What a dumbass. Somebody should as him to name the 53 states.

First, it is 57 states.
Second, you're going to compare an obvious goof with a thought-out and carefully articulated expression of belief? ok

Not really. He is still campaigning where the Evangelical RWNJ's live. He still has not proven that independents will just let his strange views slide.

How bad is it when Trump isn't even close to the biggest kook running for his party's nomination?

Archaeologists To Ben Carson: Ancient Egyptians Wrote Down Why The Pyramids Were Built

[...]

We know what the pyramids were built for because the ancient Egyptians tell us what they were built for (see, for example, the Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts). Denying ancient people the capability of building monumental structures is not new, though, and not confined to Egypt — plenty of people over the years have denied that Native Americans could have built the massive earthwork mounds across the U.S. and that the Mayas could have built their pyramids without help from aliens, Europeans, or a higher religious power.

It might be nice to think that Carson has learned since his talk, nearly two decades ago, more about the ancient Egyptian civilization. But no; Carson affirmed this belief in Joseph and his amazing technicolor grain silo to CBS News last night, doubling down on a profound, willful ignorance of science.

In the end, does it really matter what Carson thinks about the Egyptian pyramids? There will always be science deniers, there will always be people swayed by pseudoarchaeology, and there will always be people who believe what they want no matter the facts. It does matter, though, because Carson is vying for the job of representing the United States. So it matters that Carson casually rejects hundreds of years’ worth of research because in denying science, he throws the U.S. back into the past. It matters that he brazenly denies the Egyptian people their rightful history because this marginalizes an entire culture and makes the U.S. look like an ignorant bully.

Pffft...I guess archaeologists and the ancient Egyptians don't care that Dr. Carson has his own personal theory.

It must be respected or blaise will follow you around for weeks calling you a bigot.

Stupid archaeologists are probably the same crackpots who believe the Earth is billions of years old.

Those would be some atrociously designed and incredibly inefficient grain silos.

DaveNull 11-05-2015 07:20 PM

Then there's this shit, but it's not nearly as mind numbing as his pyramid theory..
