Host/Narrator: What Scopes represented and what the world came to witness was a colossal clash of ideals. The cool reasoning of science seem to threaten the deep and dividing roots of religion. It was one thing to replace the family mule with the Model T but quite another to trade Matthew, Mark and John for Einstein, Freud and Darwin. For many people these were confusing times. And what may have been most unsettling about the pace of change in the 1920s was that people wanted both the benefits of the future and the familiar comforts of the past." 1 of 1 found this interesting Interesting?
