9. Drummond makes it clear through his arguments that thinking for oneself is a good thing. Not only that, but he also advocates for it as if he’s running a presidential campaign based on the premise that one should think for themselves. He comes right out and says it on page 71, “I am trying to establish, Your Honor, that Howard or Colonel Brady or Charles Darwin or anyone in this courtroom or you, sir has the right to think!” On the other hand Colonel Brady fights for tradition and faith in God, referring to those believing in evolution as “Evil-usionists.” He is not just a believer and a good Christian, but a true fundamentalist. When questioned by Drummond about the validity of the Bible, Brady coyly brushes him off. He says with such tranquility that God can make anything happen; God created the laws of the universe, so he can use them as he pleases. Brady and Drummond are two very different men working against each other, one fighting for The Holy Bible, the other for innovation and advancement. Though some people in the book fail to recognize it, Drummond is aware that his entire case is defending the right to think.
