In honor of Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, the Freethinkers of Colorado Springs will have Susan Epperson as our guest speaker in February.
On May 5, 1925, John Scopes was charged with teaching ideas from Darwin's book on the Origin of Species. Under the Butler Act it was unlawful in any state-funded educational establishment in Tennessee, "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from the lower order of animals." The trial was held in Dayton, Tennessee, and was world famous. That same year Arkansas adapted its own "anti-evolution" statute based upon the Tennessee law.
