Abstract
We all know the story of the Scopes trial in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925: Biology teacher John Scopes violated the law by teaching evolution in his class. The fundamentalist crusader William Jennings Bryan joined the local clergy in a witchhunt to put an end to Darwin's influence. Clarence Darrow came to defend Scopes from the bigotry of the local populace. Darrow made mincemeat of Bryan, thus saving poor Scopes from those who wanted to see him put in jail for his beliefs. Wrong!
