evolution is worthless except as a curiousity. Applied mathematics=applied science. A biochemist studying nucleotide chemistry using scientific method in the lab or field will come to the same conclusions whether they believe in evolution or not. Ben Carson is a world class surgeon and a true genius; he knows more about biochemistry than any of us. And he thinks that evolution is bullshit. And he's right.
Mathematics is not the same thing as science. The concept of 'theory' is useless in mathematics.

That's just wrong.

"Ben Carson is a world class surgeon and a true genius; he knows more about biochemistry than any of us. And he thinks that evolution is bullshit. And he's right."
This is wrong too. In science we call this thinking anecdotal fallacy.
Because he is a world class surgeon doesn't mean he is right any more than "knowing more than any of us" does. When Linus Pauling, winner of the Nobel Prize for his work in DNA, started telling everyone to take massive amounts of vitamin 'C' to basically save their lives he was completely wrong! You're not critically thinking here, because he thinks evolution is worthless doesn't make it worthless, your building your opinion on one person's perspective. This is the same mistake religious fundamentalist make when they step on a bus with a bomb strapped to their chest because someone they believe is right told them 21 virgins wait for them at death!
