Religion vs. Science in the 1920s
Religion and science, a big topic that took place in the 1920s. The religious party believed that every one person on earth was put here by one superior being. Therefore, everything is dependent on that particular superior being. They also believed that people who did not believe in religion would go to "Hell". Though this might be the truth for the people who believe that both Heaven and Hell exist, the scientists did not mind this threat because there was no scientific proof that there was such thing as an after life. Now for the scientific party, they believed that there was, and is a logical explanation for everything. For example the topic of were we (humans) came from, the scientists believed that, thanks to Darwin's theory of evolution, humans came from monkeys. They thought that without science no one would ever understand the world. They also believed that there was no such thing as supernatural person or thing in the universe. Science to them was an investigation. As you see, these different point of views started a riot As well as a cumbersome number of accusations towards the scientists who wanted to educate others on the topic of evolution. These accusations mainly came from religious beings.Some people would easily choose a side to take while others hesitated on who to trust and tried to see which side had more power to win. The Monkey Trial, which was taken place in Tennessee July 1952, was a trial between the religious community in Tennessee and a science teacher called John Scopes. Tennessee, as well as six other states in the U.S., banned schools for teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Though Scopes was found guilty for teaching his students about evolution, which contradicted the bible, and had a fine of $100, it was the first trial to ever be heard on the radio. Therefore named the Monkey trial.
