Inherently Wind: A Hollywood History of the Scopes Trial
Description
By Dr. David Menton (2003)
In one of his most popular talks, Dr. David Menton exposes the distortions and inaccuracies regarding the Scopes Trial in the play and movie Inherit the Wind. This influential propaganda piece has deceived a whole generation with the false belief that Christians went on a witch-hunt to stop John Scopes from teaching evolution, but in reality it was a "set up" by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Running time:74 minutes (High School – Adult)
About the speaker: Dr. Menton was awarded "Professor of the Year" in 1998 while associate professor of anatomy at the respected Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis. Now a professor emeritus (he holds a Ph.D. in cell biology from Brown University), Dr. Menton speaks full time for Answers in Genesis (AiG). Audiences enjoy Dr. Menton's well-illustrated presentations on a variety of fascinating topics, such as the human body, feathers and birds, and the Scopes trial.
