      This article is very interesting because it is explaining how ARE interested in religion, they just want to adapt it to a more modern way. An interfaith survey of 1153 teens released by B'nai Brith says that 70% of teens value religion and they would like to connect better with religion. They also state that when they are in their younger phase of teenage years, they are interested in religion but the interest drops when they become older.

  • A jury of twelve men
  • moved to quash the indictment on both state and federal constitutional grounds. This move was at the heart of the defense strategy.  The defense's goal was not to win acquittal for John Scopes, but rather to obtain a declaration by a higher court--preferably the U.S. Supreme Court--that laws forbidding the teaching of evolution were unconstitutional
  • Judge Raulston denied the defense motion.
  • As expected
  • titanic struggle between good and evil or truth and ignorance
  • if evolution wins, Christianity goes.
  • The prosecution opened its case by asking the court to take judicial notice of the Book of Genesis,
  • asked seven students in Scope's class a series of questions about his teachings
