How did the Scopes trial show the difference between evolution and creationism?
The Scopes trial did not prove or disprove either evolution or creation, because it was about the right of a science teacher to teach evolution in state schools in the United States. Arguments meant to prove the validity of evolution were not accepted by the judge, nor were arguments that showed the Bible to be unscientific. The opponents of teaching of evolution won the case, presided over by a judge who seems to have been sympathetic to their cause. The judgement was subsequently overturned on appeal, but only on a technicality, with the higher court recommending that, for the good of the state, there be no further legal action.David Goetz says that the difference the trial revealed was in the two ways of finding truth, one "biblical" and one "scientific." Liberals saw a division between educated, tolerant Christians and narrow-minded, tribal, obscurantist Christians, while the majority of American Christians of the time denounced evolution.For more information on evoution and creationism, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Why did some states ban the teaching of evolution?
Some states banned the teaching of evolution due to religious reasons, as it contradicted creationist beliefs. They believed that teaching evolution went against their religious views and wanted to prioritize alternative explanations such as creationism or intelligent design in the classroom.

What positions did William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow each represent at the Scopes Trail?

How do you prove a right angle triangle?
You cannot prove "a right angle triangle". You may or may not be able to prove statements about right angled triangles but that will depend on the particular statement.
If you believe in human evolution and your ex wife believes in creationism how do you make sure your children are not brainwashed by Mormons and Christianity in general?
Answer 1Teach them both theories and allow them to choose for themselves what they would like to believe!Answer 2Unfortunately, there are no simple solutions for such a conundrum. As parents, you both have and feel the obligation to teach your children what you think is right and true. Whether or not creationists can be blamed for their refusal to learn why evolutionary theory is indeed the best explanation for life's diversity as demonstrated by our observations in biology is almost irrelevant to the real issue: that they do believe that creationism is right and true, and not evolution.You have no alternative then, but to hope that your ex-wife is a reasonable person, and that you can manage to impart as many independent and critical thinking skills and as much knowledge on them as is necessary for them to find out for themselves why creationism is not a rational attitude.

Why is creationism not a theory?
Creationism is not a theory because it's not based on science, which currently uses the 'hypo-deductive reasoning' approach to problems. That is, someone sees a problem/puzzle, you generate a guess for an answer (the hypothesis) then collect data about your question to see if the real world supports your hypothesis. If it does, you refine your first guess to your improved, informed answer called a theory. Creationism is a faith-based answer to questions that others are using Evolution, geology, and other sciences to answer. No one KNOWS the true answer, it depends on whether you trust faith or science. However, right or wrong, creationism isn't a science, so will never be a theory. Answer: Creationism is not a theory (in the common scientific sense) for the same reason that evolution isn't, since a scientific theory must be repeatable, testable and falsifiable. Both are stories about the past which cannot be repeated, and they involve presuppositions involving faith. It is merely a question of which answer best fits the available evidence. i.e. if one is an impartial observer, which is rarely the case.
Why is it just as important to prove a hypothesis is wrong as to prove it is right?
Its important to prove a hypotheses is wrong as it is to prove it right because when you set out to do a lab, you must make your prediction before you start. When you are finished with the lab, you write your report, and that is the time to either prove or disprove your theory. Science isn't all about getting the right hypothesis or answer; it's more about thinking and understanding.
