THE JOHN T. SCOPES TRIAL

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 said 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.

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 will turn, there's a lesson you will learn:
The old religion's better, after all.

Then the folks throughout the land saw his house was built on sand
And they said, "we will not listen anymore."
So they told him he was wrong, and it was not very long
Till he found that he was barred from every door.

Oh, you must not doubt the word that is 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 will turn, there's a lesson you will learn:
The old religion's better, after all.

--Vernon Dalhart, 1925

The problem with this is that so called ‘old’ religion is not from God. No where in the whole of the Bible is there one statement, hint, or instruction this earth is a mere 6,000 years old. Or that all peoples came from only Adam and Eve.

The literal evidence demonstrates this earth is very, very, very old. No one can say with certainty how old. There was an age before the soul/spirit was placed in a flesh body. Now based upon the genealogy of the Adam the amount of time passed from his formation, is not that far off from 6,000 years. But that was not the beginning of time or the existence of the souls/spirit intellect. That is what makes evolution a fairy tale/tail. This flesh age has an expiration date affixed to it when the last soul/spirit is conceived in a flesh body. When? Only God knows.
