• Building on exhaustive research and probing into such diverse enterprises as textbook production and marketing, public education, and state-level politics, Adam R. Shapiro has situated the Scopes trial within a much broader context than any scholar before him. Trying Biology also demonstrates how ideologues have used differing interpretations of the Scopes trial to advance their agendas. By situating the trial within this much broader framework, the author has significantly enlarged our understanding of the conversations between religion and science in twentieth-century America.

• If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach it in the public school, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools, and the next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and newspapers. Soon you may set Catholic against Protestant and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the minds of men.

• Así, en un aspecto crucial, las audiencias de Kansas repiten la pauta establecida por el Juicio Scopes, que se ha repetido muchas veces desde entonces, a saber, los evolucionistas escaparon al escrutinio crítico al no tener que someterse al contrainterrogatorio. En este caso, lograron la hazaña boicoteando las audiencias. Por lo tanto, espero el día en que las audiencias no sean voluntarias, sino que impliquen citaciones que obliguen a los evolucionistas a declarar y a ser interrogados largamente sobre sus puntos de vista.

• Life may not be exactly pleasant, but it is at least not dull. Heave yourself into Hell today, and you may miss, tomorrow or next day, another Scopes trial, or another War to End War, or perchance a rich and buxom widow with all her first husband's clothes. There are always more Hardings hatching. I advocate hanging on as long as possible.

• Como señaló una vez Karl Marx: Hegel dice en alguna parte que todos los grandes hechos y personajes de la historia mundial ocurren, por así decirlo, dos veces. Olvidó añadir: la primera vez como tragedia, la segunda como farsa". William Jennings Bryan y el juicio Scopes fueron una tragedia. Los creacionistas y los teóricos del diseño inteligente son una farsa.
