Read the following quotations and then explain why you think evolution became such a flashpoint for controversy. What has religion to do with facts? Nothing. Is there any such thing as Methodist mathematics, Presbyterian botany, Catholic astronomy, or Baptist biology? What has any form of superstition or religion to do with a fact or with any science? Nothing but to hinder, delay or embarrass. -Robert G. Ingersoll Be it Enacted, by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, that it shall be unlawful for any teacher in any of the universities, normals, and all other public schools in the State, which are supported in whole or in part by the public school funds of the State, to teach the theory that denies the story of the divine creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals. -Tennessee state law What is Darwinism? It is Atheism. -Charles Hodge Evolution is God′s way of doing things. -John Fiske Evolution, applied to religion, will influence it only as the hidden temples are restored, by removing the sands which have drifted in from the arid deserts of scholastic and medieval theologies. It will change theology, but only to bring out the simple temple of God in clearer and more beautiful lines and proportions. -Reverend Henry Ward Beecher The first objection to Darwinism is that it is only a guess and was never anything more…. The second objection to Darwin′s guess is that it has not one syllable in the Bible to support it. This ought to make Christians cautious about accepting it without thorough investigation…. Third–Neither Darwin nor his supporters have been able to find a fact in the universe to support their hypothesis. With millions of species, the investigators have not been able to find one single instance in which one species has changed into another…Theistic evolution may be defined as an anesthetic which deadens the patient′s pain while atheism removes his religion. -William Jennings Bryan Here we find to-day as brazen and as bold an attempt to destroy learning as was ever made in the Middle Ages and the open difference is we have not provided that malefactors shall be burned at the stake. But here is time for that, your Honor. We have to approach these things gradually…. If to-day you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach it in the public school…at the next session you may ban books and newspapers…. Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always they are anxious and gloating for more. -Clarence Darrow Why you think evolution became such a flashpoint for controversy? 3.
