Darwin celebrated, despite controversy, on 200th birthday - USATODAY.com
USA Today has produced a thorough article on Darwin and the controversy of evolution.
In the USA, the debate turned similarly acrimonious with the 1927 "Scopes Monkey Trial," in which Tennessee prosecuted schoolteacher John Scopes for teaching evolution.Two things to mention here. The Scope's Trial was in 1925 and not 1927. The film Inherit the Wind had numerous inaccuracies from the actual events of the main trial.Scopes lost, but the scorn on the creationist prosecutor, Williams Jennings Bryan, by pundits such as The Baltimore Sun's H.L. Mencken, remained the wider public image of the case, immortalized in the 1960 film Inherit the Wind.
Could it be that USA Today has not checked its facts about what biblical Creation is all about?
