Inherit The Wind: The Idea Of Evolution Vs Creationism

Improved Essays
Humans have a way of thinking that puts them above other living things. This way of thinking is how humans can freely express thoughts and how it is used to explore or solve different ideas. Freely expressing thoughts can lead to many important outcomes and discoveries. In Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, the idea of evolution versus creationism is explored when Bertram Cates is arrested for teaching evolution to his students. The idea of freely expressing thoughts ties into evolution versus creation in the play because of how some of the characters view evolution and how people should be allowed to voice their thoughts on it.

In the passage, Henry Drummond is talking about how the idea of freely expression one’s own

    Throughout this course, we were exposed to many ideas about organism classification due to evolutionary linkages, survival of the fittest and random out comes. Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory often creates conflicts with religious teachings in particular, Christianity; many Christians disagree with Darwin’s theory that “man is not the most supreme creature on earth, but humans just evolved from a single cell over long periods of time.” Faith is intangible; it could simply be a belief. Christianity is just a belief, which is the same as Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory, since both of them cannot be proven; which means nobody is wrong, therefore we should be open minded to learn from them that way we could learn more about the world.…

    Evolutionary Creationism is a belief that God created the universe and all life including our surroundings through evolution. We have an old Earth that is 4.6 billion years old. When God was creating the Earth, the seven days weren't made up of our twenty-four hour days. The time he spent was consisted of what we know now as years. This took up a lot of time as well as the many years in between each event in the Bible.…

    Since the beginning of history, mankind has questioned its existence. How did life start? When did life start? Over the centuries, two schools of thought arose, presenting different ideas on the creation of mankind.

    The last scene of Inherit the Wind concludes with Drummond lifting both the Bible and Darwin’s Origin of Species only to slam the two together and lock them away in his briefcase side by side. Drummond taking both books fulfills the message of the importance of freedom of thought. Humanity will never know the how the universe began, nor how mankind actually came to be, however theories such as creationism and evolution allow humanity an answer. Throughout the play, Drummond defends Cates for evolution while Brady and the people of Hillsboro fight for creationism. The town tries everything to stop Drummond and find Cates guilty by denying Drummond’s experts on evolution, but allowing an expert on the Bible like Matthew Brady.…

    Within chapter ten of Where the Conflict Really Lies, Alvin Plantinga creates and shapes the Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism, which begins with a premise titled “Darwin’s Doubt.” This premise argues that true belief, given the existence of evolution by way of naturalism, is extremely low, if not entirely impossible. Plantinga strengthens this argument by discussing material naturalism (specifically reductive and nonreductive materialism). However, over the course of his argument, he ignores the logical possibility of immaterial naturalism, a theory that I argue changes (and possibly destroys) the validity of the EAN. Thus, within this paper, I will argue that Plantinga’s EAN is incomplete, as he does not adequately respond to the…

    The idea of evolution was once taboo for its new ideas at the time, it was seen as wrong because it challenged ideas already established about the world, especially how life came to be. Evolution is a relatively new idea discovered by Charles Darwin. This discovery came to be when Darwin was traveling along the Galapagos islands where he studied finches and discovered that these finches had all originated from one species of finch and eventually became differentiated leading the species to split, based on their environment. However evolution doesn’t just occur, it takes centuries or even millennia to take place and it isn’t the species that adapt to the environment, the environment selects those who survive. This means that only species with favored characteristics for that environment would be allowed to survive and produce offspring while those who do not have these favored characteristics would become extinct, dividing these species into more groups.…

    Imagine a world in which people are merely just humans with no trace of their origin. Such a world is demonstrated in Inherit the Wind, in which religion is considered to be above intelligence, which stifles humankind. Religion is an influential aspect in one’s life which is supposed to “comfort people”, which is not always the case (Lawrence and Lee II II). This play demonstrates a perfect example of this idea where many hindrances were created by religion in the heights mankind could have achieved if it had accepted the fact that evolution was a phenomenon which had occurred. Religion and education both contribute greatly to society, each with their own benefits and drawbacks.…

    Evolution is the theory used to describe exactly why life on earth changes the way it does. It is evident that all things change throughout time, but understanding the reason behind these changes can be infuriating. In Evolution for Everyone, David Sloane Wilson bonds the basic concepts of evolutionary theory with different disciplines such as: art, religion, language, and pro-social behaviors. Wilson establishes a unity between the evolutionary theory and the development of culture, language, art, and other disciplines. Wilson describes the basics of evolutionary theory for the readers who may not be well acquainted with it.…

    For so long humankind has tried to find meaning for his existence. With all their vast knowledge of technology and infrastructure, human beings still question their existence; whether to believe the various creation theory from the various religion or not. Charles Darwin’s book, The Origin of Species, broke the ice by introducing the theory of natural selection. Darwin’s natural selection described evolution as how species develop from small and simple forms into large and complex forms of species gradually over a long period. This theory allows for the survival of the fitness principle where species that have sufficiently adapted can survive and pass on their traits to the next generation.…
