100 years later: The Scopes trial is still proven wrong

[Michie]

The founders said our rights come from the Creator. It is He who has endowed us with our rights. Therefore, they stand secure. But what if there were no Creator? What then?

Some in our society seem to think that the Creator has somehow been disproved by science, that evolution is a proven fact, and that the Scopes Monkey Trial 100 years ago this month helped settle the matter. Case closed.

But is that really the case? Popular history tells us that science teacher John Thomas Scopes was put on trial for daring to teach evolution in his classroom in Dayton, Tennessee — an act prohibited by law in that predominantly Christian state.

In reality, Scopes was a football coach and only taught the science class as a substitute because the regular teacher did not want to violate the law.

In reality, the whole Scopes trial was a publicity event to try and put Dayton on the map.

Rumors that God is dead that the Creator was somehow killed off in the Scopes trial are greatly exaggerated

Interesting. I read the article to regain some forgotten insight on the issue. I have two comments, though I expect little agreement from the prevalent evolutionists on this website.

First, note that it was the ACLU leading the way to get God out of the public schools. They remain one of the major organizations still fighting God and America's Christian heritage. Not a good side for any Christian to be on in my view.

Second, such an outcome would not be the same today - Darrow stumping Bryan with simple creation/evolution questions. Since then, the evolutionary believing Bible skeptics have prompted an explosion of Christian apologetic material, including an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence for the Biblical creation model over the evolutionary model.

That's like saying the creator has somehow been disproved by science, that gravity is a proven fact. The fact that gravity and evolution are directly observed constantly does not disprove God. How could it?

The Biblical creation model is entirely consistent with the observed fact of evolution. The YEC doctrine of special creation has been rather thoroughly debunked, however.

But perhaps you could shows us that overwhelming amount of scientific evidence for YEC.
