Reply to comment by No-Owl9201 in TIL John Scopes, a high school teacher in Tennessee, was arrested and tried for merely teaching the theory of evolution in 1925. by JesusLikesHisCheezIt

Ok, not to be an asshole, but your comment ironically displays a lack of understanding of what evolution actually means in order to make a rather tired and overused joke about rejecting the theory of evolution in favor of a religious explanation for life.

I say this as an atheist and somebody who is probably on "your side" politically - that's dumb.
