Wow. Ben Carson uttered these silly words around the same time Bill Clinton said, “I did not have sexual relations, with that woman...”
And then Hillary came to her husbands defense and did everything in her power to destroy another victim of her cheating husband.
All people who belong to cults have mental issues. It goes with the territory.
They didn’t have to. The fact that he was Mormon kept plenty of god-fearing voters home on election day.
It may not bear archaeological and historical scrutiny, however I can see that interpretation. Joseph was a real figure who was said to have gathered the grain of Egypt.
Ben says he still believes the pyramids were made for grain storage, demonstrating that he’s nutty and knows nothing about grain storage.
Doctors also file bankruptcy at a fairly high percentage rate. They make a lot of money and have little expertise outside medicine but have huge egos. Many go under when they step into the business world with side ventures.
I wouldn’t play the race card so fast.
ANY candidate first or second in the polls will be taking flak from all sides.
Every photo I see of Trump on all media sources (including Fox) has his mouth open - an easy way to make anyone look bad.
Carson has a propensity to put his foot in his mouth.
Would want your off the cuff remarks you made 17 years ago made the measure of your knowledge or character for a job you are applying for today? Let’s give Ben a break.

Maybe, except for the fact that he reiterated the same thing, very recently. Posted on F.R. within the last few days.
He’s in the same league with Hank Johnson, with this particular theory.
Most troubling is Ben saying Joseph built the pyramids that were built 4500 years ago. So the Pyramids already existed and were ancient when Joseph arrived in Egypt.
Richard Dawkins thinks alien civilizations planted life here on earth.
Ben Carson isn’t stupid.
Ben may be crazy on this, but that doesn't make this anything but a waste of newsprint.
In other news: Fast and fur... Ooh look Rubio has a bottle of water, CLINTON SERV... ooh look a squirrel... Hillary Foundation Corup...ooh shiny Ben Carson pyramids...
Except there are no aliens - not counting the illegal variety.
I don't buy into the Joseph theory either - it certainly doesn't seems to pass the cursory cost/benefit check - but I applaud Ben Carson for at least using the Bible as his reference point. At least he knows the history is accurate. He states that the pyramids were not built by aliens, and they were not tombs for the pharaohs. He states his theory, the rationale, and that it his opinion.
Although I don't agree with his opinion, I appreciate the first principles he follows in his thought process. Namely:
The Bible is accurate and inerrant.
Don't automatically accept the bilge that gets pumped your way (e.g., be it Global Warming 'science'; Pharaohs were buried in the three great pyramids - even though there is no evidence; homosexuality is not a choice; etc).
At the end of the day no one knows about the origin of the Great Pyramids (the Great Pyramids were ancient when Herodotus wrote about them).
True.
I belong to the Blue Oyster Cult :)
You must be pretty good with a guitar then! :-)
“The step pyramid, built by Joseph was used for the storage
of grain.”
Thanks for remarking on that. I saw some information
yesterday that affirmed that pyramids WERE used for the
storage of grain. - I wish I had written it down; but at
the time, I didn’t think it would become the big issue
that some have made it. (A speech by Dr. Carson from
almost 20 yrs. ago.)
“demonstrating that he’s nutty and knows nothing about grain storage.”
As a doctor, does Carson really need to know the details of grain storage? Daniel would have needed to know, and that’s really all that matters.
I’m not a Carson-for-president person, but his grain-storage theory is much more plausible than creatures from outer space.
Off the cuff? It was a prepared speech.
Blue Oyster Cult?! OMG! Please run for President!:)
:) grew up on the drums
too many skeletons :)
i’ll run for president of my house!!
and lose to the cat.
