Regardless of the cause, course and subject matter of the case, for those journalists who are lax in their work and swayed by preconceived notions, Darrow's and Scopes' statements alone after the court's verdict were enough to confuse and misdirect their judgments and opinions. In particular, Darrow declared, "We have here done all we can to beat back a foul current that is growing and spreading through the modern world, ...... that is, the validation of every fact in science by a religious creed." Scopes, on the other hand, emphasized the injustice of his conviction, and that he would fight to the end, as he always had, in keeping with the idea of academic freedom. (, p.313) As a result of this, the general reaction of the press drastically deviated from its proper principles of factuality, accuracy, fairness, and comprehensiveness, and in particular missed the level of the subject matter of the trial as well as Bryan's voice by more than a few degrees, if not a fundamental loss of insight.On January 15, 1927, the Tennessee Superior Court rendered its final judgment, i.e., it found that the Butler Act was constitutional and had been violated by Scopes. . (, pp. 469-472) The effects of this trial, however, were far from over. The bias of the media affected not only the general public, but also the views of historians. [13] And most people's knowledge of the case is based only on the legendary stage play and the movie and television "The Hollow" from 1955 onward. However, little attention has been paid to the script's preface, which states that it was inspired by the case, but not based on it, and that "The Hollow is not history", but based on "not too distant" events - some historians claim that it was 1954 that inspired the play. -Some historians have argued that it was the McCarthy hearings of 1954. There is a fundamental difference between the plot of The Hollow and the Scopes trial. [1] But to the general public, the Scopes Trial was simply another classic case of Darwinism's triumph, not even remotely comparable to the great debate between Archbishop Wilberforce and Huxley that took place on June 30, 1860, in Oxford, England. However, the scientific community at the time and since has not been proud of it - one of the reasons being that the so-called "Nebraskans" had a bad reputation, and even the standard of teaching of evolution had actually declined. For almost 30 years after the trial and until about 1960, science textbooks gave evolution a very low profile, and public discussion of evolution was quiet. It was not until 1967-70 that anti-evolution laws were repealed in the states of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Until now, at least half of the American public believes in creationism and supports its teaching in public schools. [1] This has created many problems, such as the separation of church and state, the teaching of controversial subjects in public schools, and the communication of ideas between scientists and the public.

The spirit of Dayton's mercantile wars, which was initiated by the Scopes Trial, has gone through cycles of rise and fall or has been submerged in the smoke of history, but the significance of the case transcends history: in 1977, its significance was recognized by U.S. officials in the form of the dedication of the Rileigh County Courthouse as a National Historic Site; and since 1988, Dayton's Bryan College and the public interest societies have begun to join forces, particularly under the Scopes Copps trial case file's 1990 third edition of documentary exhibits, performances, festivals, etc., intended to correct to the world the prejudices that had been inherited for 65 years. [1] The outpouring of reaction and interest has shown once again that the Scopes Trial remains "the most famous trial in the world" because of its subject matter, its characters, its publicity techniques, its wide media and historical interest, its twists and turns and its enigmatic face, etc. In the 1850s, the "Monkey Trial" was the most famous trial in the world. In the 1850s, the Monkey Trial was adapted for the stage by Bollywood, and in 1960 the case was adapted into a movie called "Inherit the Wind", which was nominated for an Academy Award.
