The famous 1925 trial of John Scopes in Dayton Tennessee became known as the "Monkey Trial". John Scopes was arrested for teaching evolution. This breached the Tennessee anti-evolution law known as the Butler Act. The trial itself received national attention as it was not only one of the first ever court cases which was broadcast live on radio but pitted famous lawyer, Clarence Darrow against past presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan.

  • well, unfortunately... the issues in this trial are still debate as if we have fallen back into the dark ages.

  • Bryan- a great man. Funny, a fundamentalist christian that fought for the working man, the poor and the exploited. America today, the fundamentalist christian hates working people, hates the poor and the exploited-poor Bryan, if he knew how the fundamentalist christians of America have evolved-he.. it would kill'em

  • @davesdatingtips ....? I'm a fundamentalist Christian and I don't even know what you are talking about.

  • @edisonphonographfan Fair enough, good day.

  • @christo930

    You know i realized something. I was talking to you like you're an idiot.

    You're definetly not an idiot probably smarter than I am.

    And i would like to apologize for acting the way i did i just get so fed up and angry with athiests (because most of them on youtube are idiots and only argue with cursing and typical questions) That i dont look and see someone like you who actually has a good arguement unlike most other athiests so

    Im sorry and this time i sincerely mean god bless

  • @edisonphonographfan As I already stated, had your blessing been in good nature and good will, I wouldn't have reacted the way I did. Your blessing was meant to be condescending and a wise crack. I asked you not to do it again and you deliberately repeated it, all in caps, just to be an asshole. So spare me your lectures about being a good person.

  • @christo930

    wow people like you are ruining the world not being athiest but being a conceded peice ofcrap honestly the only person who could love you is god because i sure dont

    god bless

  • @edisonphonographfan After I asked you not to bless me, especially in the condescending way you did it. Your blessing means nothing, never will and never did.

  • @christo930

    u know i say something nice to you and you insult me gosh you're a horrid person

  • @edisonphonographfan GO FUCK YOURSELF!

  • @christo930

    GOD BLESS YOU
