What was on trial wasn't whether evolution was true, but whether teaching evolution should be illegal. The trial was more or less a put-up job - Scopes was approached by the ACLU to make himself a test case, and he agreed.
The trial brought a lot of money into a small town, which was the whole point.

Controversy sells and self absorbed atheists are some of the biggest suckers for it the world has ever seen. Right now, some people are trying to put together a reality show with flat earthers. It will be a show for suckers. The subject material is intentionally stupid so that people can feel like geniuses when they buy books proving that the earth is round. The evolution controversy is exactly the same thing. And probably every single one of you has parted with some of your hard earned cash to take part in it. A lunatic fringe that denies evolution was marketed to you people because you're dumb as fuck.
Why all the invective and hostility? I was simply pointing up a little bit of history about the Scopes trial.
