Nino questions were pro uounded and these were answered shortly afterward by the Scopes de ; fenso attorney. ' - . :f 'Mr. Bryan's questions were precod. t ed :by the following statement:.- V "In accepting the invitation of "the -'ft defense to testify, I did so on conui tlon that I might question the nttor- r neys on the other side in tho same , way.1 ' ... I "When the court reached the con- elusion that, such .testimony was In- J competent and expunged it from the ' j record, I was precluded from asl ing questions which I had preparod. i --"The questions are as follows: ' 1 Mr. Bryanr-Po.you belleyft-Jn the '. existence of God, as described in the . iplble? i "Mr. Darrow I donot know of iny ' is description of God in the Bible. We f are Informed, in the first part of the ' Bible, howeevr, that God is a spirit. ' If Mr, Bryan will describe what ho ' - means by God, I probably could tell : better whether or not I believe in i God- Mr. Bryan said.' In effect, that '- God Is like a man and is fashioned in ' the image of man. I do not believe In -' this kind of a God. As to the origin 'J. of the universe or who or what is . :' back of It, I do not pretend to know. ' V "Mr. Bryan Do you- believe that ' tho Bible is the revealed will of Ood, Inspired and trustworthy? m "Mr.' Darrow I think that there Is much that Is of value in tho Bible. I I jo not believe it was written or Inspired by God. I believe it should j bo taken likeevery otherklnd of, book, ' and that the portions that are sublime i are like such portions of any great book as much inspired as, say, 'In a His .Image.' . ; -"Mr. Bryan. Do you believe In the ' supernatural Christ, foretold In the Old TcBtament and revealed In the '. New Teseament ? "Mr. Darrow I do not believe that i. any supernatural Christ was foretold 4n the Old Testament or revealed In Vl i New Testament. I believe that ! tho Christ prophesied in the Old Tcs v lament was ot great- Jew who should ' deliver his people from their physical bondage and nothing else. "Mr. Bryan Do you Relieve In the W miracles recorded in the Old and New ft Testaments? If you believe in some hut not all of them, please name a ' few of those which you accept and , those you reject with the reasons for "i the same. Do you believe that Christ was conceived of the Holy Ghost " anl born of the virgin Mary, as re 4 corded in Matthew and Luke? Do tf you believe that Christ rose from the t dead as described In the four gospels? "Mr. Darrow I do not believe In i" miracles. I believe the universe acts 1 and has always acted In accordance :: with an immutable law, and that whatever may be back of tho universe has never violated these laws. "Mr. Bryan Do you believe In the ' t Immortality of the soul? ' "Mr. Darrow I have been search ' Ing; for proof of this all- my life, with , the same desire to find it that is Incident to every living thing, and I " i! have never found any evidence on the subjeot. '' . W "Mr. Bryan If you believe In evo lution, at what point in man's desoont r 'from the brute is he endowed wlt.1 f hope and promise of a life beyond the ;. grave? ,v "Mr. Darrow I have no knowledge on the question of when man first be - lreved In life beyond tho grave. I am . ndt at all sure whether many other V animals have not the same hope of a future life that man has. The origin " of this belief may have arisen In vivid J dreams concerning the return of the 1 dead, or, for all I know, from actual ' evidence of the return of the dead, j!
