Who would have thought that a neurosurgeon could also be a moron? [View all]


Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson engaged in another round of climate change denial while also veering off into remarks about evolution and gravity during a Sept. 30 appearance at the University of New Hampshire, the New Republic reported.

“The way the earth rotates on its axis, how far away it is from the sun. These are all very complex things,” Carson said in response to a question from the audience. “Gravity, where did it come from? I mean, there are so many things. So I don’t denigrate the people who say ‘Eh, eh, whatever, somehow it happened.’ I don’t denigrate them. I just don’t have that much faith.”

So he doesn't have enough "faith" to accept a scientifically-explainable universal phenomenon but he has enough to accept that the ludicrous stories in the Wholey Babble are not only possible but true?

And the ignorant right-wingers have now put him into the lead of the Republican presidential race?
