Herschel Walker Skeptical Of Evolution: 'Why Are There Still Apes? Think About It'

"Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker cast doubt on the theory of evolution in recent remarks, saying the fact that apes and humans coexist disproves accepted science.

"At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? ... If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it," Herschel said in an appearance at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia on Sunday."

"Walker is currently the front-runner in the GOP contest to challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in November. He's a former NFL star who has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, and he's outspoken about his Christian faith."

"Walker remains the front-runner in the race despite facing domestic violence allegations.

In their divorce proceedings, his ex-wife alleged that he displayed "physically abusive and threatening behavior" during their marriage. In one instance, she said, he pointed a gun at her head and said, "I'm going to blow your ... brains out."

Two other women have also claimed that Walker threatened them."

Apparently he is on track to win the election.  If so, that signals a death knell for what is left of this country.  Why would he not win?  He is black, christian, anti-science, football star, wife beater, trump supporter, and repub.  What's not to like???  Yep--elected for sure.

Yep, the median 'merican IQ now lies somewhere between moron and idiot. Vicious too. There is a local road rage incident occurring almost daily.

I coulda sworn this crap was over when the cdesign propentionists got a biblical slapdown in Kitzmiller v Dover.

Given the covid fiasco, it seems that science can now be endlessly politicized and denied without any sort of political repercussion.  Apparently, in some circles, it even helps their odds of getting elected, or else they wouldn't be beating on their holy book so much.
