The infamous clash between evolution and creationism, science and religion, and traditionalism and modernism, that played out on a searing July in rural Tennessee between a Christian fundamentalist and three-time Presidential nominee and arguably the most famous criminal defense lawyer of the 20th century. Arguably one of the most famous and controversial court cases of all time, as well as one of the most notorious publicity stunts, the Scopes trial is often cited as a defining symbol of the broad social changes and conflicts that occurred in the 1920s. This case also is of particular relevance and interest to me, as I happened to grow up about 30 minutes from where it took place. This article needs a lot of work, but my goal is to promote it to a featured article so that it can appear as today's featured article on the 100th anniversary of the verdict. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially from anyone who has experience with articles of this subject.

I am going to make some suggestions for this article. I am not from the United States and am not familiar with this specific case but did study 1920s America at school and went through a phase of being interested in debates around secularism years ago. Feel free to criticise if any of my comments are silly.
Hope these are helpful, Llewee ( talk) 22:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
