Eighty-nine years after a Dayton jury found John Scopes guilty of teaching evolution, the people of this town are still acting out the creationist debate, all in order to put on a show. The lesson of the Scopes Trial is not that some people are stupid science-deniers. Itâs that scientific fact can all too easily be spun up into performances and archetypal dramas. John Scopes, the schoolteacher, was not a prisoner of his conscience. Dayton was not a particularly religious town.
