MONKEY TRIAL BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 1925

Judge Raulston Reading Decision

July 10, 1925: In Dayton, Tennessee, the so-called Scopes
Monkey Trial
began with John Thomas Scopes, a young
high school science teacher, accused of teaching
evolution
in violation of the Butler Act, a Tennessee state law.

The law, passed in March, made it a misdemeanor punishable
by fine to “teach any 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.”

The trial became a national spectacle, with prominent figures
like Clarence Darrow defending Scopes and William Jennings
Bryan assisting the prosecution.

POSSIBLE EVIDENCE OF NOAH’S ARK FOUND

Split image of Noah's Ark painting and Durupinar site 

(FOX NEWS) – A group of international researchers say they’re
getting closer and closer to identifying the possible remains of
Noah’s Ark – and new test results are promising.

The focus of the research, the Durupinar site in eastern Turkey,
was first identified in the 1950s.

For decades, it’s been speculated that the boat-shaped site
once harbored Noah’s Ark, but no definitive proof has emerged.

Now, an organization called Noah’s Ark Scans believes that
recent soil samples point toward the site once housing "ancient
wood."

Researchers collected soil samples from the site last September
and analyzed them through this winter. The results "show
significantly higher levels of organic matter and potassium
compared to
surrounding areas."

According to a recent statement from the organization,
"[The results] provide compelling evidence of a unique,
potentially man-
made structure beneath the surface, distinct
from the surrounding
mudflow."

The statement added, "these findings suggest the presence of
decayed wood or other organic materials, consistent with a large,
ancient structure preserved within the mudflow."
