Drummond vs. Brady trial Evolutionism vs. Creationism

Brady and Drummond argue over the truth in evolution and the Bible. Drummond is a skilled attorney supporting the teachings of evolution in school, while Brady is opposed to teaching evolution in school and only wants the Bible to be taught.

Drummond starts off by making a lot of jokes at Brady that make the crowd laugh and taunt Brady. He shows him a rock that was millions of years old, and Brady says "no your wrong the earth was created on October 23, 4004 B.C. at 9 am, So this rock is no older than 6000 years." Drummond then says, "9 am, Eastern standard time? Or was it daylight savings? If the sun wasn't created until the 4th day then how would you know the exact time the earth was created? How do you know how long the first day was?" Brady answers, "The bible says it was a day." Drummond asks, "could it have been a 25 hour day?" Brady says, "yes, it's possible." After that Drummond had pretty much won. He had gotten Brady to doubt himself. Drummond then stated: "The bible is just a book, a good book." As the everyone left Brady yelled verses and prophets from the Bible, trying to get the courtroom to agree with him, but Drummond had already won.

The court room is very heated right now as Drummond and Brady are arguing over the validity of the Bible. Drummond, a brilliant attorney is in favor of teaching evolution in schools, while Brady says evolution has to be banned and only the theory of creationism should be taught.

Brady is supporting his position on the issue by saying that evolution must be false, since humans have a superior intellect to all other creatures. Right at this moment, Bryan is looking extremely foolish by responding to Drummond's "Sponge" questions, the crowd is favoring Drummond at this point. Brady says that according to Bishop Usher, the exact date of the creation was on October 23, 4004 BC. Drummond shows a rock and says that according to a scientist, the rock is over 14 million years old, completely contradicting Brady's argument.

Drummond just approached the bench, and is questioning Brady about the creation of the Earth; he is saying: "How do you know how long the first day of the world lasted if there was no sun or light to measure the time yet?" Brady is stumped, he stutters as he tries to explain, eventually reaching an answer: "I don't know, the bible says its a day". Drummond responds: "Is it possible the first day was a 25 hour day?" Brady's expression shows that he already knows that Drummond caught him. "Yes, I guess it is possible" he replies reluctantly. The crowd just went wild, everyone is screaming and cheering Drummond on.

Brady is continuously assaulting Drummond, saying he is trying to disprove the Bible, and saying that only he is right. Drummond just proceeded to call Brady a "self-proclaimed prophet of Nebraska", the crowd is laughing uncontrollably. The presiding judge just adjourned the court, and wait, Brady is trying to sway to crowd in his favor! He is incomprehensibly yelling about the Bible and reciting verses and prophets, apparently this strategy isn't working; the crowd is making its way out of court.

Brady, like Drummond, is an amazing lawyer but it is apparent that he is not going to win this case.

Scopes Trial

We are gathered today in Hilboro, Tenneessee for the Scopes Monkey Trial, the case between religion and evolution. As tension rises, the ultimate question being asked is, can we defy the original interpretations of the Bible?

Clarence Darrow defends Scopes with the suggestion that they must leave their faith in God in order to expand their knowledge of the world. Prosecutor William Jennings Brian opposes this theory exclaiming that they mustn't leave their faith of the Lord. The jury of course instinctively rejects Darrow's defiance to the Lord as the believers they are.

However, Darrow wasn't just speaking nonsense, as discovered by his sponge theory. Darrow challenged Brady as he asked whether or not a sponge obtained the same rights as a human being. The jury was astonished as they realized Darrow's intentions. Darrow continued to challenge Brady as he introduced the stone as another variable of evolution. He asked for the age of the stone triggering the debate over the creation of Earth.While the Bible states that the Earth was created over the time period of six days, the question asked was how long were these days?

Darrow asks Bryan "Do you think the earth was made in six days?" as Bryan answered, "Not six days of 24 hours." This of course proved to audiences that in fact, Bryan himself had assumed his own interpretation of the Bible, the ultimate factor that distinguished innocence and guilt for John Scopes.

In the end, the only real answer we have is the unknown; Meaning the truth one decides to follow is simply theory based on the Bible.

Inherit the Wind: Espanol

Hay muchos pictuas de monos y biblias. Muchas personas estan caminando cerda del edificio.
Ahora, estamos en Hillsborough, TN en los Estados Unidos.

Drummond piensa que fe no sea la contesta para todo.
Brady piensa que la biblia sea la mejor palabra del mundo.

Drummond habla a Brady en una trampa. Brady dice que es posible que la biblia no es corecta. Ellos hablan sobre la creacion del mundo, y cuantos dias o horas fue. Davenport grita que es ilegal para dice que la biblia no es corecta.

Las personas les gusta Brady y su argumento. Ahora, Drummond no ha hecho un argumento bueno para la gente. Brady esta muy nervioso y Drummond esta muy contento.

Drummond esta ganado con su argumento. El dice que Brady piensa que el sea el "Prophet de Nebraska". Brady no tiene control sobre sus aciones. El juez no le gusta el.

Welcome to U.S. History Blog (D)

We are starting the class blog this fall with articles from an international press corps.  The "reporters" are students in D-period U.S. History class.  We read aloud part of the play Inherit the Wind which was based on the famous so-called "monkey trial" of John Scopes - 1925.  Students will be writing in a variety of languages.  Other students in the class are asked to read an article and then make comments (using the COMMENT feature) on one of them.
