God in America?
During the early 1900 a big topic rose in America that was a arguing topic for several years. It was based off of religion and if it should play a role in children education and how far you can go believing or using the bible until science intervened. In other words it was the struggle between 2 groups weather or not science was the root of life or Gods word in the bible. This lead to many cases and arguments. Religion served as an engine for law reforms during this era of American History by making Americans pick a side that will eventually split the country until a trial came to follow. Many Federalist believed that life should and people should believe deeply in Christianity and use it as a basis for life. While others thought that evolution got in the way of beliefs and science, leading to conflict on who to believe. Leading to many trials such as Bryan's. Who was asked to support his views on the bible, by Darrow who called him into witness. Darrow questioned Bryan, specifically about Genesis when God created light and night, tricking Bryan to look stupid and idiotic in what he believed in. Believing "One miracle is as easy to believe as another". With this being radio live the whole world saw the stupidity of the fundamentalist and realized that they were believing something without being able to reason with what is stated nor having any support. In the ended this ended the split and lead to end of religion and evolution in studies for views were being intertwined. In the end many still stuck to there beliefs but the impact this had on many peoples life's and views was outstanding. Blaming or assuming events were to come based off of religion, for example many thought WW1 was the end of the life believing that bad things would happen because of their sins. It changed peoples views and caused many arguments between people along with riots.
