Most objections to evolutionary theory, now and historically, are based in religious fundamentalism, specifically the religious beliefs that have mankind be the product of special creation by some god or gods.

What happened at the Scopes trial and what made people refuse to believe in evolution?

The Scopes trial was about a teacher seeking to bring issues surrounding the teaching of evolution to the attention of a wider audience. Although he succeeded in this, he lost the trial itself and was fined $100. The law challenged by Scopes was the Butler Act, explicitly prohibiting the teaching of science thought to conflict with scripture - ie. evolution. This law was instated by Tennessee governor Austin Peay, for the usual reasons. It wasn't until 1967 that this particular law was successfully challenged and subsequently repealed.
