あらすじ・解説
H. L. Mencken said of it, "Let no one mistake it for comedy, farcical though it may be in all its details. It serves notice on the country that Neanderthal man is organizing in these forlorn backwaters of the land, led by a fanatic, rid of sense and devoid of conscience."
The way it's been presented for decades is that in July 1925 Christian fundamentalist's put science and truth on trial. Their goal: to suppress the advancement of human knowledge and flourishing, to bring mankind back to the dark ages.
Was this what really happened? Or have the irreligious Secularists once again manipulated history to fit a narrative that places themselves in a significantly better light than the truth? Join as we discuss the infamous Scopes Monkey Trial.
