Well, I have no intention to vote for Trump or Dr Ben Carson, but instead of Surgeon General I think Dr Ben Carson would be
perfect as Secretary off Health and Human Services. Besides he would be over the Surgeon General. Check it out

“There are two kinds of people in this world. There are creationists. And there are those who ignore creation.”

I think you’re right, but I do occasionally think of another possibility that could help to explain the lunacy of todays politics and failing state of our country. There are creationists. And there are those who descended from monkeys and we call them libs. ;>)

As for Carson....I don’t give one whit about his choice of religion, but I will NOT vote for him under any circumstances.

Evolution is not supported by the evidence. Neither is a six-day creation. The correct answer is that we don't know.

Not knowing is great, because it represents an opportunity for research, in which ignorance IS bliss, the precursor to discovery.

Or believe they are. Who am I to judge them if they think their ancestors were apes?

I'm sure that all "authentic" Black chrstians are belching fire at the very thought. After all, as everyone knows, no Black person has ever interpreted the Bible "literally" in the history of the world.[/sarcasm]

Meanwhile, maybe someone will explain that belief in virgin births and real presences and resurrections from the dead are never held against a politician, but rather only the Six Days of Creation. Apparently atheists have no problems with a magical universe in which miracles constantly happen so long as that universe formed purely "naturally."

He does not follow young earth 6k years old. He doesn’t subscribe to evolution or theistic evolution.

‘Cuz the MSM will really start hammering him. And he can’t claim racism because he’s a Republican.

Actually, it would make more sense to ask leftist candidates whether they believe in evolution. Despite all purporting to do so, essentially “because science”, the left really doesn’t actually believe in the account of human origins provided by the neo-Darwinian synthesis: they are all Rousseauians, rather than Darwinians. To the left, Man is neither the pinnacle of creation who joins the material and the spiritual, nor a great ape who speaks, but a blank slate on which is written whatever society writes, and who thus can be remade and perfected by remaking and perfecting society. Leftist all fancy that their program will produce the “New Soviet Man” (even if they don’t call their hypothetical goal that anymore).

If the left really believed in the Darwinian account of human origins, they would not insist that differences in social outcomes between human populations whose ancestors faced radically different selection pressures for perhaps 99,700 out of the last 100,000 years are all the result of racism. If left really believed in Darwinism, they would not spend so much effort promoting the Darwinian dead ends of homosexuality and transgenderism. The notion of a fixed human nature, whether arrived at by direct Divine Creation and the Fall, or by biological evolution, is anathema to the left because they want to remake Man in the image of their fantasies, and a fixed human nature does not allow them to do that.

Creationism is wedge issue, a major turnoff for most voters. He definitely should back off that position if indeed he holds it.

Well we are electing a Commander in Chief and not a Scientist in Chief. My reasons for believing Carson is not suited for the presidency has nothing to do with his religious beliefs and everything to do with his policies. Or lack thereof.

IOW, the media posse championed him against Trump -- continues to claim that Trump is a distant second in Iowa, which doesn't hold a real vote until sometime next year -- and then undermines him. His religious views aren't important to me, so long as he's not an atheist or a muzzie. However:

If you have something to say, there’s plenty of room right here on this thread.

I use FR Mail for constructive personal communication.

I do not use it to trade insults.
