The Meaning of "Inherit the Wind"

I think the meaning of Inherit the Wind lies in the seperation of "Inherit" and "the Wind". To inherit means to pass something down through generations. In this case, religion was passed down through the close-knit, conservative families of Hillsboro. The wind is unseen and although we know it's there, we still can't see it; we can try to guess why it's there, but yet, we are only left to assume. This is how the earth came to be; we dont' know for sure, but have different theories, like evolution and the big bang theory.
