What is the theme of Inherit The Wind?
One inspiration includes the real-life trial, which took place in Dayton, Tennessee in 1925. Another inspiration includes the importance of the case. Throughout the book, the fight between science vs. religion plays as the main source of conflict. This trial helped repeal the law against evolution, which is a reason why evolution is taught in schools today.
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 The 1925 law, called the Butler Act, was upheld by the Tennessee Supreme Court but was eventually repealed by the Tennessee legislature in 1967.
What are the major issues that perpetuated the evolution of the?
Unanswerable.
Which issues did the Religious Right oppose?
This topic is highly controversial. I will try to keep my answer as inoffensive as possible. The Religious Right are people who are (usually) Fundamentalist Christians, and whose political leanings are Conservative. Their issues follow from this. The Religious Right opposed abortion, gay marriage, birth control, and the efforts of the courts to keep religion out of government. In other words, the Religious Right wanted to permit prayer in school, teaching of Creationism or Intelligent Design, nativity scenes on public property, and other religious activities. When courts found against these things, the Religious Right was strongly opposed to them.
Issues did the religious right reject?
Some of the issues that the Religious Right rejected were women's liberation, homosexuality, and abortion.
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.
Why would a religious believer want religious and moral issues on television?
Some religious believers would want religious and moral issues on television so that they can push their viewpoints at others. The same religious believers would likely oppose the presentation of religious or moral views on TV if those views do not coincide with their own.

What is a thesis statement for the question how does Christian fundamentalism influence the media?
Christian fundamentalism influences the media by shaping narratives, influencing content, and driving certain agendas. This can result in the promotion of specific values, beliefs, and perspectives through media platforms, impacting public discourse and shaping societal attitudes towards various issues.
What were the cultural conflicts of prohibition and evolution?
They were both issues that were related to the opinions of traditionalists and modernists. Prohibition caused an eruption of organized crime, such as speak easies, and a population of people who opposed the legislation and rebelled. The Scopes Trial was a perfect example of traditionalists vs. modernists, showing how strongly traditionalists felt against the teaching of evolution because of their beliefs that society should model the Bible.
What did the religious right reject?
Some of the issues that the Religious Right rejected were women's liberation, homosexuality, and abortion.
What is Richard Dawkins' view on Creationism?
Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. In this position, he clearly has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understaning of Science, he has written books such as The God Delusion(Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.I think that Professor Dawkins sees Creationism as dependently linked to religious belief. Where he views Creationism to contend with Science, which he asserts is quite often, Dawkins prefers to focus on the inherent failure of the underlying religious belief rather than simply demonstrating the error of the Creationist belief and leaving the proponent to continue in his or her religious beliefs.The debate around creationism and evolution is more fully covered in: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
