The Scopes Monkey Trial 1925
In 1925, a small mid-western town populated by like small-minded people, a high school teacher was being tried for instructing his students on Darwin's theory of evolution. The towns people wanted to jail him because they felt he was breaking the law, and corrupting the morals of young people by teaching these principles. The defense hires renowned lawyer, agnostic Drummund from Chicago. During Drummund's interrogatiom of bible-totin', scripture spewing, hell-bent evangelist Brady regarding Darwin's theory of evolution, Drummond comments: "The individual human mind. In a child's power to master the multiplication table there is more sanctity than in all your shouted amens and holy holy hosannas. An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral, and the advance of man's knowledge is a greater miracle than all the sticks turned to snakes or the parting of the waters .... The Bible is a good book, but it is not the only book .... How do you know God didn't speak to Charles Darwin?" In 1960 a film was made based on this trail. It was called 'Inherit the Wind'. Here's a clip of this scene in this powerful, and thought-provoking film: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtNdYsoool8"]YouTube- Inherit the Wind scene, creationism vs. evolution[/ame] |

Are you balanced? Do you share your time, your energy,
your life, as much with yourself as you do with those around you?. . . . Know your limits. You are one of the most important people you need to look after and love. Balance your time, your energy, your life with those around you. You'll be able to give more freely and joyfully as a result, and you'll be more open to the gifts of the universe. It's not wrong to give to others. But it's okay to say yes to ourselves, too. Melody Beattie |

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway. * "The Paradoxical Commandments" by Kent M. Keith |
