Ben Carson: Evolution 'Encouraged' by Satan, Big Bang Theory A 'Fairy Tale'

Evolution is the work of the devil. The Big Bang theory is a fairy tale pushed by "highfalutin scientists."

These are a few 'gems' that Republican presidential contender and retired neurosurgeon, Ben Carson 'discovered' and disclosed in a 2012 speech given to fellow Seventh-day Adventists during an event titled the "Celebration of Creation.".

He added that even if scientists do not believe in the Darwin theory, they are "too scared to admit it" according to Buzzfeed.

"I personally believe that this theory that Darwin came up with was something that was encouraged by the adversary, and it has become what is scientifically, politically correct," Carson said.

"Amazingly, there are a significant number of scientists who do not believe it but they're afraid to say anything," he said. Carson revealed that he planned to write a book called "The Organ of Species" showing how the organs of the body refute evolution.

His title is a take-off on the title of Darwin's breakthrough work "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859 and considered to be the foundation of evolutionary theory.

What is the origin of Ben Carson's own evolution?

He is a graduate from Yale University in 1973 and has a major in psychology, after which he got his medical degree from the University of Michigan. He finished his residency in neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and at 33 years, became the director of pediatric neurosurgery at the hospital - the youngest physician to run a major division there, according to CBS News.

In 1987, he actually made medical history when he became the first to "successfully separate conjoined twins connected at the head". He led a 70-member team for 22 hours.

Still, one thing he does not believe is the the mainstream scientific theory of the origin of the universe. He said the big bang is "really quite fascinating."

"I mean, here you have all these highfalutin scientists and they're saying it was this gigantic explosion and everything came into perfect order," Carson said. "Now these are the same scientists that go around touting the second law of thermodynamics, which is entropy, which says that things move toward a state of disorganization.

"So now you're gonna have this big explosion and everything becomes perfectly organized and when you ask them about it they say, 'Well we can explain this, based on probability theory because if there's enough big explosions, over a long period of time, billions and billions of years, one of them will be the perfect explosion,'" he said. "So I say what you're telling me is if I blow a hurricane through a junkyard enough times over billions and billions of years, eventually after one of those hurricanes there will be a 747 fully loaded and ready to fly."

He found the big bang theory "even more ridiculous" because there is order in the universe.

"Well, I mean, it's even more ridiculous than that 'cause our solar system, not to mention the universe outside of that, is extraordinarily well organized, to the point where we can predict 70 years away when a comet is coming," he said. "Now that type of organization to just come out of an explosion? I mean, you want to talk about fairy tales, that is amazing."

Ben Carson holds the second place in the GOP presidential running. He has an 18.8 percent support, and trails Donald Trump, who enjoys 28.5 percent, according to HNGN.
