Who Is the Ignoramus?

Evolution is not a theory, but a hypothesis....Today there is not
a scientist in all the world who can trace one single species to any
other, and yet they call us ignoranmuses and bigots because we do not
throw away our Bible and accept it as proved that out of two or three
million species not a one is traceable to another. And they say evolution 
is a fact when they cannot prove that one species came from another, and 
if there is such a thing, all species must have come, commencing as they
say, commencing in that one lonely cell down there in the bottom of the
ocean that just evolved and evolved until it got to be a man. And they
cannot find a single species that came from another, and yet they demand
that we allow them to teach this stuff to our children, that they may
come home with their imaginary tree and scoff at their mother's and
father's Bible. -William Jennings Bryan, July 16, 1925
