It is important to remember that while Darwin obviously broke ground and got a lot of stuff right, he didn't get EVERYTHING right. What are you talking about? It is a fact that Darwin did not take the position that life arose out of nothing. Yes, he thought it was possible. But he also thought divine creation was a possibility. He took the stance that it was an unknown. Science and religion in a person are, IMO, mutually exclusive spheres which allow highly intelligent individuals to have personal religious views without reconciliation. No argument here. But the division doesn't seem to be the case with Carson. He thinks the Big Bang is a fantasy and that evolution is a tool of the Devil. Purely based on his religious views. A person's religion is their own business. But their religious views have no business in a political sphere. The Founders knew it. To base policy, like taxation for example, on religion is a bad, bad thing. I don't have to convince anyone. Outside of evangelicals, few people know much about him. What they do know, is positive. But, as time goes on, more and more people will see that he is an uniformed loon. And that doesn't play well.
