On May 2, 2005 The Witcha Eagle reported, "the lawyers representing both sides of this week's evolution hearings agree on one thing: Kansans should pay attention because the hearings could have a profound effect on what the state's children learn.

But don't expect John Calvert and Pedro Irigonegaray to agree on much else after the hearings begin Thursday.

Calvert, the retired corporate lawyer who runs the Intelligent Design Network in Shawnee Mission, sees these hearings as his best chance to expose weaknesses in the theory of evolution... Irigonegaray, the Topeka trial lawyer who volunteered to defend evolution, sees these hearings as his best chance to expose the ideas behind intelligent design as theology and not science."
