Answer :
The conflict between science and religion in the 1920's was most clearly shown in the (1) trial of John Scopes. The trial of John Scopes was about a substitute high school teacher who spoke about evolution in Tennessee where at the time it was banned because of the Butler Act to teach evolution. This showed the dominance of religion at the time over science as people felt at the time that biblical Christian stories were more relevant to the beginning of the world than evolution.
