re: Dr Ben Carson is the first Republican in the ring for 2016 election.

Thanks for the response. Truly appreciate the honest discussion.

So, something from nothing? Macro evolution? Okay. Yeah, you and I would definitely be on the far end of the spectrum of each other. Fair enough.

And again, we are going to disqualify an individual (though he has never even stated that creation much less YEC is his belief) because he might (might) believe and yet elect a former community organizer who held no positions of executive leadership in the public or private sector. But (I would have to believe) he is definitely not a creationist (YEC or any other).

Sounds legit.

(you are actually a cool dude - thanks for the discussion and the differing viewpoint)
