False...
I can unequivocally state that I love science and understand and accept its basic laws. I do not know whether or not the earth is six thousand years old or not, and I'm not sure that such knowledge is important. The Bible says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth." It then goes on to describe the creation week without in any way indicating what the period of time was that elapsed between the first verse of the Bible and the start of creation week. It could have been billions of years, or it could have been less than one day. That means the earth could be billions of years old, or it could have been created in an already mature state by God six thousand years ago.
...Ben Carson's own words from his book One Nation.
Even though it isn't a big deal to him, (when the earth was created) the left has take his words and twist them around. They have to do this because Ben Carson is an icon in areas and communities where much of their base lives. They hate the fact that a poor black mother can raise her kids through hard work and not on the dole. And they hate hate hate to have those kids be as successful as Dr. Carson while applying conservative principles in his own life.
