The gyst of it: The ICR moved from California to Texas. The ICR wanted to offer masters degrees in science. The Higher Education board in Texas said no. ICR sued. ICR lost.

The best part of the ruling:

It appears that although the Court has twice required Plaintiff to re-plead and set forth a short and plain statement of the relief requested, Plaintiff is entirely unable to file a complaint which is not overly verbose, disjointed, incoherent, maundering, and full of irrelevant information.

I guess those tactics may work in creationist literature or debates, but not so much in legal docs.

This point was also amusing:

ICRGS claims the Board “effectively treated ICRGS’s M.S. curriculum as a non-science education curriculum, due to ICRGS’s openly creationist viewpoint.”

Um... duh?

Did they seriously think that they had any chance at all?

Hmm seems I'm unable to post a link to the "Scientific Method Creationst Method" cartoon, but do a google image search for that phrase and it's the first pic.

You mean like cheesy court rulings?

In the face of how court rulings go, your OP makes no point at all -- other than the fact that Satan went down to Texas and scored yet another judicial victory.

Please. Creationists dont have facts or evidence. You seem to want court rulings that dont account for such things. dare i say it?

Not sure how your single-word response relates to the comment you replied to. Please elaborate.

ETA: Ah, I see you've edited your post. Is Moonlancer an atheist?

blind.I find it strange that someone who is so sure of his atheist belief visits this place.

Who ever said i was sure of my beleif? I simply follow the null hypothesis. I Fail to believe in things until evidence shows them to be true. And that makes me blind?It must be tough not knowing how to understand reality and instead just believe what people tell you in church or believe in some fuzzy feeling when you feel special and calling it God.

Unless his name is buddha?And yeah you repeating the mantra that creation has no evidence makes you blind.And if you truly follow the null hypothesis where does yokozuna fit in with this belief of yours?
