You have to pay for it. 1415 01:38:45,955 --> 01:38:49,301 Sometimes I think there's a man behind a counter who says: 1416 01:38:49,375 --> 01:38:55,058 "You can have a telephone but you lose privacy and the charm of distance." 1417 01:38:55,131 --> 01:38:58,228 "Madam, you may vote, but at a price." 1418 01:38:58,301 --> 01:39:04,149 "You lose the right to retreat behind the powder puff or your petticoat." 1419 01:39:04,223 --> 01:39:07,605 "Mister, you may conquer the air, 1420 01:39:07,685 --> 01:39:13,949 but the birds will lose their wonder and the clouds will smell of gasoline." 1421 01:39:14,025 --> 01:39:17,702 Darwin took us forward to a hilltop, 1422 01:39:17,778 --> 01:39:20,827 from where we could see the way from which we came. 1423 01:39:20,907 --> 01:39:24,086 But for this insight and for this knowledge, 1424 01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:29,000 we must abandon our faith in the pleasant poetry of Genesis. 1425 01:39:29,081 --> 01:39:33,720 We must not abandon faith! Faith is the most important thing! 1426 01:39:33,794 --> 01:39:37,009 Then why did God plague us with the power to think? 1427 01:39:37,089 --> 01:39:41,016 Mr. Brady, why do you deny the one faculty of man 1428 01:39:41,093 --> 01:39:44,226 that raises him above the other creatures of the earth? 1429 01:39:44,305 --> 01:39:48,896 The power of his brain to reason. What other merit have we? 1430 01:39:48,976 --> 01:39:52,274 The elephant is larger. The horse is swifter and stronger. 1431 01:39:52,355 --> 01:39:57,029 The butterfly is far more beautiful. The mosquito is more prolific. 1432 01:39:57,109 --> 01:40:02,709 Even the simple sponge is more durable. Or does a sponge think? 1433 01:40:02,782 --> 01:40:05,463 I don't know. I am a man, not a sponge. 1434 01:40:05,535 --> 01:40:07,587 (LAUGHTER) 1435 01:40:07,662 --> 01:40:09,881 Do you think a sponge thinks? 1436 01:40:09,956 --> 01:40:13,752 If the Lord wishes a sponge to think, it thinks. 1437 01:40:15,002 --> 01:40:18,715 Do you think a man should have the same privilege as a sponge? 1438 01:40:18,798 --> 01:40:20,269 Of course. 1439 01:40:20,341 --> 01:40:26,024 This man wishes to be accorded the same privilege as a sponge. 1440 01:40:26,097 --> 01:40:29,194 He wishes to think. 1441 01:40:35,273 --> 01:40:36,744 (GAVEL) 1442 01:40:36,816 --> 01:40:41,537 But your client is wrong.

