Scopes Trial (jan 1, 1925 – jan 1, 1925)
Description:
The Scopes Trial highlighted the tension between literal interpretations of creation accounts in the Bible and evolutionary theory in the 20th century. The case began when a biology teacher, John Scopes, attempted to teach evolution in the classroom, instead of the creation story of the Bible, which was not taken very well.
