Answer :

It was July 20, 1925, and William Jennings Bryan, the famous political statesman, had taken the witness stand, to be examined by Clarence Darrow, one of America's most famous trial lawyers.

William Jennings Bryan, an evangelical Christian, accepted the challenge to defend the law, while Darrow, an avowed atheist, was determined to overturn it. However, when Bryan agreed to be examined by Darrow in order to warn against the cancer of Darrow's evolutionary philosophy, the events that followed would rock the nation. Darrow, an unrepentant sceptic, peppered Bryan with Bible-related questions. In the end, Bryan was able to successfully defend the law, but Darrow won the cultural sentiment, causing anti-Christian ridicule to spread across the country demonstrating the Bible's wisdom over and against modern science's false "wisdom".
