What parenthetical documentation looks like in your paper: Because so many of Darrow s witnesses testimonies were inadmissible in court, he called Bryan to the witness stand as an expert on the Bible; what followed was the most amazing court scene on Anglo-Saxon history (De Camp 45). Bryan began his testimony in calm and collected manner as he defended the literal meaning of the Bible as pertaining to Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and the snake in the Book of Genesis. Although Darrow made his questions regarding the Bible difficult, Bryan was able to support his beliefs until Darrow asked Ms. Salona Page 9 of 10 Research Paper, 2011

10 about a whale swallowing Jonah and Joshua making the sun stand still. A frustrated and humiliated Bryan finally contended that everything in the Bible should not be taken literally and began to accuse of Darrow of atheism (Linder 2). Darrow ended this famous confrontation by saying, I object to your statement, and to your fool ideas that no intelligent Christian on earth believes (qtd. in Linder 5). Judge Raulston ruled that this evidence be stricken from evidence; however, the spectators high opinions of Bryan were tarnished forever (De Camp 53). The following day the trial was over.
