Intelligent design proponent takes Nasa to court over job
David Coppedge, who worked as a team leader on the Cassini mission exploring Saturn and its moons, claims he was discriminated against because he engaged co-workers in conversations about intelligent design and handed out DVDs on the idea while at work.
Intelligent design is the belief that a higher power must have had a hand in creation because life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.
In a statement, JPL dismissed Mr Coppedge’s claims. In court papers, lawyers said Mr Coppedge received a written warning because his co-workers complained of harassment.
