Ben Carson, pediatric neurosurgeon, saved children’s lives. Here is a typical Darwin follower’s’ response, demanding worship of their idol:

So imagine it’s 1970 or so, and you’re young Ben Carson, sitting in a biology class at Yale University. With your sharp mind and strong study habits, you don’t have much problem understanding the material, grasping the copious evidence underlying the theory of evolution, all the fossils going back millions of years, how it all fits together in an endless process that affects everything from a towering redwood down to a microscopic virus. And yet, the whole thing sounds like an attack on the beliefs about the universe you were taught your whole life from your family and your church. How can you resolve this contradiction?

The resolution came somewhere along the way for Carson: Satan. Evolution is Satan’s doing.

The fact that Carson believes this is a true puzzlement. Because Carson is an undeniably smart man.

A Canadian mother/grandmother (who cannot vote in the United States) responds:

I must testify, unaccustomed to the glaring lights: One of my kids was hit by a car in 1978, and I am glad to say she was tended by a pediatric neurosurgeon, and it turned out well. One of my grandkids needed neurosurgery more recently. From this last weekend, I see she is doing well.

But I want THIS on the record: I do not give a dam what a pediatric neurosurgeon believes about “evolution.”

I do not see why anyone ELSE should care either.

How DARE anyone make that an issue compared to a track record for a specific type of neurosurgery?

What has our society come to that this type of toxic waste affects our understanding?

Note: “Evolution” (= Darwinism, because that is what these vicious operatives of progressive billionaires always really mean when they say “evolution”) forced many African American women into sterilization ops, as Carson must surely know.

Added: While we are here, why does anyone care what any US Prez thinks about evolution?  If it is really a science topic, shouldn’t it be like the Large Hadron Collider or Pluto’s  geography?  If not, what IS it?

The wishy washy politicians on all sides who speak on both sides of their mouths (give both God and Darwinism the same regard) do not deserve a pass either. YECs and OECs and others who disagree with their BS should cease the opportunity to ridicule them. In fact, if I were a republican candidate, I would play the God/creation card to the fullest and I would ridicule the dirt worshippers and the ape-wannabes over and over throughout the entire campaign. And I would hire talented cartoonists to do the job. LOL.Mapou

I am sure that Ben Carson saved some children’s lives. And in his role as a neurosurgeon, I would not care what he thought about evolution. But now he’s running for President of the United States of America; he’s a politician who’s put religion and science into his platform. He willingly exposed himself to criticism and does not deserve a pass because he did good things as a surgeon. “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” sean s.sean samis
