Ben Carson calls evolution a "myth"

It's painfully obvious, Carson is kissing up to the fundies.
Nothing more, nothing less.

If he cannot grasp the fundamental truth of evolution, his brain isn't working.

You are a devotee of the Church of Last Thursday, then? Their rock bottom belief is that everything was created last Thursday. Your memories of growing up, going to school, falling in love, getting beaten up, being disappointed on your birthday, fucking someone, narrowly missing that car accident? All cleverly-implanted memories dreamed up by a devious Creator just to fool the gullible. Nothing actually happened before last Thursday because nothing existed!

Prove me wrong, Dr. Carson.

Carson laughs all the way to the bank selling dumb to the stupid by using arguments from authority. I'm a doctor so you can't question me. It works on the dumb and he's banking money and is famous. If you want to wake up stinky there is no amount of poo that doesn't sell in GOP land.
