Dr. Carson on Evolution: ‘No One Has Ever Demonstrated One Species Changing to Another Species’
cnsnews ^

Posted on 11/05/2015 7:28:52 PM PST by springwater13

He continued, “Darwin said his whole theory depended on the fossil remains. He said we should be able to line up from a single-cell organism to man, several miles long and just walk right down the fossil trail and see how everything evolved.”

“He [Darwin] said the only reason they didn’t have the fossils was because they were not geologically sophisticated enough, but that we would be in 50 to 100 years,” said Dr. Carson. Well, that was 150 years ago. We still haven’t found them. Where are they? Where are the fossil remains?”

Carson continued, “When you ask the evolutionists about that, they say, ‘Uh, I don’t know where they are, they’re somewhere, they are, we just haven’t found them yet.’ That’s a pretty lame excuse, to be honest with you.”

Earlier in his remarks, Dr. Carson said, “Many people don’t know this but Charles Darwin actually started out in the seminary to become a man of the cloth. He had some experiences with God that didn’t go his way, like his 10-year-old daughter who died of pneumonia despite his pleas.”

Well then Carson will be in good company. Remember who else was crucified? Carson isn’t Jesus but he’s speaking the same truth that Christ did. God created. I don’t know about anybody else but I’ll take my chances with what Christ believed over Darwin or Stephen Hawkins, Bill Nye or the global warming crowd any day. The media will never believe and they will be damned for it. Join them if you want. God’s truth will always be ridiculed by the ungodly and the world system that wants you to believe this life is all there it. It will get worse going forward. Israel is a nation again. A world government is coming. Israel will nearly be wiped out as they will be deceived into believing the coming world dictator is a “man of piece”. It’s all been predicted in the Bible. Christ is coming again. And when he returns he is going to deal with those who rejected his truth. Believe what you want but there’s a price to pay for being wrong.

Cruz better be ready to address his faith.

The same way Obama was made to address the Black Liberation Theology preached in the church of Rev. Jeremiah Wright?

Carson is correct.

"That isn’t evolution. Obama has always been a jackass!"

There's nothing worse than a jackass with a pen and a phone.

There is no fossil evidence of a transitional species.

Yeah, there is -- aplenty. Microfossil records for the Cenozoic show sudden mutations of extant forms into new forms under the influence of greatly-increased cosmic radiation during periods when the Van Allen Belts collapse during an earth-magnetic reversal. We are coming up on one in a few hundred years, by the way ..... get your lead-lined burnooses while they're cheap.

But let's say Carson is wrong about evolution factually, as an article of faith. Similar complaints can (and will) be levelled by atheists against Catholic belief in Transubstantiation, which is a core mystic belief of the Catholic Church. See where I'm going?

Atheists and materialists don't get to hold school and grade theists and Christians. They just don't. Not in our society.

We just had a confrontation like that in Houston, where a gay mayor rammed through an ordinance that could have jailed or fined "non-reconciling" ministers preaching 140-proof Leviticus. (They were beaten like a drum by the People on Tuesday, by referendum.) So here they come again, along a different vector, for Dr. Carson.

I believe Carson is a nice guy, Really. Probably very interesting to talk with. But do we really need a president who spends 8 years talking about things that belong at college professor's cocktail party? Grain in pyramids, fossils that turned lizards into men, or whatever?

Probably; I think Trump/Carson would be a ticket by two men who actually accomplished extraordinary goals in their lives instead of studying and practicing politics.

And an egg turns into a chicken. That is not a transitional species.

I would have chosen the other end of the horse, or put in Lurch instead, but ok.

But the Earth is 4.5 Billion. And the universe is 13.7 billion.

But no one has ever demonstrated the Earth aging for 4.5 billion years. You have to see it happen, or it doesn't count.

-— It’s hard to find actual transitional forms between species. ——

There are no transitional forms in species...

There are lots of examples of micro evolution, where there a minor changes in a species like the shape of its beak, feather color, average size due to environmental and behavior changes over a relative short time...

The dems and the media should be careful about trying to demonize such a prominent denomination.

LOL!

You think they care about any religion other than Islam or Global Warming?

This must be the latest lie for the Darwinists. How many millions of transitional fossils would there have to be from snail to horse and there are none. I imagine your claim is just as false.

Adaptations are not changing species. Show us a dog/horse and then we will become believers.

I was an atheist and found I just don’t have the faith to believe in that nonsense.

I’m a Christian, not a follower of Hawkins or Dawkins. I was merely making a statement about how the media will focus on Carson’s words until they’ve ruined him. Just check out Yahoo news right now, several Carson stories right now trying to make him look like a kook.
