Preferred term

Scopes Monkey Trial  

Definition

  • In the United States, and especially in education, the issue of evolution and creation has been a continuing problem. The fundamental religious/conservative part of the population believes that the biblical account of creation is true and wants only that account taught in schools, or wants it to be taught with equal emphasis as given to evolution.
