💨 Abstract
A century after the 1925 Scopes "monkey trial," which saw Tennessee teacher John Scopes convicted for teaching evolution, creationism remains prevalent in the U.S. Despite scientific consensus on evolution and the Earth's age, polls show 17-37% of Americans hold creationist beliefs. These beliefs are promoted by institutions like Answers in Genesis, which operates the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky.
