    As a new wave of science emerged under those such as Charles Darwin in the 1920s, conflicts soon emerged between science and religion. After much research, Charles Darwin proposed a new Theory of Evolution, claiming that all living things were on Earth due to long term genetic mutations between species. By claiming humans came from a common ancestor to apes Darwin rejected the religious belief of divine creation expressed in the Bible. Social conflict quickly emerged between Modernists (who believed in Evolution), and Fundamentalists (who believed in creation), and heated debates grew over what concept to teach in school. A prime example of this conflict was the Scopes Trial, in which a high school teacher was tried, found guilty, and fined…
