Inherit the Wind

For years the Bible was esteemed as the source of knowledge of where we come from. It was where we would find the truth behind the past of human kind and the knowledge of the existence of the other creatures that surround us. In Genesis it talks about the creation of Earth and all the things upon it from the mountains, to the ocean, and of course humans. But what if there was more to it? A theory that the yellow pages of the Bible could neither proof guilty or innocent? The theory of evolution. A theory that connects us directly to animals of which the Bible says we are above and higher in the ranks. Why can’t anyone have a say in what they believe either holly, scientific, or any other form of faith? Why can’t a teacher teach his students what he believes?
Who wrote the Bible? Who took the time to sit and record all these teachings? It is unknown and yet we still have faith in the Bible. Faith comes to us naturally and it is up to each and every human being, being the free thinkers we are, to choose what we put our faith to. B.T Cates has chosen both science and God. Like attorney Henry Drummond stated: “ Suppose that a lesser human being, Suppose that a Cates or a Darwin, had the audacity to think, that God might whisper to him; that an unBrady thought might still be holly. Must the man go to prison because he differs with the self appointed profit?” Why should everyone think the same?
If everyone did think the same, Gods point of creating diversity in the world would be shattered by his own creation. God wants man to think for himself, he wants each of us to think differently. He himself wanted us to be separated from one another not only in our thoughts but in our languages: “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. … 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”
Interpretation is also a big part of what the Bible is. It was created for each and everyone of us to get the inner meaning that we wanted from the Bible. Sure there are global interpretations that we all share but each and everyone one of us should also have the freedom to interpret it however we want. God gave us brains and he didn’t give it to a sponge but e what if that sponge wanted to think? Brady said that God would make the sponge think if he wanted to. Then B.T Cates only wants to be like the sponge he wants to think, he wants to be able to make his own conclusions, and teach whatever he wants with no one reprimanding him.
