Today in the 2nd hour of the Michael Medved Show, Mr. Medved and Center for Science & Culture associate director Dr. John West will be observing the anniversary of the Scopes “Monkey” Trial, with a discussion of the freedom to teach about evolution. That’s 1 pm Pacific Time, 4 pm Eastern.

Almost 90 years after the famous trial of teacher John T. Scopes, it’s now Darwin’s defenders who seek legal means to silence doubters in the classroom. Darwinism is a scientific idea, a brittle artifact of 19th-century materialism, but it’s more than that. It’s also a culture, a highly intolerant one that seeks to suppress dissenters while avoiding a fair debate with advocates of competing theories like intelligent design. What a strange reversal from the days of the Scopes Trial!

It’s the Science & Culture Update, which you can hear on the Medved Show or online here!
