As has been pointed out, this is absolutely standard Evangelical horseshit. They LOVE stories about how they used to be bad motherfuckers, heavy into motorcycles, and booze, and whores, and dungeons and dragons and how awesome they used to be, and aren't anymore because of Jesus.
"Went to school, got fair grades, was afraid to try pot, was a member of the Campus Crusade for Christ, married the first girl to give me a handjob, and now I am a pastor" doesn't really fill the pews like a sinner converted story does.
This won't hurt him with his demographic, and will be dismissed as 'gotcha journalism' or 'who is the real racist?' by fellow travellers.

Yeah, I doubt there's any chance this sinks him. Quick reminder that not a single one of Carson's statements investigated by politifact have merited anything above a "half true" judgement. As long as you say things they agree with, the fringe (well, not they're not all that fringe I guess) of the modern GOP base will accept anything you say, and decry facts to the contrary as the lamestream media at it again.

Moynihan was wrong.

So let's get back from Carson onto a more cheerful subject: Jeb!

So, as you know, Jeb's email address is jeb@jeb2016.com (sadly, jeb@jeb.org is dead). There's something different about Jeb! He actually responds to your messages. Especially if they're about football.

Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven

quote:

“I submit that changes can occur within a species, but is that a sign of evolution, or is it a sign of an intelligent creator who gave his creatures the ability to adapt to their environment so he wouldn’t have to start over every 50 years? You know, that sounds much more intelligent than anything else.

And no one has ever demonstrated one species changing to another species. This should be, if it’s true, a continual evolving. So we should be able to find intermediate species at any given point in time. We should be able to find how they line up.

Darwin said his whole theory depended on the fossil remains. He said we should be able to line up from a single-cell organism to man, several miles long and just walk right down the fossil trail and see how everything evolved.

“He [Darwin] said the only reason they didn’t have the fossils was because they were not geologically sophisticated enough, but that we would be in 50 to 100 years. Well, that was 150 years ago. We still haven’t found them. Where are they? Where are the fossil remains?”

When you ask the evolutionists about that, they say, ‘Uh, I don’t know where they are, they’re somewhere, they are, we just haven’t found them yet.’ That’s a pretty lame excuse, to be honest with you.”

CNN is claiming today that the people who knew Carson from this point in his life are all "WTF" and said that Ben Carson was a nerdy boy who wore a pocket protector, didn't speak much, and was in ROTC with thick glasses and was not a violent street thug at all.



As a teenager, Ben Carson was so smitten with his next-door neighbor Laura, he once used his scientific brilliance to construct a transformation chamber, hoping it would turn him from a nerdy, awkward, and annoying geek into a cool, confident, smooth operator suave enough to win her over.

But when he emerged from the chamber as Benn Carsón, this new personality was instead a dumb, violent psychopath, who went on a rampage stabbing friends with knives, clubbing relatives with blunt objects, and loudly proclaiming the Egyptian pyramids were used as grain silos instead of Pharaohs' tombs until Ben, thanks to Laura's encouragement, was able to briefly suppress Benn, climb back into the chamber, and return himself to normal.

Everybody learned a valuable lesson about the importance of being yourself, instead of trying to be something or someone you're not.

Or so we thought, for it soon became apparent that the Benn Carsón personality still lurked within Ben Carson's subconscious, periodically emerging and running amok, especially during times of great stress. So Ben, in order to learn how to remove this personality from his brain for good – even if it meant doing so by brute force – dedicated himself to the study of neurology. He became the world's greatest neursurgeon, but even this wasn't enough: the Benn Carsón personality was wily, and could not be isolated.

Out of options, Ben began heavily self-medicating with increasingly more powerful depressants, in an effort to at least smother the Benn Carsón personality. But this only exacerbated the problem, and now each personality alternates consciousness at random, while Benn Carsón constantly plots to finally take complete control of both their shared body, and the entire country.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he's running for President now.

There should be a continual evolving of grain storage, from simple holes carved into rock to massive stone pyramids. We should be able to find intermediate granaries at any given point in time. We should be able to find how they line up.

I've seen pretty much everything Carson has said parroted by fundies on Facebook, including the dumb intermediary species with a side of "if we evolved from chimps..."

It's what they already believe so it's true, welcome to the huge swaths of our country where anti-intellectualism is the norm. There's no sense in pressing for specifics to discredit him because he can just say, "well it didn't happen but I believe this to be true in that it praises Jesus" and that will be just as good and whoever had the audacity to ask, "hey that's a lie, why are you lying" will lose support

There's a reason these are the same people that confidence hucksters and snake oil salesmen prey almost exclusively on this same base. Look at the ads you hear on Rushbo compared to NPR
