 * Guiding Questions **

- Science influenced this court case because it was a controversy between evolution and creationism. The state of Arkansas had given a teacher, Ms. Epperson a new textbook that contained teaching material on Evolution. They said that this went against some religious beliefs and did not want it to be taught. This was like the Scopes vs Tenessee case.

- This court case was very similar to the “Scopes Trial”. The “Epperson vs Arkansas” lead to conflicts among the society. People were disagreeing but did not want to listen to what each other had to say. The government did not want to get involved because it was a matter regarding religion. The government did not want to seem biased but they made it up to the people to resolve the conflict on their own.



- Science in this case proved that the people and government in Arkansas did not interact with each other well. Some people believed in evolution and some believed in creationism but the government did not want to help resolve the controversy. This allows us to see that the science in this court case impacted the way the people and government interact.

- This case has been resolved and the outcome of it is that it is illgal ban evolution. At first the government did not want to take part in this conflict but then they realized that the people needed their help. After the government stepped in the controversy was solved because people learned that you can have religion and still be able to accept where we came from and let it be taught to students.
