Ep. 134: The Scopes Monkey Trial (True Crime / Evolution vs. Creationism / Fundamentalism / Social Darwinism / History)

•

Join Sadie and Gavri'el as they discuss the Scopes Monkey Trial, a pivotal moment in American history that affected the right to teach science in public schools. This trial was one of the first worldwide or semi-worldwide mass-media events that was covered in real time.


 In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. This episode deals with the topic of evolution, and we will be mentioning some common arguments and key players in the general vein of creation vs evolution, but this episode is almost purely historical, and almost nothing about religious trauma
