11. Religious Tensions Many Americans did not agree with certain changes in society, especially the challenge of traditional beliefs. Challenges of traditionalism came from: 1. Science and technology played a larger role in everyday life 2. War and problems of society caused people to question God’s existence 3. Some argued that the bible contained contradictions and historical inaccuracies. Led to tensions between fundamentalists and evolutionists.

Religious Tensions Fundamentalism Evolution Strong adherence to any set of beliefs Religious traditionalist values that supported Christian ideas God inspired the bible and should be interpreted literally Human beings and all other living species develop over time from simpler life forms Based on science Challenges religious viewpoints

13. The Scopes Trial In 1925, a Tennessee law banned the teaching of evolution. John T. Scopes, a science teacher, said this was unconstitutional and violated his personal and religious freedom. He violated the law and was arrested for teaching evolution. This began the case known as The Scopes Trial.

Each person will turn in 3-5 questions they want to ask the other side. This will be turned in for credit! Both sides are going to present their arguments before the floor is open for questioning. Both sides are going to present their arguments before the floor is open for questioning. Everyone is getting participation points for the day – you must speak, ask a question, or respond to a comment to receive those points.
