How was the scopes trial more than just a simple debate between evolution and creationism

History
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

In the scopes trial, Thomas Scopes was tried in court because he tried to teach the theory of evolution in Tennessee. The state was highly religious at that time, so they did not want anyone to teach theory of creation that contradicted the Bible.

On the surface, this might be seen as a case that debated  evolution and creationism. But, it actually much more than that. it actually will determine whether the State has the ability to suppress  knowledge/ideas in order to promote a certain Agenda.

This case became a national debate and eventually the court prohibited the states to force the teaching of a certain religion in public schools.

General Lee after the Battle of Gettysburg could have said something like the following:

"How did it all go wrong? We were supposed to win."
"We must regroup quickly so they do not take advantage of our situation."

Margaret [11]
This is in fact not true, federal spending on defense in the late 1900s specifically the 1990s was in a decline from previous years when spending on the Cold War was very high. However, in the early 2000s defense spending increased dramatically with the introduction of the War on Terror and also the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
