...legal aspects of this introduction of testimony were swiftly forgotten. "General" Ben G. McKenzie, rustic wit of the prosecution counsel, offered his view of Evolution: ". . . they [Evolutionists] want to put words in God's mouth and have Him to say that He issued some sort of protoplasm, or soft dishrag, and put it in the ocean and said: 'Old boy, if you wait about 6,000 years I will make something...
