternatives" to evolution, including the theory known as intelligent design.

		The Dover School Board had voted to require biology teachers at the high school to read a statement to students that asserted that the scientific theory of evolution was just a theory, not a fact, and presented “intelligent design” as an alternative to the theory of evolution.
		Dover’s intelligent design policy was overturned on December 20, 2005, when Judge Jones issued a 139-page opinion, ruling in favor of the plaintiffs.
		The Dover case has been covered extensively by regional, national and international media, with articles appearing in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the York Daily Record, the York Dispatch, and many other daily and weekly papers.

	TCS Daily - Descent of Man in Dover
		Dover Area School District in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has been billed as a test of whether teaching intelligent design in a science class amounts to a state establishment of religion.
		For the Dover district shortchanges students on two scientific matters in those guidelines: first, by characterizing intelligent design as a theory of biological evolution to be taught in science classrooms, and secondly, by foregoing what science says about the origin of life.
		Now let's revisit the Dover Area school board's reluctance to discuss in science class the "origin of life." Although the science of life's origin is in its infancy, it is an interesting scientific topic and should not be shunted aside, as the school board insists ("Note: Origins of life will not be taught").
