The Scopes Monkey Trial 1925
In 1925, a small mid-western town populated by like small-minded people, a high school teacher was being tried for instructing his students on Darwin's theory of evolution. The towns people wanted to jail him because they felt he was breaking the law, and corrupting the morals of young people by teaching these principles. The defense hires renowned lawyer, agnostic Drummund from Chicago. During Drummund's interrogatiom of bible-totin', scripture spewing, hell-bent evangelist Brady regarding Darwin's theory of evolution, Drummond comments: "The individual human mind. In a child's power to master the multiplication table there is more sanctity than in all your shouted amens and holy holy hosannas. An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral, and the advance of man's knowledge is a greater miracle than all the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters .... The Bible is a good book, but it is not the only book .... How do you know God didn't speak to Charles Darwin?" In 1960 a film was made based on this trail. It was called 'Inherit the Wind'.
