Scopes Satire

To me a satire is one of the most comical, and entertaining pieces of writing. The satire on science is especially sarcastic. The author says that science is disrupting the beliefs of religious people, and that these people would rather keep their children ignorant than have them expand their knowledge base, and he says normal people like coal miners will never need to know this, why should we teach something that will encourage normal people to ask question. It is very entertaining to hear the exact complete opposite of what we came to believe in the book.
