This is my grandpa and it is filmed at my parents house in Albuquerque, NM He was quite a guy! Besides being the official geologist at this trial, he stood up for a lot of different things while at Harvard.

I mean, thad god has all things. Indeed before the first firsion of the bible, and before the first testment, there were beasts, before mankind adom and eve. Before the creation of our humankind earth. Before that wae the kingdom of beasts, God then has came to earth. To earth It was re-civialized to humankind. Darkened then lighented. As a mother giving birth. A baby born into the light.

Just, look at the the other teachings as well as one in all. Books before the bible and after. There is a link. And scientists are ones who have educational resources, they do try hard. Hard enough to proove to the unbeliever that there is GOD. To proove good has indeed created our whole universe. And we all all are one whole subjuct. HUMAN!

God , has gave us wisdom, and therefore beyond belief, on our behalf it is to learn, and acknowlage, the teachings, of the ones with wisdom, and higher education, beyond our teachings to learn. Plus accept how far they studied. Maby, perhaps all people know is only bible teachings. I do re-assure it all accordinates. Well in another manner let me tell you. Native peoples were before the bible and had no writings. Cause they were so so old the dissengrated. No interepation was involved.

WHY can't religious people understand that whatever is "divine" to them might not be "divine" to others? they always talk about "the divine words" of their primitive "holy books" as if it is how everybody perceive them too. no, to you they are "divine", but to many others they are NOT "divine". in fact, to the majority of people on earth the word "divine" is meaningless. Do you understand and accept the truth that there are people who do NOT believe in what you religious people believe in?

The narrator states correctly that the trial was promoted by the ACLU and local businessmen. He fails to mention that Scopes never actually taught evolution. The fraudulent nature of the trialk was admitted by Scopes in his memoir Center of the Storm. The facts and circumstances of the trial are explaiuned in Chapter Three ("The Great Scopes Scam") of Eugene Windchy's The End of Darwinism.

I love this rare video footage. It explains a lot about why people say it was a "setup trail." It's kind of true, but not the way people like to tell it.
