| 0:00.0 | Well, now, I'm intrigued by your comment in the article, Josh, that it was almost a historical accident that evolution and modernism became bundled together and fundamentalism with anti-evolution. |
| 0:22.4 | Can you unpack that further? |
| 0:24.8 | Yeah, so the reason why, and it makes sense when you look at the history of how it happened, |
| 0:27.8 | but it didn't have to happen that way. |
| 0:29.3 | And I think the key individuals I point to is B.B. Warfield and also James Orr. |

| 1:19.0 | James Orr is a famous Scottish theologian who wrote, I think, more of the fundamentalist essays than anyone else. |
| 1:29.0 | And so there's the fundamentals. |
| 1:30.8 | They started out as pamphlets. |
| 1:32.7 | There's around, I think, around 80 of these essays that are published eventually in 1915 |
