By John M. Grondelski, Ph.D., Catholic World Report - Catholic theology long recognized that the Book of Genesis teaches that God created, not how God created. Those are two separate questions... On July 21, 1925, a Tennessee jury convicted John Scopes of teaching evolution. The “Scopes Monkey Trial” has gone down in American history as the caricature of the fight between “religion” and “science.”... Why a caricature? Because there is no such conflict. Except, perhaps, on the fundamentalist terms that both Scopes and his “scientific” opponents played it out.
