Good for Dover (though the locals had already kicked the guilty party out in school board elections). Good for moderate religious people, atheists, agnosticists and pretty much everyone but the religious fundies of all sort, for that matter.
Seriously. Evolution might "only be a theory" (and anyone who says "only a theory" while refering to a scientifical theory is clueless as to how science works), but a scientific theory is a lot more than ID will ever be. THAT little joke (ID) breaks just about every requirement of scientific theories.
