摘要:
Draws from new archival material, as well as historical and legal analysis to examine the many facets of the Scopes trial of 1925 in which the American Civil Liberties Union challenged a controversial Tennessee law banning the teaching of evolution in public schools, and considers the impact of that trial on the continuing debate between religion and science.

Eric Larson has written an excellent history of the Scopes trial. He debunks many misconceptions about the proceedings and outcome of the trial. For example, the overall result of the trial was a victory for creationists. Creationist legislation succeeded in many areas of the South and southern midwest. Textbooks avoided discussion of evolution after the trial. However, the urban areas of the East and upper Midwest strengthened their support for evolution, associating creationism with primitive ideas of rural America.Other interesting facts from the trial: the ACLU was not excited about getting Darrow as their lawyer. He imposed himself on them, and they couldn't turn him down. But he polarized the trial and made it more about him and his ideas on religion than about academic freedom and the strong evidence for biological evolution. With friends like that ...Another interesting point, Bryan did not leave the trial in disgrace. He triumphed. It was only with revisionist histories written later did the idea become common that the creationists had failed in the trial. So while those watching "Inherit the Wind" think that scientific knowledge triumphed, it was quite different in reality.The merits of the theory of biological evolution were not heard in court until much later in 1981 in Arkansas, and they were only thoroughly examined recently in 2005 in Dover Pennsylvania.
