inherit the wind

[Lost Angel]

I just found the movie, "inherit the wind" playing on television.

It is amazing that some of the debate points that go on here about creation and evolution are in this old movie.

Not really a discussion topic, but it is worth watching.

That's because the debate on this forum is one that was decided long ago.

Inherit The Wind is a cracking movie, Spencer Tracey giving a great performance:

I saw it on tv when I was a kid in the late 70s or early 80s and had to have it explained to me that back in the old days there was a controversy when Darwin published his book and that the film was a historical drama. As far as the rest of the world is concerned it still is a historical drama, but you'd never know it reading this forum.

Inherit the Wind can take a hike.

Is that the movie where the world's greatest theologian is put on the witness stand and ends up having a faith crisis because he can't answer where Cain got his wife or how all the animals got on the Ark?

Hellywood at its best.

I'd like to see them put me on the witness stand and try that.

It appears from the movie clip that they want to worship intellect and progress over the creator and call his words fables.

No.

I think he dies from it too.

What a joke.

Well the whole thing, if I remember correctly, was a ploy from the Antichrist Lover's Union in the first place.

Let Christians do that and scientists would call for our heads.

Let Christians do what? Make movies?

Get a man employed by the NEA (Nazi Education Association) as a plant to bring the ACLU (Antichrist Lover's Union) to trial.

Did you recently purchase a tin foil hat?

Why are you bastarding the acronym ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) into Antichrist Lover's Union?

Just removing the mask.

I think we would all like to see that.....

 

[AV1611VET]

I think we would all like to see that.....

It was hilarious.

The guy, the world's greatest theologian, had a faith crisis and died because he couldn't explain where Cain got his wife.

(If I remember the show correctly.)

That would be great entertainment.

If anyone wants to read the transcript of the Bryan examination you can find it here.

Darrow's examination starts on page 43

It appears that the movie came pretty close to being accurate on the parts it used.

Notice it's referred to as the "Scope's monkey trial;" yet when a person asks why monkeys are still around, he is treated as if he never heard of evolution?

Didn't scientists at one point claim we came from monkeys?

There are times when you get a peak into a fundamentalist's mind, and you wish you hadn't looked.

That's why we call them PRATT's, Points Refuted a Thousand Times. Each new generation of creationists recycle the failed arguments from the previous generation.
