The Scopes Evolution Trial of 1925 is revisited, highlighting the distortion of history in the movie Inherit the Wind, which glorified atheist lawyer Clarence Darrow and evolutionism, portraying creationists as fanatical buffoons. The trial serves as a warning to those promoting the false doctrine of evolution, which is compared to the ungodly who will inherit nothing but wind, while the wise shall inherit glory.

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Inherit the wind. He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. Proverbs 11, 29. This verse was selected to provide the title for one of the most widely distributed movies ever produced in Hollywood.
Inherit the Wind was a black and white movie produced in 1960, starring Spencer Tracy as the famous atheist lawyer Clarence Darrow. The subject of the picture was the Scopes Evolution Trial held in Tennessee in 1925. The picture glorified Darrow and evolutionism, portraying creationists and Bible-believing Christians as fanatical buffoons. Although the movie grossly distorted history, it has continued all these years to be shown over and over. The Scopes trial itself, in the absence of any real scientific evidence for evolution, is repeatedly rehashed in print by evolutionists in their zeal to destroy creationism.
This is typical of the profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science, falsely so-called, to which evolutionists resort in lieu of evidence. As far as the scripture verse itself is concerned, it should serve rather as a sober warning to those evolutionary humanists who are still troubling our nation's homes and schools and churches with this false and deadly doctrine of evolution. They are the ones who will inherit the wind. The ungodly are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Psalm 1:4.
They are the ones who, professing themselves to be wise, become fools, Romans 1.22. Who changes the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator. Romans 1.25. It is the one who proclaims no God who is the fool of our text. Evolutionists, humanists, atheists, and other anti-Biblicists will inherit nothing but wind, but the wise shall inherit glory.
