Did we descend from primates, as theorized by Charles Darwin or were we divinely created as written in Genesis, and decreed by a new Tennessee law forbidding any teaching of evolution in public schools. Biology teacher John Thomas Scopes stands accused by a fundamentalist prosecution team headed up by orator William Jennings Bryant -- whose grandstanding makes him fall victim to a devastating cross-examination by ACLU defensive whiz Clarence Darrow. No matter - the judge rules that any testimony validating evolution is invalid. Did he Scopes teach Darwin He did and so he was fined 100 The Scopes trial by no means ended the debate over the teaching of evolution， but it did represent a significant setback for the anti-evolution forces. Of the fifteen states with anti- evolution legislation pending in 1925， only two states （Arkansas and Mississippi） enacted laws restricting teaching of Darwins theory. On the other hand, in the sense that evolution is the only explanation for life on earth that can be taught in public schools today, victory for the Defense in the Scopes trial cannot be denied. In fact, it can be described as total. An explanation for this result, however, might better be found outside the limited circumstances of the Scopes trial in 1925 given the compelling evidence suggested above for Bryan’s victory in Dayton. As a practical matter, carefully ascertaining who should determine the content of public education is important too. Many people in 1925 believed that the those who pay the teachers’ salaries had both the political authority through their state legislatures and moral responsibility as parents to ultimately control what their children were taught. As for the purist who insists on unfettered academic freedom, such a position has the institutional disadvantage of employees effectively having more authority than their employers. While sounding noble at first blush, a teacher who refuses to teach what he or she has been hired to teach or insists on teaching what he or she is prohibited from teaching should be corrected or removed for the benefit of the institution and the customers or students it serves. That teacher may then start his or her own institution where, one suspects, different guidelines will of necessity have to be enforced in order to preserve the new character and serve the new customers of the start-up institution. The Tennessee Act did not infringe upon the larger principle of academic freedom insofar as any teacher, group of teachers, student, or group of students could still receive instruction in a private school that desired to teach the evolution of mankind as a doctrinal distinctive. This, of course, is what is required of all private, denominational schools such as Jewish, Lutheran, and Catholic schools which also adhere to particular doctrinal distinctives. Who would dominate American culture--the modernists or the traditionalists Journalists were looking for a showdown, and they found one in a Dayton, Tennessee courtroom in the summer of 1925. There a jury was to decide the fate of John Scopes, a high school biology teacher charged with illegally teaching the theory of evolution. The guilt or innocence of John Scopes, and even the constitutionality of Tennessees anti-evolution statute, mattered little. The meaning of the trial emerged through its interpretation as a conflict of social and intellectual values. Evolution continued to be taught in some Tennessee schools and elsewhere in the nation in the years after the Scopes trial, Larson said. But many schools to this day stay away from the topic because it is controversial -- proof that the “culture wars“ brought to the fore by the Scopes trial are still going on, Larson said. Today, the scientific community largely believes evolution is fact. What troubles some Christians, especially fundamentalists who regard the Bible as Gods literal word, is that “godless“ evolution runs counters to the doctrine of divine creation 7
