Question 1 of 5:

What was one scientific concept used in the Scopes Trial that has since been thoroughly discredited, even though it was used to support evolution at the time?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Embryonic Recapitulation, the idea that embryos retrace evolutionary stages (e.g., having “gill slits” or a “tail”), was promoted by Ernst Haeckel using fraudulent drawings. Though cited by Clarence Darrow during the Scopes Trial, it is now universally rejected by embryologists.

Question 2 of 5:

What was the real danger William Jennings Bryan saw in teaching evolution in public schools?

Correct Answer: C 
Explanation: Bryan wasn’t anti-science; he feared the moral and societal consequences of teaching children they were merely accidents of chance, which erodes human dignity and accountability.

Question 3 of 5:

What infamous textbook was used during the Scopes Trial, and what did it promote?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Civic Biology by George W. Hunter promoted racist ideas, claiming Caucasians were the most evolved, and advocated eugenics. It was used to push evolution in schools and was central to the Scopes Trial controversy.

Question 4 of 5:

Which “missing link” presented at the time of the Scopes Trial was later proven to be based on a single tooth from an extinct pig?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Nebraska Man was “constructed” from just one tooth, which was later discovered to be from an extinct pig. This hoax was used to support evolutionary claims but ultimately discredited the credibility of those arguments.

Question 5 of 5:

What modern scientific discovery most powerfully undermines Darwinian evolution by showing that mutations degrade rather than improve genetic information?

Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Genetic entropy, discovered by Dr. John Sanford, demonstrates that mutations accumulate and degrade genetic information over time, directly contradicting the evolutionary idea that mutations lead to progress and complexity.

n 1925, a courtroom in Dayton, Tennessee became the stage for a cultural turning point—the Scopes “Monkey” Trial. But this wasn’t just a debate about evolution vs. creation. It was the moment America began its bold experiment of removing God from the classroom—and eventually, from the culture.

Now, 100 years later, what has that experiment produced?

Join Eric Hovind to revisit the trial that put God and His Word on trial, exposing the strategy of the trial, the damage caused, and why so many Christians today are still unprepared to defend their faith under pressure. You’ll discover how Clarence Darrow’s attack, William Jennings Bryan’s unpreparedness, and the ACLU’s agenda launched a century of secularism—and why it’s time for a generation to rise up, reclaim truth, and end the experiment. This isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a wake-up call.
