Collision of Faith, Science, and Politics
The Christian founders of the republic emphasized that no faith should be privileged in America and that religion should not interfere with government operations.
A notable example of this collision is the Scopes "Monkey Trial" in Dayton, Tennessee, which took place over a century ago.
- The trial involved local high school science instructor John T. Scopes, who was accused of violating a Tennessee law by teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
- The trial was widely covered by journalists, including H.L. Mencken of the Baltimore Sun, who described it as the "monkey trial".
The "monkey trial" continues to haunt us.
Advocates draw conclusions based on the interpretation of facts and data, highlighting the ongoing debate between faith, science, and politics.
