PSALM 104:4
e had a big snowstorm on the East Coast recently, which meant I got to hunker down and watch the 1960 Hollywood a fictionalized account of the famous 1925 Scopes “Monkey Trial,” where schoolteacher John Scopes was tried in a Tennessee court for violating a state law against teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution. In real life it was legal heavyweight Clarence Darrow, backed by the ACLU, locking horns with William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson’s former secretary of state and three-time Democratic presidential candidate, a devout Christian and one of the great populist speakers of his time.
