Any half-way competent intellectual property lawyer is going to be able to demonstrate that the arguments presented by the antievolutionists as "weaknesses" fall into two classes: misrepresentations of scientific findings (telling falsehoods to students serves no secular purpose) or the very same arguments found only in the ensemble of religious antievolution arguments. By copious IP case law, the latter will then be treated by the court as derivative works; the religious antievolutionists cannot shed the history of the ensemble of arguments by the dodge of saying, "But we're only talking about science now." I don't mind laying this out in the open, because I see no escape on this point: either the religious antievolutionists give up the arguments they have used in the past or they reveal their agenda thereby. Practically, they can't give up their past arguments, because that is all they've got.
