My grandfather covered this trial for the United Press-- I might have seen him in the background.

The Fundamentalist movement had started to organize around the turn of the century in opposition to liberal theology.

*One side interpreted The Bible literally while the other side used reason.* Whether a writing is literal or figurative according to these "reasonable" people is determined by rules of literary categorization in every document EXCEPT The Bible. If, within a Biblical book, or section of a book all the literary devices used put it in the literal, not figurative, genre for the culture then it is literal UNLESS if it were literal it would disagree with those things those people choose to believe as unquestionable fact. When a passage in The Bible disagrees with current findings and/or currently popular theories it must be classified as figurative. If those who believe in evolution truly believe it to be a THEORY then the fact that someone else does not believe in that theory is not a threat and therefore there is no need to either blatantly or by inference dismiss them as "not using reason" for any reason but especially not if their "choosing not to use reason" is proved by their applying the same rules to decide whether something in The Bible was either literal or figurative as are applied to all other literature. Claiming that a writing is literal is not equivalent to claiming it is true. There have been many literal accounts that were completely fictitious and many that were written with the sincere belief that they were accurate that were full of errors. A person can believe that a writing is literal without believing anything that writing says. BTW, "A scientific fact is the result of a repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experimentation or other means), also called empirical evidence. These are central to building scientific theories." Therefore any fact on which the theory of evolution is based must be REPEATABLE, and when repeated must be carefully observed and measured. Anything that was not observed when it originally occurred is not repeatable (the speculations and conjectures of what happened might be repeatable but not the actual event and therefore is not a fact) and therefore not acceptable evidence for the building of scientific theories. I wasn't there when the universe came into existence so I cannot say as a fact that either account is true. One presents itself as a religious belief and fits the criteria of a religious belief. The other presents itself as a scientific theory and I have yet to see a single piece of evidence that is presented for it that is repeatable (in other words what actually happened when the universe came into being was observed and is now being repeated (not an event someone speculated happened and then can repeat the event they speculate happened) and therefore until I see further evidence, reason tells me that said believe does not meet qualify as a scientific theory.
William James Brian was not the best person to be representing Christianity. And how do you defined religion, just curious, because I tend to not like using the word religion and I try to avoid it, because it is a very subjective term.

"In the end it helped promote the idea that laws should respect academic freedom." So ... But science is never challenged to be non- academic, whereas a spiritually based teaching is always challenged to be non-academic. THERE NOW are more court cases than ever wherein the "spiritual academia" is accused of being injurious to the consciousness of young students. When or if I were a lawyer or a judge, I would throw out all these cases because both sides are practically incompetent to be authoritative. The religionists are divided, as they have multiple interpretations, and the evolutionists are not 100% in agreement either. America is great, and as long as there is a God, Americans will have the good fortune to be able to work through differences.
He didn’t say it was fake since that doesn’t make sense. It was alleged that he said “How I wish I had not expressed my theory of evolution as I have done”. This was denied by his own children including his daughter who was present at his deathbed
And we can't forget that even if you cut away Charles Darwin, the theory of evolution doesn't fall. After all, much, much more research was made by many, many evolutionary biologists, all independent of Darwin. Darwin merely was the initial spark for the theory of evolution to take off.
Darwin was under a lot of pressure to go against these heavily influenced and socially constructed norms. Sir Isaac Newton's scientific works also upset religious ideology. As a result, proper burial would not be granted.

Mr. Beats, what is your view on the idea of evolution? Do you support evolution or creationism?
I usually go with the humble experts, so evolution.

Scopes was NOT a science teacher, and he couldn't recall what exactly he had taught from the famed textbook when he was substituting at the school.
You learned that from Hip Hughes, right? 😏 It’s ok! Hughes is great

Scopes was a PE coach who was also a substitute science teacher, and we only know that the textbook mentioned evolution as a theory, not much else
I have actually driven through Dayton Tennessee many times and had absolutely no idea that this happened there

What have you been reading to give you the impression that "'evolutionists' are not 100% in agreement"??
What people forget is that Darwin said his theory was fake beforehand died

So he just magically imagined something which science would prove correct?
Darwin was under a lot of pressure to go against these heavily influenced and socially constructed norms. Sir Isaac Newton's scientific works also upset religious ideology. As a result, proper burial would not be granted.
Fundamentalists are the only Christians. You cannot deny God created humans and call yourself a Christian!
On the stipulation that he used evolution as his method.Otherwise enjoy your fairy tale.

In order for evolution to be true one has to believe all life started from nothing all on its own. Is this what you beleive?
