I don't know anything about Carson as a doctor, I just know that he is one. Reminds me of the joke "what do you call a doctor that graduates at the bottom of their class? Doctor"
Einstein was brilliant...but could he have handled an invasion?
Some people are good leaders with open minds and an ability to access situationsn and make decisions. Some are simply guided by their ideology or religion...or both.
When you sound like an idiot regarding things not all that complex, it's going to make people question if can understand more complex issues. Maybe I could've stated it better but I thought the point was understood, unless one is trying to be snarky, and make something out of nothing. But then again it's all that Christianphobia pouring out of me. :snark:
