The Scopes Monkey Trial - Part 3

This is Part 3 of a three part series.  The first two are from my article on the Scopes Trial from Origins Research associated with Access Research Network:

“The Scopes Trial and After,” Origins Research (later Origins & Design), Vol. 2, No. 2, Sep-Oct 1979, pp. 5,6.

My #1 book I plug on this topic is Monkey Business by Marvin Olasky (World Mag):

Christ taught that we live in a youthful world, so that eliminates #Darwinism right away.  Jesus' AGE verses: Mk. 10:6, Mk. 13:19-20, Lk. 11:50,51.  The Butler Act references "the story of the Divine creation of man as taught in the Bible."  At the beginning of the trial only Genesis Chapter One was read!  The Second chapter of Genesis gives the details of Man's Origin.  Furthermore, there are tons of verses throughout the Bible that relate to the "Divine creation of man."

 

What is mankind that you are mindful of them,

    human beings that you care for them?

You have made them a little lower than the angels

    and crowned them with glory and honor.

You made them rulers over the works of your hands;

    you put everything under their feet. (Ps. 8:4-6)

 

But at the beginning of creation God "made them male and female." (Mk. 10:6)

 

For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them [including Man], but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (Ex. 20:11)

 

Man is made in God's Image and has Dominion.  Adam and Eve were made at the beginning of the world, not millions of years later.  Our work week parallels Creation Week - no room for Deep Time.

In 1923, Oklahoma banned texts that contained the "Darwin Theory of Creation versus the Bible Account of Creation" (Scopes Monkey Trial - Moore & McComas, p. 11).

Moore & McComas fail to include George McCready Price (d. 1963) in their index.  If Price had testified at the trial, there may have been a vastly different outcome - he was away in England.  Price wrote Evolutionary Geology and the New Catastrophism, Were the Fossils Contemporary?, Report on Evolution and many other works.
