Alright, just to give a background on this law suit, a teacher (Scopes) in the States stood trial in 1925 for teaching about evolution. His lawyer, Darrow shamed the prosecutor, a fundamentalist named William Jennings Bryan by asking him questions about the Bible that dug up its flaws. Scopes lost but Bryan's reputation was damaged.

So what do you think? Evolution? or Creationism? I believe in Evolution personally.

I liked learning about the Monkey Trials.

"You insult every man of science and learning in the world because he does not believe in your fool religion." Clarence Darrow

I am confused nichodemus are we discussing the trial or evolution?
