If It Works For Brady, It Doesnt Work For Me

The Scopes Trial claimed that B.T Cates, a public school teacher was arrested for teaching Darwin.

In the small town were this teacher lived, was extremely faithful in God. According to Darwin, we came from the Homo sapiens, or as many others thought, monkeys. According to The Bible in the Genesis " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth". (Gen.1:26)

In this case, Darwin shows that man is not superior or the image of God, it is just an animal, an ordinary living thing. It is an extreme offense to humans, and Mr. Cates is spreading it to young students. But how are we supposed to know the truth? According to our presidential candidate, Matthew Brady, the Bible is everything. We all need faith in it, in the church and in God. Even so, who says Brady is God's messenger? Who says Brady has the power to choose whether to teach Darwin or not? Does God whisper his ideas to Brady? Through his campaigns, many posters would say
"Brady is the Man of God". Who chose him anyway?

I am defending the Mr. Cates, since he didn't commit any serious crime. It is true he was teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Even so, if he can’t teach Darwin, couldn't he teach Copernicus too?

How can’t we believe Darwin and we can believe the Bible? If supposedly what the Bible says is the soul truth, then we will all be able to live thousands of years, and most of the human race should not exist. "And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.(Gen5:31:32)It is impossible that a man of 500 years old may have three more child, and much more".

The Bible doesn’t have any meaning in time. Where does it say that a day was of twenty-four hours? If these Bible saints lived thousands of years, then each day may last one hour. Ironically, time was invented by Arabs, not God. God doesn’t even have notion of time. We just know that we have seven days. "And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made". (Gen.2:3). Instead, Darwin does have proof of his theory. Fossils of past humans have been found in Africa, such as the earliest man, Lucy (actually female).

The Bible shows many miracles, such as the flood in Noah's Arch (which was really a curse).

It is actually impossible that a great flood had occurred on earth, and that one single man, could get a pair of living things that crept on earth, and fit them all in an arch for forty-days, and forty nights.
"Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female". (Gen6.14-19) No man can ever take care of thousands of animals. By the way, they are animals, and they live by their instinct. A hungry lion easily has its prey on board, with no escape at all.

With no evolution, no one would have been able to write the Bible. We just didn’t pop up and appear from nowhere. "And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch". (Gen4.17). Where did this wife come from? According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were the only human beings on earth. They had only two sons at the beginning, Cain and Abel. Suddenly, Cain's wife appears. Where did she come from? If there had been more people, the Bible should have said so. At least it could say that she was Adam and Eve's daughter, but she just appeared from nowhere.

Another important point where the Bible is defective is in reproduction. Supposedly it is a sin, but how are we supposed to procreate? Even God said: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it..." (Gen1:28). It is contradicted by itself.

Instead, what really separates us from monkeys and animals is our thumb which eventually led to our capability of our advance. Our human mind made us do all this.
We have invented cars, radios, phones. If none of this has been mentioned in the Bible, will this be an act of the Devil? Where does it say that we can’t evolve? If we’ve been extremely faithful to the Bible, we would continue living in tents with no electricity at all.

Darwin’s theories never affected anyone. It was not an act of the devil, or a sinful act. The students never experienced any damage, just knowledge. Separating religion with school may be a great way to continue progressing. Anything that the church will find disapproving may be a great source of learning. Who says that the church can do what they want. It doesn’t say specifically that teachers should not teach Darwin’s theory since Darwin is the devil. In a way, we should abandon our faith in order to progress. We have advanced in such a fast way, that Bible teachings are now being left behind. It is not being against God, but we can’t base our studies in stories. The Bible is a book, but it is not our history.
