The Scopes Monkey Trial
The Scopes Monkey Trial (The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes) was a landmark American legal case in 1925 in which a high school science teacher, John Scopes, was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach evolution. Modernists, who said religion was consistent with evolution, were set against religious fundamentalists in a trial that helped to fuel the controversy regarding teaching evolution in public schools. Dr. Janet Monge, Associate Curator-in-Charge and Keeper of Collections, Physical Anthropology Section, discusses this groundbreaking case.
Amazing. Monge is the best!
She says OK too often. John Scopes told journalists that he was afraid his lawyers might find out he didn't violate the law.
Is there any information available about video at the beginning of the lecture?
It seems remarkable that in 2012 she felt that people couldn't give a cogent description of natural selection because Americans were behind in biological education. By 2012, 2 to 3 generations had been educated on this in the public schools . They were well indoctrinated into evolutionary theory at that point, but my guess is most of them found the whole subject boring and perhaps a bit overwhelming. My guess is many didn't care about natural selection or naturalistic Theory and didn't listen when they were in school and zoned out as they walked through all of the scientific dribble in the exhibit in their Museum and couldn't give a cogent description because they studied business or engineering or education or fashion design or some other field because biology made their eyes glaze over. Very much a premature conclusion about their surveys of people coming out of their exhibit.
Not to mention that Darwinism, neo-Darwinism, and the 3rd wave are all sorely lacking in good evidence for validity. Mathematically they just don't add up.
'kay
ah kay
They argued in court that all life came from one cell after all that's how it works in a pregnancy repeated several times in the trial. Atheism, and humanism are religion. This is a pretty biased view. Clarence Darrow goal was to undermine a view that the Bible is true in the sense of the literature in the intended sense. He actually got two brothers off of the death penalty in Leopold and Loeb arguing they were affected by what the read and learned in school, things like teachings of Neitzche.
Boooooooooo!!!
“Intelligent Design” advocates.
ARE NOT “Creationists”!!!
She says "okay" or just "k" after half the statements she makes. It's really distracting and annoying. Therefore, everything she says about evolution is very wrong. It's just another dumb theory.
