In the first episode of the weeklong series "Evolution Schmevolution,"Jon Stewart explains why creation myths are so important to cultures across the world. Ed Helms visits Dayton, Tennessee, a city that hasn't evolved since it hosted the Scopes Monkey trial in 1925. Later, Jon examines the f**kers who mishandled the response to Hurricane Katrina from the national to the local level. Author Chris Mooney helps Jon figure out who the generally-faceless " scientific community" actually is.
