Show Notes

Perhaps the most celebrated defense attorney in the first half of the twentieth century, Clarence Darrow is best known for his role at the Scopes "monkey trial" in the 1920s. But he also was an early champion of the idea that criminals should not be held responsible for their crimes. On this episode of ID The Future, CSC's John West explores Darrow's worldview of deterministic materialism.

For more on Darrow and other materialists be sure to check out West's new book, Darwin Day in America.
