Scopes Trial
The Scopes trial was an interesting experience to have an formal argument on the subject on intelligent design. I learned how to be careful with what statements I make as a witness because the opposing Legal team could testify something out of my argument and make me seem as a supporter on their side. As a witness, I believe it is important to research the concept of the person ahead of time, so you have much more to say to the person in the other Legal team. Legal teams sometimes try to ask the same question, in a different from, to get you to say what they want to hear, like that you support their idea of not having intelligent design being taught. I also see importance to have communication between the Legal team and Witnesses, so both sides could be prepared to testify against the other Legal team. They could be prepared with information, or even questions that could be asked by the other Legal team. In the end, I thought this trail was useful to understand the concepts I have just mentioned.
