| | : Certainly, I have a source, which I gave in an attempt to fix the errors on the page (the repair was removed, as lies that make one feel good appear to be more valuable than the truth on this "encyclopedia".) I recommend the book "The Great Monkey Trial," by L. Sprague de Camp, which quotes heavily from the trial transcript. William Jennings Bryan's testimony was not over, and the judge ruled against further testimony by lawyers in the case. Darrow did not refuse to testify--that's arrant nonsense, and so blatantly so as to make this page look like wish fulfillment. I see, however, that the dedication to falsehood on this page is insurmountable. Even Wikipedia is better than this!

| | + | ::Larson, who was no friend of Creationism but tries to keep an even hand, only mentions the judge barred further examination of Bryan, and he too quotes transcripts. You better have extremely specific trial quotes that showed information that he missed. You also may not be aware of the newspaper wars that Bryan and Darrow were having from well before the trial. Darrow would taunt Bryan with a problem from a literal Biblical view and ask Bryan to answer it. Bryan would say he would, as long as he could then ask a question of Darrow. Darrow never responded. Darrow was much better at being the prosecutor than wanting to be on the hot seat himself. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 16:50, 5 June 2007 (EDT) |
| | I removed it again, without realizing there had been a previous discussion. While I certainly loathe Gore, the addition just doesn't belong here. If the boss wants to override me, fine, but other than that, the content simply belongs in a different article.
