The world’s press was watching and listening in 1925 when, at the famous Scopes Trial
1
in Dayton,Tennessee, William Jennings Bryan (seen as the man representing Christianity) was cross-examinedabout his faith.Part of the dialogue went as follows:Clarence Darrow (the ACLU lawyer): ‘Mr Bryan, could you tell me how old the Earth is?’Bryan: ‘No, sir, I couldn’t.’D: ‘Could you come anywhere near it?’B: ‘I wouldn’t attempt to.

And the eveningand the morning were the second day,” that does not necessarily mean twenty-four-hours?’B: ‘I do not think it necessarily does.’ … ‘I think it would be just as easy for the kind of God webelieve in to make the Earth in six days as in six years or in six million years or in 600 million years.
