This wasn't supposed to be a thread on religion. It was supposed to be on Carson. So liberals, it was very good strategy to divert the subject matter.

So, God created Isis and sudden infant death syndrome and all diseases. Great.

However to believe the pyramids of Egypt were grain silos, the Earth is 6,000 years old, and not to believe in evolution is outrageous for a medical doctor.

Really, it is a moot point now. His poll numbers have fallen so steeply there is no chance that he would get the nomination much less the presidency.

I bet you never said anything stupid 30 years ago, right? And I believe that anyone that believe in "evolution is outrageous." Especially, since evolution can not be proven. You might have been convincing in the first part, but when you speak against 80% of the country's population belief, then it is YOU that is "outrageous."

Evolution has been proved! It is not a theory. Evolution is still occuring!

The age of the Earth has been shown to be around 1.4 billion years. Fossils show proof of evolution. This is science!

I don't know what you mean by 80 percent of the country believe. Is it in God? Is it in the Bible? Evolution? Creationism? Humans walked with dinosaurs?

Sorry to hurt your feelings, but evolution has never been proven. It is just a theory that has atheists beating their heads against the wall for decades. There has never been a fossil proving evolution, so why do you make up these tales? The Bible doesn't specify how old Earth is, so I have no idea why you keep pushing that part.
As far as the comment of 80% of the country believing, I would have thought that you would not have difficulty understanding what was meant. But, I will type slow so that you don't miss anything. Approx. 80% of Americans beleive in GOD. Since there would be no point in evolution if they believe in GOD, then it would be presumed that they believe in God's creation of man. And since you can't find any fossils to prove that man evolved from anything other than man, then man had to come from somewhere. Perhaps you believe Earth was seeded by aliens?

I am a Presbyterian, and we don't have any problem at all with evolution. In fact, we think that Genesis 1:1-26 describes evolution rather well.

That's interesting, because your religious doctrine does not include evolution. Plus, you must not believe that the Bible is the word of God because you wouldn't try to make a lie of it. The Bible specifically says that God CREATED the heavens and the earth, and then man and woman. But, if you think you can convince anyone of your lies, go for it. I have heard plenty of lies on here. And your messiah in D.C. also lied about being a Christian. If you want his specific words of proof, I will be glad to do the work for you on Google.

So, once again what does this have to do with Carson? We already established the fact that every president has declared his belief in GOD. So, if you are using that as a disqualifier for your vote, I guess you won't be able to vote, unless the socialist is a closet communist. Speaking of Sanders of course. Hilda the witch is a socialist too, but still claims the Democrat label.

Really? A joke?

Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

Evolution Statement

And here's what Pope Francis had to say about evolution:

Pope Francis' Address at Inauguration of Bronze Bust of Benedict XVI | ZENIT - The World Seen From Rome

This is what Billy Graham thinks:

Rev Graham says the Bible proves creation, not evolution. I am assuming that is what you were inferring when you used that link, right?

Another example of a religious leader explaining Creation.

Obviously, our Presbyterian poster misinterpreted the article. The only evolution that is acknowledged is the evolution of intellect in man. It still states that God created man. Until I read the article, I was going to say that this religion was not a Christian faith but a cult. Thank you for providing that link so that I could see that it was the poster that was in error, not the religion. Therefore, the article was another bit of evidence endorsing divine creation.

How do you explain the fossils of Zinjantropus or Neandthral?
