Quotes:

Clarence Darrow: The most religious people, the most righteous believers of all, are of course, the Fundamentalists, who believe that every word in the Bible is literally true, and don't want the schools or anyone else teaching anything different. Noah got two of every species of animal on the ark, including a million insects.
[Here he stops to scratch himself innocently]
Clarence Darrow: Joshua made the sun stand still so the day could be lengthened and he could finish the battle. Balaam's ass spoke to him, probably in Hebrew. Many asses have spoken, and doubtless some in Hebrew, but they have not been that breed of ass.
