The playwrights imply that the themes of their play are timeless and universal because no matter what day and age these themes will still be relevent. For example, evolution vs. creationism, that is still discussed today. Religious people are still debating what Drummond said, "How long were the first three days before the sun was made." So, could evolution have happened?
Also, separation between church and state, that still goes on today. There are still people who say that there is not a complete separation between these two. Some say that the government tries to teach morality.
Lastly, stand for your beliefs even if you have to stand alone. Cates had to stand alone, but he still did, just like today. There are so many quotes or songs about standing up for what you believe or you'll fall for anything. In this election that is going on if you go on to Obama's website it says that he had to stand alone when going against the war in Iraq.
