A persistent meme among the media is that Ben Carson is a scientifically ignorant guy who thinks the earth was created six thousand years ago. Not so fast. The Christian Post is reporting on comments Carson made specifically addressing that issue. Stoyan Zaimov writes:
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson clarified that he believes that God created the world but does not believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old, as young Earth creationists claim. Carson also criticized those who claim there is no way the Earth can be billions of years old, saying that such people put themselves “in the same category as God.”I certainly believe that God is our Creator. And interestingly enough, if you look at our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, it talks about certain inalienable rights given to us by our Creator,” Carson told Fox News host Bill O'Reilly in an interview.
He still doesn't like evolution.
