This could be just like today. Same issues, same closed minds. People like Ken Ham spewing idiocy to young minds.

Brilliant speech by Spencer Tracy. Very relevant to our time.

"Inherit the Wind is a fictionalized account of the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial, which resulted in John T. Scopes' conviction for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to a high school science class, contrary to a Tennessee state law that proscribed the teaching of anything besides creationism. The fictional characters Matthew Harrison Brady, Henry Drummond, Bertram Cates and E. K. Hornbeck correspond to the historical figures of William Jennings Bryan, Clarence Darrow, John Scopes, and H. L. Mencken, respectively.

Despite numerous similarities between the play and history, the play was not intended as a documentary-drama about the Scopes trial, but instead as a warning against dogmatism and the "evils" of McCarthyism."

When Christianity's greatest apologist this past century, C. S. Lewis, who thought that evolution and Christianity weren't mutually exclusive, can't say that in some of these congregations, you know things have gone haywire. And the scientists mentioned in the lawsuit in Dover are Christians but the movie seems to ignore that...why ? Just to label them nazis ?

I hear it is pretty bad.
