Review of Inherit the Wind (1960) by Jason G — 06 Jun 2007

I recommend this movie. This movie enacts the infamous "Scopes" trial in which Darwinism is put on trial. It follows a young school teacher who reads Darwin and begins teaching it to his class.

The local authorities have him arrested and put on trial. We see the battle between creationism and Darwinisn unfold before us. The movie slants in favor of Darwin, but every Christian should see this movie.

I am a pastor. Most Christians would say this was a tool of Satan to help spread Darwinian evolution as a fact of Science. That may be true, but, Christians must be forced to examine their faith and discover why they serve Christ.

I believe that Christianity is a reasonable faith. This movie forces you to look to the Scriptures and study the evidence for both evotion and intelligent design. Good movie!
