Dr. Ben Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon, a member of the distinguished National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, and the author of six best selling books, said that it takes faith to believe in God and to believe in evolution because both are “religion,” and he stressed that it requires “a lot more faith to believe in evolution.”
“I think it’s quite evident from what you’ve seen tonight, it takes faith to believe in God, it takes faith to believe in evolution,” said Dr. Carson during a speech at the Celebration of Creation conference, as reported by the Adventist News Network.
“I think it takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution than it does to believe in God,” he said.   I sure wouldn't have wanted this man to take care of my  children.  :1rij: :32: And I sure wouldn't want him to be President either. The Republican candidates scare the crap out of me with their ignorance, no matter how educated they are, they are idiots.

No, it takes less faith because there's actual evidence for evolution.

Carson is going nowhere. He gets the momentary boost in the polls, but that's it. Both HRC AND Bernie would shread him in a general election and the GOP knows that.

That's a thing now?  I think they misspelled church service as conference.

This latest foray into pseudoscience - apparently by a distinguished scientist - is nothing new.  But damn, this embarrassment wants to be prez?  Maybe prez of ISIS (who are equally pro-creationism and against evolution), but president of a country that despite a relatively high population of creationists (aka morons) has handed creationists political defeat after defeat?  Even the trojan horse of Intelligent Design got soundly defeated.  The Republicans aren't just backing the wrong horse on this issue.  They're backing a long dead one.

I would rather have Trump as president than Carson... I'm completely serious. Anyone who doesn't believe in evolution, suggests we need to "tithe" to the government and who thinks everyone would be safer if we were all walking around armed is not who I want for president. His plans to dissolve my marriage because it "disrespects God" and leads to polygamy don't endear me to him either. He's really clear that government should be run in accordance with Christian values and biblical teachings.

The only thing I want from my doctor that's intelligently designed is any prescription she might give me.

Carson is proof that you can be intelligent enough for an advanced degree, and still be pig-ignorant.

  This argument  trying to make evolution a religion is nothing more than an attempt to stop it from being taught in schools. Hovind is a blatant proponent of this.

  Argument from petulance.

"Your argument is no better than mine!" And this is supposed to make your side look better?

USA #1, USA #1 ... yes, Brits etc ... America is better ;-)

Polygamy is biblical, as is slavery.  Jesus was un-Biblical by not getting married and making more Jewish fighters, and by not keeping Gentile slaves.  Can any religion be saved by the ignorance of its followers?

Remember last time we had a "flavor of the month" being the temporary opposition to Romney?

This time it is Trump, and Carson is the current flavor.  He'll fade.
