The scopes trial brought conflict between the teaching of evolution and religious fundamentalism to a head. Scopes Trial (also known as Scopes Monkey Trial) is an American case that took place in 1925 due to the substitute high school teacher's accusation in violating Butler Act by teaching human evolution. This act prohibited teachers from denying the Biblical account of man's origin, so the description of conflict between the teaching of evolution and religious issues belongs to this judicial event.
