Ben Carson on Creationism, Evolution, and Intelligent Design
Whether Dr. Ben Carson has adequate experience and background knowledge to be President of the United States is a fair question, but there’s certainly a lot to like about him as a man. He displays an admirable fearlessness in stating his views. That combined with his calm, soft-spoken manner and undoubted intelligence makes him an appealing personality to many voters.
We’re not in the business of expressing preferences for one aspirant to higher office over another, but evaluating candidates’ views on relevant scientific issues comes with the territory of what we do. Dr. Carson’s thoughts on evolution, the history of life and the cosmos, have come under scrutiny. He was on The O’Reilly Factor last night, and gracefully handled questions about his beliefs.
