PLoS Genetics published a remarkable interview of the Katzmiller vs. Dover judge by a UCSF geneticist, Jane Gitschier: Taken to School: An Interview with the Honorable Judge John E. Jones, III
Worth checking out, if only to reiterate how totally Intelligent Design was eviscerated in the courtroom. I’ve read the transcripts and the opinions, but it was great to hear how effective Ken Miller was and how badly Michael Behe botched it.
Jones: It is stunning when you get into it. Broadly, as the trial progressed, what was remarkable to me, as you go back—you well know this in your field—people called it Darwin’s theory of evolution. Here’s Charles Darwin, who had not the benefit at all of genetics, and yet from my view, almost every subsequent discovery tends to bear out Darwin’s theory and has only made it stronger, including the field of genetics. But Ken Miller went into the immune system, the blood clotting cascade, and the bacterial flagellum—all three are held out by intelligent design proponents as irreducibly complex, and in effect, having no precursors. He [Miller] knocked that down, I thought, quite effectively—so comprehensively and so well. By the time Miller was done testifying, over the span of a couple of days, the defendants were really already in the hole.
