Answer:

Darwinism

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1925, a teacher of Physics and Maths named John scopes taught the Theory of evolution proposed by Charles Darwin in a public school of Tennessee.

In Tennessee, the teaching of evolution was a misdemeanour or illegal according to the Butler act. The religious communities believed in the Bible that all organisms are the same from the beginning of the Universe. When he taught evolution, he was charged with the violation of the Butler act. The case was brought into the courthouse and the trial began for the case.

This trial was known as Scopes Monkey trial and the was between the religious conservatives (anti- evolutionists) and the evolutionary or supporting the Darwinism.

Thus, Darwinism is the correct answer.
