Hey there, history fans -- time for another trippy trip back in time to the 1920s, that thrilling decade that brought us wacky fads like raccoon coats, bathtub gin, and Christian fundamentalism. This week, we'll take a look at the 1925 Scopes "Monkey trial" and the religious infighting that helped propel it to national headlines. Of course, we'll be looking at it through the lens of two rightwing Christian textbooks aimed at the private school/homeschool market, so you may want to want to pursue some
And if so, what were the sisters&#039; names? We&#039;re relying on a fairly detailed (if completely unbelievable) list of genealogies, <i>by name</i>, Adam to Jehosephat and Jeroboam and so on, to establish the AiG timeline of the world. Doesn&#039;t it undermine the &quot;keep it in the family&quot; hypothesis just a little bit, that the boys&#039; wives (and therefore Adam &amp; Steve&#039;s daughters) aren&#039;t mentioned by name?
<blockquote>The Modernists argued that (1) the Bible is full of errors and unreliable, (2) man is basically good, (3) Jesus is not God</blockquote>
Who knew Muhammad was a turn of the century German evolutionist...
Not even the whole point of having a Southern version of religion, which is to convince white people who don&#039;t have any money that they should despise black and brown people far more than the other white people who make sure they continue not to have any money.
Dodos evolved to perfectly fill their ecological niche, which unfortunately for them was to be slow, nonaggressive but not afraid of nothin&#039;, and exceptionally tasty.
Same ecological niche as cows, really, except cattle predators go to a fair amount of trouble to make sure they survive and reproduce.
The &quot;highest product&quot; concept is an example of Not Thinking It Through. Yes, humanity is the highest product of the evolutionary process to date. So are dogs, cats, pigeons, goldfish, monkeys, trees, and bacteria. Evolution didn&#039;t suddenly cease in 1856, when Big Charlie decided to write a book about the stuff. Every population of every species everywhere has evolved to this point, which is slightly more evolved than when I started this paragraph almost 2 minutes ago.
<i>&quot;The fundamental churches that came out of the Modernist denominations grew and prospered, while the Modernist denominations eventually shrank in size and combined with other liberal denominations.&quot;</i>
A little like saying snake oil salesmen are the best salesmen, because they tricked the most people.
Shit! In my defense I had been enjoying some nice pot (a Christmas gift from my boss-maybe 3 days worth but still . . .) and that drinkable box generic red wine was on sale. And they haven&#039;t cut off my internet access yet, I&#039;m usually 2 months behind with the bill.
If only dodos had worshipped a god who refused to create human beings, they would probably be around today.
&quot;there is no Heaven nor <i>is there</i> Hell&quot; works better, as well, repeating the antecedent verb to create agreement.
And that concludes the most intensive sentence diagramming I&#039;ve done in about 25 years.
Also, too, Big Government handouts and furners interferin&#039; and speculatin&#039; in the free market.

Though, Rush Limbaugh. Atavism, very likely.
President Reagan tried one as a co-star, and it even kind of worked.
It&#039;s in Kentucky, but same difference.
What a shame that Bryan died before he could masturbate to the Answers in Genesis website. Hell no I&#039;m not linking to it.

The whole era, Prohibition, Spanish Flu Pandemic and Great War over just a few years, the beginning of radio, all sorts of weird shit went down.
