What is it with wingnut MD's? First, we had the Georgia Two, Dr. Paul Broun and Dr. Phil Gingrey. Broun said everything he'd learned in medical school were lies from the pit of hell, and Gingrey, who was an anti-vaxxer, agreed with Todd Akin that women have secret lady-juices that keep them from getting pregnant while being raped, and who, back when children were flooding the southern border, argued that most of them were disease-ridden little Ebola bombs waiting to detonate on your child's playground. Now comes Dr. Ben Carson, a legitimate superstar in the field of pediatric neurosurgery, which is about as specialized as a specialty can be and, as the current place entry in the Republican presidential derby, Dr. Ben has some thoughts he'd like to share on the creation of the universe.

"I find the big bang, 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. 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," continued Carson. "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. Carson added that he believed the big bang was "even more ridiculous" because there is order to 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." Later, Carson said he personally believed Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was encouraged by the devil.

I got lost somewhere in there when the hurricane blew through the junkyard. What in the name of Edwin Hubble is this man talking about? Why is this man allowed out in public without a handler? Can we just have the election now?
