I do recall bringing Darwin to school in 1st Grade, and they made a big stink out of it.
So why did my Parents bring a book like this into the house? I mean the were God Fearing Folks from what I knew. It made total since to me, Darwin made total since to me. You could not have it both ways. God Fearing and Darwin, it just did not go together. I chose Darwin. We came from Apes as it were. It made The Planet Of The Apes so much more real to me.
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1969)
Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
It was Battle for the Planet of the Apes which brought home time travel to me. Or rather, it was the final frontier, it lead all the way back to Planet of the Apes. Which was a real trip to me.
Another thing, it was before the 1st Grade I was chucked out of Sunday School for disbelieving how Christ rose up to the heaven. I only wanted an explanation. So while every one else just took it for granted, I was cast out of Sunday School. I mean, go figure!
