Horns, Spiked Tail, Red Smoking Carson

  Look at the set of jaw dropping things that need to be checked in order to get square with the GOP. Here Ben Carson goes on about evolution - short story, it's the work of the devil.

MSNBC: Ben Carson argued evolution was ‘encouraged by’ Satan
The retired right-wing neurosurgeon...called the science surrounding the big bang “ridiculous,” and added in reference to evolution, “I personally believe that this theory that Darwin came up with was something that was encouraged by the adversary.”

In context, “the adversary” appears to refer to Satan.

I'm starting to think the media got it all wrong about Carson's resume. He wasn't a neurosurgeon, it was he had failed neurosurgery once.

How can someone with such a propensity for such intricately detailed and nuanced information and an ability to perform miraculous work as a result, be so stupid?

RE: dcotors & evolution – there was a story about one of the doctors who tried using baboon hearts in humans. He was asked why he used baboons instead of chimpanzees. He didn’t believe in evolution and was unaware that chimps were biologically closer to us.

You'd have to wonder how many more decisions along these same important lines have been affected by a fundamentalist belief.
