The Scopes trial was a court case with substitute teacher John Thomas Scopes and the State of Tennessee. This case was about this teacher teaching about evolution knowing that he was not allowed to teach that course. His lawyer Clarence Darrow argued that evolution was a part of religion however the states lawyer William Jennings Bryan disagreed to that statement and said that evolution was and should not be a part of the bible. In the end the state won and Scopes was fined 100$.
