then Earth would be perfect. The theory of evolution, produced by Darwin, states that there isn't a 'God' at all. There is no authenticated evidence to suggest that 'God' does exist.

be manipulated even back then. So, this was a staged case involving a substitute teacher that was allegedly teaching about the Darwin Theory. Tennessee had previously passed the Butler Act and per that he was in clear violation of the law. This case was the test case to prove the unconstitutionality of the Butler Case.
