The Scopes Monkey Trial

It is a story when Shichihei Yamamoto of the commentator becomes the captive of U.S. forces in wartime in the Philippines and invited the end of the war.

There was a first lieutenant called Horton in the camp. One day, Yamamoto got an unexpected question by this man. ‘’Do you know that the human beings evolved from a monkey?’’ Yamamoto said ‘’Yes, I know it.’’ Horton said ‘’why do you know it?? Do you believe it??’’ Yamamoto didn’t know what he said that about. ‘’I knew such a thing with a magazine called the science of the child. And I believe it’’ he said. And so on, he said’’ the theory of evolution is taught in the elementary school in Japan. Doesn’t the American learn about it??’’ And Horton got quite and said ’’In the US, It was forbidden teaching the theory of evolution in a public school building.’’

A trial called The Scopes Monkey Trial was held on July 21, 1925. This is about because there was much Christianity in Tennessee, it was forbidden by a law that I taught the theory of evolution unlike a description of the Creation of the Bible in child and others in a public school. However, I have been arrested because the teacher, the John scopes of the science had taught children the theory of evolution. In addition, when the human beings evolved from a monkey, I expressed Darwin's evolutionary theory and was called Monkey Trial. Furthermore, the result became the lost case of the scope side.

Horton related above to Yamamoto. Yamamoto said ‘’I can’t understand why The theory of evolution is denied.’’ Horton said ‘’You Japanese said that the Emperor was Son of God grandchild and such human, such God until now. Does not this contradict Darwin's evolutionary theory?’’ Yamamoto was surprised to hear that. He didn’t notice that Darwin's evolutionary theory contradicted an Emperor theory. Yamamoto said ‘’I learned them in Japan, but I embraced without much resistance feeling that's one thing, this is another.’’ Horton said ‘’The American has an awful suffering and tangle to receive this theory of evolution.’’
World most phenomena are changed by the fundamentalist of a Judaist a Christian and the Muslim. And I am conscious or unconscious, and their religion prescribes their thought and action. In other words it is fundamentalism. There is not the country where Darwin's evolutionary theory was received smoothly any place other than Japan. Yamamoto though people of foreign country tend to give priority to religion over science. It is the story that a Japanese cannot possibly understand why the theory of evolution is denied.
