#106 - Science vs Religion: The Trial That Changed America

from Books & Looks · host Blaine DeSantis

Can a single trial change the course of a nation? In 1925, the answer was yes. The Scopes Monkey Trial pitted evolution against creation, science against religion, and two of America's greatest orators against each other. Author Debbie Levy takes us beyond the courtroom drama to explore the deeper cultural battle that still rages today. Is teaching evolution a dangerous idea? And what happens when a small town becomes the center of a national firestorm? The answers may surprise you.
