32 Under Darrow's quiet questioning he acknowledged believing the Bible literally, and the crowd punctuated his defiant replies with fervent “Amens." 33 Darrow read from Genesis: “And the evening and the morning were the first day." Then he asked Bryan if he believed that the sun was created on the fourth day. Bryan said that he did. 34 “How could there have been a morning and evening without any sun?" Darrow enquired. 35 Bryan mopped his bald dome in silence. There were sniggers from the crowd, even among the faithful. Darrow twirled his spectacles as he pursued the questioning. He asked if Bryan believed literally in the story of Eve. Bryan answered in the affirmative. 36 “And you believe that God punished the serpent by condemning snakes for ever after to crawl upon their bellies?" 37 "I believe that." 38 "Well, have you any idea how the snake went before that time?" 39 The crowd laughed, and Bryan turned livid. His voice rose and the fan in his hand shook in anger.
