Fundamentalism vs Evolution (1925)

The Scopes Monkey Trial was widely followed in the US, but also in Britain, where Darwin put forth his grand theory of evolution three quarters of a century earlier. This short footage from the BritishFilm Inst. equates the conflict to crashing trains on a single track.

Neat vid, but 'Darwinist'? That's a little insulting unless you return the favor and call Christians 'Contantinist' or 'Nicea-ist'. Seriously, who follows Darwin? Just cause he had an idea doesn't mean all discoveries thereafter are his doing. Sry, had to rant...

I think it would have flown away like in Back to the Future Part III!

i think the train representing evolution would have slowed down but ultimately would have plowed through.
