No objection to people not believing in evolution. That’s their private business. They just shouldn’t be teaching anything that would tempt them to make their personal beliefs public.

Charles Darwin was a religious man, his findings depressed him.

The problem is state run education. Everyone tries to dictate what it can and can’t teach. With private education the parents pick what they want their kids to learn by picking a school that offers it.

The Trollinger reference abstract indicates that their analysis is not going to be based on arguments about scientific facts, but a general overview of the modern creationist viewpoints. Their analysis claims that creationists REJECT biology, geology, cosmology. A very simplistic, and poor summary of the creationist ideas. But creationists have such a different view of biological history that any idea which goes against evolutionary dogma is considered rejection of modern science.
“Better not step outta’ line you anti-scientific creationists, you.”

The John T. Scopes Case--Vernon Dalhart (1925)

Oh the folks in Tennessee are as faithful as can be,
And they know the Bible teaches what is right.
They believe in God above and his great undying love
And they know they are protected by his might.

Then to Dayton came a man with his new ideas, so grand,
And he claimed we came from monkeys long ago.
But in teaching his belief, Mr. Scopes found only grief
For they would not let their old religion go.

Then the folks throughout the land saw his house was built on sand,
And they said they would not listen anymore.
So they told him he was wrong, and it wasn't very long
That he found that he was barred from every door.

Oh, you must not doubt the word that was written by the Lord,
For if you do, your house will surely fall.
And Mr. Scopes will learn that wherever he may turn,
The old religion's better after all.

You may find the new belief, it will only bring you grief,
For a house that's built on sand will surely fall.
And wherever you may turn, there's a lesson you will learn:
The old religion's better after all.
--Carson Robison, 1925

The reference to Woodrow Wilson as supposedly anti racism taints the paper.

“the legal rights of the black man… there can be no question. The negro is a citizen, and as a citizen is entitled to all of the guarantees of the federal and state constitutions. He has freedom to speak and to write; freedom of conscience and the right ‘to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ In these respects, there is no distinction between him and the white man.”


Quite a principled man of his times. What bothers me about those RIGHTS is how the left has switched from being racist to more than fully embracing them.
I am curious about Bryan views on the black man’s duties.

“religious belief pitted against scientific fact.”

That’s where I stopped reading. I was a believer in evolution until I took a real hard look at how extremely complex living organism are. All the components that make everything work. Taking into account the human and animal brains. I’ve concluded this could not have happened by accident, even over the course of a million years or so. It’s all by intelligent design. It’s the only way it can be explained.

It is my opinion that Evolution is a theory and not a scientific law. It is not perfect and there are flaws as a result of our own imperfections and flaws as mortal men. When we study something like the evolution of humans we are in fact studying God’s work which is ultimately beyond our comprehension. To the degree that some aspects of the Theory of Evolution has some merits than those who totally reject the theory are in fact rejecting the works of God.
