Scopes II has already occurred. Haven't you heard? In fact there was a
book by that title. Did you read it? In fact, I think that we are
getting ready for Scopes IV.
Speaking of Scopes, he wrote his own story called THE CENTER OF THE
STORM. I read it. Did you? He said he did not know enough about
evolution to have taught it. He simply LIED at the trial and claimed
that he had taught evolution, at the request of the ACLU, so that they
could have a test case.
At the trial, Clarence Darrow held up the tooth of an extinct pig and
claimed that it was from Nebraska Man!
