Episode Information
|
After visiting an evolution exhibit, Ned Flanders pushes Mayor Quimby to appoint Reverend Lovejoy as a "Morality Czar" in charge of spreading the theory of creationism. Darwin's theories are quickly outlawed and Lisa finds herself and a small band of classmates as the only supporters of the scientific theory. Lisa is later arrested for holding secret evolution classes and is forced to defend her beliefs in front of a judge with the help of a hated new york lawyer while being prosecuted by a beloved southern attorney. In the 11th hour, Marge stumbles across Lisa's copy of the origin of species, after reading it she changes her view and helps her daughter to call Ned Flanders to the stand. She gives Homer a bottle of beer, Homer is estatic but becomes increasingly agitated when he can't open it, eventually acting like a monkey. Homer’s antics cause Ned to crack under pressure and call Homer a 'Monkey faced Gorilla' which Lisa's lawyer capitalises on by forcing Ned to admit that Homer does indeed look like the missing link that the prosecutors were basing their argument and the case falls apart. In the end Lisa comforts a dejected Ned by saying that she respects his beliefs but that that science and religon should stay seperate, that she wouldn't want a scientist to teach religon anymore than a priest should teach science. Something which Ned can agree with.
