Carson and Trump, Rising and Falling, 20% and 21%
-
Many scientific theories cannot be proven but are accepted as fact due to a mountain of evidence supporting it. Said mountain of evidence exists against the "the world is 6000 years old" argument. I understand where woody is coming from (I think..) and I could see where it would bother him. Don't let a scientific mind tunnel vision you woody. There is more to leading than that.

Refuting evidence on man-made global warming may be hazardous to future generations, though. Unfortunately most of the GOP field refutes that. I get we have bigger problems than that, but still shouldn't be ignored.
I don't like when somebody uses quasi science to justify their religious beliefs, though (a la, Carson).
I think Fiorina is way more dangerous than Carson, however. Rebuilt the sixth fleet (that's stronger than ever ATM), poland missile defense system.
Repeatedly defending her account of the PP videos and what they're doing - after what she said was determined to be wrong by a bajillion sources.
I don't really know how I feel about Carson as POTUS yet, but Fiorina I don't want any part of.

I understand. But emotionally, there's a mountain of evidence to me,
that it is impossible for me to have lived to see the sixth grade,
without the grace of God. Certainly, in the great universal scheme of things,
it makes no sense to someone else, because they didn't experience
what I experienced.
would it be preferable, if Dr. Carson was an atheist, and explained his brilliant successes
and everything he experienced, on simple science and his "godlike" abilities in being a world-renowned
great surgeon?
The Bible is an incredibly brilliant and complex work... and was not written in English, ya know.
And the divinely inspired writers wrote in the original books in Hebrew and Greek.
And, personally, I allow for them to have had limited scientific understanding in explaining
what they were trying to explain in said languages.
Just a reasonable article on the subject:

Well at least that guy doesn't refute the earth is billions of years old.
There is no evidence a creation event happened 6000 years ago though, human fossils have been dated back to 150k years (carbon dating is wrong, fabricated evidence, etc.).

Dang, good job, you preempted my usual knee jerk comeback on that one.

So you're using "emotional evidence" while you rail against any viewpoint you disagree with as being an "emotional knee jerk"...
Believe what you want, as long as it doesn't affect me. If we had a president that ignores mountains of scientific evidence to support his religious believes, then it us very easy to see how that could affect me. "The bible says the end times are coming, so I'll go to war." "Science is wrong about the age of the earth, si it must be about climate change too." Etc.
I don't want any part if that as president.
-
Again - everybody has emotions. But liberals look at issues
TOTALLY based on emotion. That's how they elected the most corrupt,
unConstitutional, lying somebeech racist asswipe president in our country's history.
And my experiences are FACT. My emotional responses to them are just mine.
Were it not true, they would have, in the least, voted against Obamao the second time,
based on his performance and lies and scandals the first four years.
And making up statements that a Christian pres has never made is another example.
And that is fear-mongering - a label you libs slap on anybody who is concerned about
even very legitimate situations with this current corrupt buttock and moochelle Obamao regime.
And, why should I let an atheist affect me with THEIR decisions? Fearmonger that.
-
It depends on how the atheist is making those decisions.
-
ah, so it's okay for the rest of us to suffer unGodly decisions,
as long as you don't have to suffer Godly decisions.
that's the democratic caesar's pecker way of doing things...
-
No, you aren't following along.
I don't care whether the person making the decisions is Christian, Muslim, Atheist, etc. What is important is HOW they make their decision. I want a leader that gathers evidence and sources, looks through relevant data on the subject, and then takes a problem solving approach, with all of the facts considered, to make a decision. What I don't want is a leader actively ignoring sources of information that conflict with his personal beliefs. A leader that chooses to be ignorant to seem right.
The most prevalent example of that recently has been Carson and his creationist views. That is not the only situation where this concern is appropriate though. Get it?
-
What difference does it make if he's a creationist? Did this become a political issue I'm not aware of? Who gives a fuck how of why the world exists? It has nothing to do with the day to day of politics
-
I've already explained. It us the willful ignorance. He's purposely ignoring facts he disagrees with to prop up his personal beliefs. I wouldn't want that in a president.
-
I've decided. 1000 percent voting for Carson if he is the nominee. God bless.
-
woody has that affect on people.
-
I will probably stay home this election. Once again, I am presented with a bunch of shitty options that I want no part of. I am a fiscally conservative, socially liberal atheist so I have no one to vote for.

Its a completely irrelevant matter. Not once in 250 years has the president been called on to explain why the world exists or how. The guy is a fucking neurosurgeon. I'm sure he understands science whether or not he believes in god or how the earth came to be. God is as good an explanation as the big bang which has plenty of holes on its own.

You're getting too caught up on his beliefs. I'm concerned with how he got to his beliefs.
He doesn't just believe in divine intervention instead of the big bang or whatever. He beliefs in a 6,000 year old earth poofed into existence as we know it today.
To hold a belief like that, and to continue to stand by it, you have to be either ignorant or willfully ignorant. If he was just ignorant it may be a lack of education, which isn't his fault. But that's not the case, he's very educated. He just chooses to through that away to protect his personal beliefs.
Why would I want a president that ignores facts and evidence if those things happen to disagree with him? This doesn't even have to be religious. Just the willful ignorance in general.
