Ben Carson, A guide on how to be smart and dumb as fuck at the same time.

[Malachi256]

you could tell him you don't understand how science works or what evidence is.

And how many philosophy of science courses have you taken? Because it's a pretty complex subject.

[Felya]

Rukh, you can talk for me all you like in a passive aggressive manor but it wont work. This is a clear case of Uncle Tom syndrome, you don't like the black man because hes a danger to your political ideology, so he is a baboon, to you. But you and your kind have set the social rules in the states. You are free to say hes a baboon but you are not free from being called out on your racism.

He was called a baboon because we evolved from monkeys and he is a creationist. There is irony in calling people who don't believe in evolution apes. It's why you need to call him an Uncle Tom, to make that comment racist. You are projecting...

[Malachi256]

You what?
I'm not the one making any claims, i'm only claiming no proof of creatonism exists.

You said "if no proof exists for a certain belief, is perfectly acceptable if its as ridiculous as creationism." So I'm waiting for your proof for the alternate claims.

[Felya]

And how many philosophy of science courses have you taken? Because it's a pretty complex subject.

How many theology courses have you taken? Because that's where the study of creationism resides... Not philosophy of science... Theology...

This. But creationists just don't get it....

Before he does that, do you believe in creationism?

[Malachi256]

What's wrong with "I don't know"?

"I don't know" is great. I'm honestly a big fan of the statement, as are many other smart guys throughout history. But it hardly justifies calling someone with an alternate belief an idiot baboon.

I am a YEC. An idiot baboon if you will.

[Felya]

They are not even creationist. They are republican...

[cabreil]

They are not even creationist. They are republican..., one in the same.

[JohnBrown1917]

Healy when the tea party objects to obamas Marxism its muh racism

Is Hilary also going to be called a marxist once the elections get close?

[Felya]

"I don't know" is great. I'm honestly a big fan of the statement, as are many other smart guys throughout history. But it hardly justifies calling someone with an alternate belief an idiot baboon.

It does justify it, because the mere concept that you are making religion out of science is wrong. Google George Lamatre for how an intelligent person deals with creationism of faith and contradictory science.

I am a YEC. An idiot baboon if you will.

Does that inhibit you from believing a scientific view, while maintaining your faith?

That explains everything, you remind me of some guy that always posted in the religious subforum of a forum I visit. Acteally, I think he is still posting in it.


Was a funny guy.

[Laerrus]

Bush's and Fiorina's campaigns are pretty much over, due to incompetence or being caught in lies.

Carson is certainly a hard one to crack, he doesn't back down from anything he says. Liberal journalists are going to have one heck of a time trying to bring him down.

As part of the coveted Independent voter base, I have not made up my mind on who I will vote for. I can tell you that it won't be Clinton, I don't trust that she can put the country's needs above her own self interests.

[Independent voter]

Interesting point came up in the debates. Carson is on the board of Costco, the big warehouse store chain. Costco has a pro-gay policy when it comes to work regulations. I think Carson is anti-gay marriage, he said something about he's not anti-gay but I really didn't understand what he said.

[Kujako]

Does that inhibit you from believing a scientific view, while maintaining your faith?

It does because he believes the earth is only a few thousand years old. So he ignores evidence that conflicts with what he believes, and thus can not be scientific.

[JohnBrown1917]

You said "if no proof exists for a certain belief, is perfectly acceptable if its as ridiculous as creationism." So I'm waiting for your proof for the alternate claims.

I never claimed any of these where true either.
Although we do have plenty of evidence for evolution.

[Malachi256]

I never claimed any of these where true either.

So what do you believe, and why?

[JohnBrown1917]

So what do you believe, and why?

I have no beliefs.
I trust the scientists on this.

[Malachi256]

I have no beliefs.
I trust the scientists on this.

Which scientists?
