For Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson, the theory of
evolution espoused by geologist Charles Darwin was not driven by
science. It was "encouraged" by Satan himself.

Reviving a speech he made before the 2011 Celebration of Creation
conference at Australia's Avondale College, the retired neurosurgeon
pointed out that unlike some scientists, Darwin did not believe in God.

"A lot of people believe in God, but I personally believe that this
theory that Darwin came up with was something that was encouraged by the
adversary [Satan]," Carson said in his speech, as quoted by CNS News.

"And it has become what is scientifically politically correct.
Amazingly, there are a significant number of scientists who do not
believe it but they're afraid to say anything," he added.

Crikey, Carson is just plain dangerous.
