Brown University professor Kenneth Miller, the first witness called by the plaintiffs, said pieces of the theory of evolution are subject to debate, such as where gender comes from, but told the court: ''There is no controversy within science over the core proposition of evolutionary theory.''

On the other hand, he said, ''Intelligent design is not a testable theory in any sense and as such it is not accepted by the scientific community.''

Miller also challenged the accuracy of ''Of Pandas and People'' and said it almost entirely omits any discussion of what causes extinction. If nearly all original species are extinct, he said, the intelligent design creator was not very intelligent.
