I was aware that this staged trial ignited the Modernist vs. Fundamentalist battle in 1925.
I've only heard mostly talks of it from the Reformed circle until I came across it again in William Lane Craig's podcast series: Reasonable Faith on 9/1/2025, titled: Was This the Greatest Trial on Earth? Part Two.
In the interview, Dr. Joshua Swamidass noted that the earlier Reformers (particularly at the beginning of the 20th century) were mostly Old Earth. I think the Young Earth is really a new thing being popularized by Henry Morris. Not ignoring the fact that both views are found in earlier ancient time.
After the Fundamentalists turned into anti-intellectuals or isolation culture, WLC and Swamidass credited a few evangelists who broke that isolation barrier in U.S., building a bridge with the scientific community:
Carl F.H. Henry
Harold Ockenga
Harold Lindsell
Bernard Ramm
Billy Graham
So I never heard of anyone above but Billy Graham. It's time I look into these folks. With Bernard Ramm being an interesting student of Karl Barth.
