First of all, the Scopes trial did not play *any* role in any debate between religion and science as far as I'm aware. Science and religion are fundamentally opposed, and as long as both exist, there will be debate between them. Rather, the Scopes trial played an important role in *legislation* related to the teaching of science in school, rather than teaching fundamentalist religious doctrine as if it were fact.
The role the Scopes trial played in this was that it made both the public and judicial authorities aware of the issues involved, up to and including the conflicts between the USA constitution and various state constitutions, as well as the conflicts between both US and state constitutions, and practice.

What was the major question of the Scopes trial of 1925?
It was a conflict between the teachings of theology and science. To some people in the early 1900s, the theory of evolution suggested that men were descended from apes (which is erroneous). The term "monkey trial" was applied to the Scopes trial because a teacher was charged with teaching Darwinian evolution in violation of a state law against it. The underlying issue was whether or not a state statute was constitutional or unconstitutional because it made it a criminal offense to teach the theory of evolution, as opposed to the Bible's teaching of the Creation. Scopes was found guilty as charged, but cleared on a technicality. The 1925 law, called the Butler Act, was upheld by the Tennessee Supreme Court but was eventually repealed by the Tennessee legislature in 1967.
