6040- Quiz answers for June 13th

Ok gang! My apologies for having to do this to you every week hahaha but here are my answers for the quizzes. I have been informed by Dr. Oliver certain pages were assigned to students. I will absolutely follow suit next week! Thank you for your patiences and helping me participate remotely.

SG 1-2
1. “I would not say interpretations, Mr. Darrow, but comments on the lesson.” -p.3
2. The issue that caused Bryan to interpret biblical passages rather than take them literally can be found on page 4. Darrow asks Bryan if he believes the story of Joshua, a passage in the Old Testament where Joshua supposedly made the sun stand still. Bryan tried to defend his belief by asking about the presumption that the bible’s question would mean we are geocentric when science has clearly proven our solar system in heliocentric, “I believe what the Bible days. I suppose you mean that the earth stood still?” Bryan replied, anticipating the standard gibe against biblical literalism under the Copernican cosmology.
3. On page 5 Bryan states, Defense counsel, “did not come here to try this case,” “They came to try revealed religion.”
4. ?
5. ?
6. When asked the purpose of the examination, Darrow responded, “We have the purpose of preventing bigots and ignoramuses from controlling the education of the United States, and that is all.” p. 6
7. ?
8. ?
9. “Bigotry seeks to make opinions and beliefs mandatory.” Bryan on Darrow p. 8
10. Georges Cuvier
11. On page 22, Winterton Curtis recalls, “When, in the second decade of the present century, some of my former students, who had become teachers, began to report the restrictions laid upon them in high schools and in some denominational colleges, I (assumed) an active part in the defense of evolution."
12. The origin of humanity
13. Conservative leader Curtis Lee Laws
14. Kentucky’s Baptist State Board of Missions passes a resolution calling for a state law against teaching evolution in public school, which Bryan adopted
15. John W. Butler
16. Tennessee Academy of Sciences

My questions

Who was Chevalier de Lamarck? p. 14
What was his hypothesis on giraffe’s? p. 14
What was the name of the textbook at issue in the Scopes trial? p. 16

T.M. 1-6
1. African- American
2. “I’m afraid of a moment when, immobilized by something fatal, and unable to distract myself with work or sex or illusions of progress, I reflect on my life and see a rich and fascinating landscape, and mea off to one side of it, a rat inside a wheel of darkness.” p.8
3. Anna Bella Charles Darwin Teixeira Chapman
4. Deciding if ‘it’ should continue or not, ‘it’ being in reference to life.
5. “The Menace of Darwinism” and “The Bible and Its Enemies”
6. What Goes On
7. His brief phase in life where he pursued sainthood and the study of grace. Although he eventually left that life and fell into delinquency, on page 43 he notes, “But if I close my eyes, I can still remember the sensation of purity, the profound reward that a life of such devotion promised: the transcendent relief of waking up each morning knowing that where you are is exactly where you should be, and that what you are doing is unquestionably right.”
8. The imminent return of Christ
9. His laptop
10. Drinking too much is that point of drinking in England according to Chapman

  1. Good, Sarah. No apologies necessary.

    #s 4 & 5 don't exist.

    #7. "Has evolution been proven or is it merely a hypothesis?" Bryan said no, but Chapman points out that his definition of proof is "antiquated."

    8. "why couldn't the alternative theories of evolution be considered a traditional christian doctrine as well? they are both spiritual." (pg 19) I think we were all a bit flummoxed by this one too. For many Christian traditionalists, and probably traditionalists in all mainstream faiths (unless you count Unitarianism maybe?), merely being "spiritual" is just not enough.
