Herschel Walker Skeptical Of Evolution: 'Why Are There Still Apes? Think About It'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker cast doubt on the theory of evolution in recent remarks, saying the fact that apes and humans coexist disproves accepted science.

“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? ... If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Herschel said in an appearance at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia on Sunday.

“Now you’re getting too smart for us, Herschel,” lead pastor Chuck Allen responded.

Walker is currently the front-runner in the GOP contest to challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in November. He’s a former NFL star who has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, and he’s outspoken about his Christian faith.

Because not everyone or thing advances. Look at Republicans for example.

1. Fence-post level stupid.

Come on, UGA, can't you disown him now?

[Grokenstein]

3. Why? He's right at the level of his base.

You could explain his error to them for hours and it would just fly in one ear and out the other without ever touching flesh. Then they would rush right back to him, bobbing their heads up and down at every word.

6. Nobody disowned Reagan when he played footsies with creationists...

They've only gotten bolder since then.

[Lovie777]

2. shithole's people aren't to bright . . .

actually they are downright insane.

[JHB]

4. Another member of the Ben Carson "I'm outstanding in one thing, so I'm an expert in Everything" club

Archeology, paleontology, same thing as neurosurgery or football! Those guys who spent their whole careers studying this shit? Just in it for the cushy jobs!

[Blue Owl]

5. In other words, a few grains short of a full pyramid...

[JHB]

7. More than a few. Lot more.

8. "If this tree branch came from the trunk... why is there still a trunk?"

"And wtf are all these other branches...? "

23. If Adults Evolve From Babies, Why Are There Still Babies? Think About It

9. I was kind of expecting that kind of statement from Trump or

one of his kids.

[Haggard Celine]

10. Gee, you can't argue with logic like that.

[Girard442]

11. Most prominent people who express Creationist sentiments are playing to the rubes.

They're con artists who are too smart to actually believe the bullshit.

[Celerity]

28. In Walker's case he just might be THAT stupid, though

I so hope the Dem Super Pacs blast the airwaves with adverts (before the general if Walker wins the primary) showing Walker talking about wanting to drive a screwdriver into his neighbour's eyesocket and also wanting to shoot himself in the mouth with a shotgun.

The bloke is 'rat in a tin shithouse' level cray.

[Beartracks]

12. What's sad is his statement will look like blindingly obvious, science-y logic to...

... people who don't know, or care, how science actually works -- or, more specifically, what "descended from apes" actually means.

13. Somebody's got to come out with this idiocy every so often

So let's ask Walker, since his ancestry comes from Africa: if there are black Americans, how can there still be people in Africa? Also, since many Americans have ancestors that came from Europe, how can there be Europeans in this modern day?

Even closer: did his parents die because he was born? Does he have siblings? How in the world can that be?

Really, since it's so easy to learn what evolution is and is not, I don't have any patience left for anyone who seems "confused" or otherwise refuses to understand how it works.

Wouldn't it be nice if anti-evolutionists knew how blindingly stupid they sound.

14. the GOP base will eat this up...

[albacore]

15. "Walker is currently the front-runner in the GOP contest to challenge Sen. Warnock (D-Ga.) in Nov."

Who ARE those people? (Rhetorical question.)

[The Unmitigated Gall]

16. Holy fuck.

How do the Nobel Committee, the Royal Society and the American Academy of Sciences NOT know about this guy???

[twodogsbarking]

17. He's dumber than the lumps in cat litter.

[Demovictory9]

27. but smarter than Trump

[LisaL]

18. Dogs came from wolves, but wolves are still there.

Mr. Walker should try to figure that one out.

[Marcuse]

19. And Woman was made from Man's rib. A cheaper cut.

[tanyev]

20. Sounds like he's gotten some philosophy tips from Bill O'Reilly.

[maxsolomon]

21. Pretty standard Creationist dipshittery, no?

Please do not vote for this man, GA.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

22. And NOBODY in that church had the nerve to say "THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!"

Even long before I left religion, I would never have been able to contain myself.

[genxlib]

24. There are two certainties in language

1) If you start a sentence with the phrase “I don’t mean too…” it means you are about to do exactly that thing.

2). If you end a sentence with the phrase “…think about it”. Then you have just said something idiotic.

[Beartracks]

25. Nicely put.

[rockfordfile]

26. That person is a f**king idiot

[Raine]

29. I've often wondered about that myself, lol! nt
