I assume the gentleman was talking about Kitzmiller v. Dover. Yes, I have heard of this case. It is, basically, as you have described. If you're asking my personal opinion, I have read the court decision in the Dover case and find it to be seriously flawed.

I have never heard of the second incident. I strongly suspect what he actually said was that if a book about creationism were edited so that the word "God" were changed to "creator", you would have a book about ID. In which case, I would say he is mistaken. If he really did say that ID proponents had actually done this, then I would accuse him of lying.
