This Day in History and its Relevance to Today

Eighty Years ago today:

John T. Scopes, young Dayton (Tenn.) high school teacher, tonight stands indicted for having taught the theory of evolution to students attending his science classes in violation of a law passed by the Tennessee Legislature and signed by the Governor on March 21, 1925. The date for this trial has been fixed for July 10 at Dayton. The hearing of the case will bring many notables to the little mountain town, including William Jennings Bryan for the prosecution and Clarence Darrow of Chicago and Dudley Field Malone of New York for the defense.

And today, 80 years later, some wack-job fundementalists still believe, and want the rest of us to be forced to believe that dinosaurs were Jesus Horses.

BTW, just a tip, do not have your filters off in google or yahoo and type "Flintstones"...trust me, you do not want to do that.
