This is an incredible misrepresentation of history. According to Jim, not
only do we have an uncertain future, but also we have an uncertain past. The
ACLU did not file suit against Tennesse, but Tennessee filed suit against
Scopes and Scopes lost.
It was not the evolutionists who passed the law in Tennessee outlawing the
teaching of evolution. It was the christians who lobbied the legislature to
stop someone from teaching their children something. (As if you can prevent
your children from hearing someing disagreeable) It was the Christians
who lobbied the district attorney to sue Scopes for teaching evolution after
he stated that he had. Scopes was convicted of this dastardly deed and the
Christians were gleeful. They had won their case but lost the war.
In other words, if Christians had been a little more tolerant, the whole thing
might not have blown up in their face.
