you're right.  His religious beliefs aren't what makes him a world renown neurosurgeon.  It's his understanding of the physical sciences and specifically biology and organic chemistry of one of the most complex systems know to man.  

 

for you to then take that man's religious beliefs and try and discredit his knowledge base is the baseline definition of asinine and the walking death of anything that used to resemble your credibility.  

 

I am not a seventh day adventis, but just like any religious beliefs i respect his.  But if you are silly enough to think that you could win an argument with Ben Carson about the half life of radioactive isotopes you're a lot more of a lost cause than i thought you were. 

 

Sorry you got offended I called him out as a science denier for thinking the earth is less then 10,000 years old. I am fully aware that Carson is likely the smartest guy on that stage and in his field but to attempt to equate his general intelligence or grasp of all sciences due to his proficiency is neurosurgery and medicine in general is absurd no matter how much you want it to be the case. If it did, then regardless of his religion he would not think the earth is less then 10,000 years old. The fact that you can so easily brush it under the rug is not really shocking but shows the general ambivalence of the right towards science in general.

 

"yeah he's probably wrong but w/e he's strong in his convictions so he is obviously capable of leading the country" That sounds like insanity to me. Young earthers are the worst and most obviously blatant form of science denial. It is absurd.