Colonel Drummond, 1448 01:41:08,097 --> 01:41:12,688 you managed to sneak in some of that scientific testimony after all. 1449 01:41:12,768 --> 01:41:15,698 Look, Mr. Brady. 1450 01:41:15,771 --> 01:41:21,027 These are the fossil remains of a marine prehistoric creature found in this county, 1451 01:41:21,110 --> 01:41:26,460 and which lived here millions of years ago when these mountain were underwater. 1452 01:41:26,532 --> 01:41:29,166 I know. The Bible gives a fine account of the Flood. 1453 01:41:29,243 --> 01:41:31,794 But your professor's mixed up on his dates. 1454 01:41:31,871 --> 01:41:34,968 That rock is not more than 6,000 years old. 1455 01:41:35,041 --> 01:41:36,512 How do you know? 1456 01:41:36,584 --> 01:41:39,218 A fine biblical scholar, Bishop Ussher, 1457 01:41:39,295 --> 01:41:43,091 has determined for us the exact date and hour of the Creation. 1458 01:41:43,174 --> 01:41:46,935 It occurred in the year 4004 BC. 1459 01:41:49,096 --> 01:41:52,276 Well, that's Bishop Ussher's opinion. 1460 01:41:52,350 --> 01:41:57,487 It's not an opinion. It's a fact, which the bishop arrived at through computation 1461 01:41:57,563 --> 01:42:01,360 of the ages of the prophets as set down in the Old Testament. 1462 01:42:01,442 --> 01:42:08,334 In fact, he determined that the Lord began the Creation on 23rd October, 4004 BC, 1463 01:42:08,407 --> 01:42:10,495 at 9am. 1464 01:42:14,330 --> 01:42:17,343 Is that Eastern Standard Time? 1465 01:42:17,416 --> 01:42:20,050 Or Rocky Mountain Time? 1466 01:42:20,127 --> 01:42:24,932 It wasn't Daylight Saving Time, the Lord didn't make the sun until the fourth day. 1467 01:42:25,007 --> 01:42:26,265 That is correct. 1468 01:42:26,342 --> 01:42:29,806 That first day, what do you think it was? 24 hours long? 1469 01:42:29,887 --> 01:42:32,853 - The Bible says it was a day. - There was no sun. 1470 01:42:32,932 --> 01:42:35,151 How do you know how long it was? 1471 01:42:35,226 --> 01:42:39,817 - The Bible says it was a day. - A normal day, a literal day, 24-hour day? 1472 01:42:39,897 --> 01:42:43,610 - I don't know. - What do you think? 1473 01:42:44,777 --> 01:42:48,371 I do not think about things I do not think about. 1474 01:42:48,447 --> 01:42:51,876 Do you ever think about things that you do think about? 1475 01:42:51,951 --> 01:42:55,048 Isn't it possible that it could have been 25 hours? 1476 01:42:55,121 --> 01:42:58,004 There's no way to measure it, no way to tell. 1477 01:42:58,082 --> 01:43:01,345 - Could it have been 25 hours? - It's possible. 1478 01:43:01,419 --> 01:43:04,468 Then you interpret that the first day, 1479 01:43:04,547 --> 01:43:09,186 as recorded in the Book of Genesis, could have been a day of indeterminate length? 1480 01:43:09,260 --> 01:43:14,148 I mean to state that it is not necessarily a 24-hour day. 1481 01:43:14,223 --> 01:43:17,521 It could have been 3O hours. Could have been a week. 1482 01:43:17,602 --> 01:43:21,030 Could have been a month. Could have been a year, 100 years. 1483 01:43:21,105 --> 01:43:23,324 Or it could have been ten million years. 1484 01:43:23,399 --> 01:43:27,789 I protest! This is not only irrelevant, immaterial, it is illegal! 1485 01:43:27,862 --> 01:43:31,208 I demand to know the purpose of Mr. Drummond's examination. 1486 01:43:31,282 --> 01:43:37,582 He wants to destroy everybody's belief in the Bible and in God. 1487 01:43:37,663 --> 01:43:40,249 That's not true and you know it. 1488 01:43:41,292 --> 01:43:44,555 The Bible is a book. It's a good book. 1489 01:43:44,629 --> 01:43:46,848 But it is not the only book. 1490 01:43:46,923 --> 01:43:52,475 It the revealed word of the Almighty God, spake to the men who wrote the Bible. 1491 01:43:52,553 --> 01:43:55,353 How do you know God didn't spake to Charles Darwin? 1492 01:43:55,431 --> 01:43:58,978 I know because God tells me to oppose the evil teachings of that man. 1493 01:43:59,060 --> 01:44:03,699 God speaks to you? He tells you what is right and wrong? You act accordingly? 1494 01:44:03,773 --> 01:44:08,447 So you, Matthew Harrison Brady, through oratory or legislature or whatever, 1495 01:44:08,528 --> 01:44:12,289 you pass on God's orders to the rest of the world! 1496 01:44:12,365 --> 01:44:16,422 Well, meet the prophet from Nebraska! 1497 01:44:16,494 --> 01:44:20,421 - I...
