Apparently there are a series of these with him with many claiming that this is just a deadpan sense of humor. I don't know though....

I'll bet all the voters of our 57 states are throwing him off the cliff for not knowing such an easy fact.

Except Obama didn't double down and insist that there are 57 states because... errr... bible.

It would have been nice if the leftists had vetted Obama as much as Carson over the ******* pyramids.

Everytime someone finds something like this, some libtard rushes over here to this board to proclaim that "Carson has blown up." or "Carson's campaign is over"....LOL...you guys are funny.

He said it in the 90s and doubled down on it yesterday.

It's troubling because he holds onto it in the face of centuries of scholarship and mountains of evidence and all common sense to the contrary. Want to deny the big bang? Hey, reasonable minds can disagree and that's far from proven. Want to deny evolution? That's pushing it because we know microorganisms can evolve, but fine, that's not the craziest thing. But believing the pyramids were built to store grain is ******* crazy and doesn't pass the laugh test.

This is a guy who wants to be the next president of the United States. He lives in his own carefully constructed reality and rejects evidence that doesn't fit his worldview, even when the rest of the world disagrees. Being so easily dismissive of evidence is not a trait you want in a man vying to become the most powerful leader in the world with his finger on the nuclear button.

"Rejects evidence to fit his worldview"

Apply that to all of the socialist ideas by Obama and all of his followers...like you.

He didnt have to double down, because the liberal media simply believed him and moved on.

Whelp, Carson, if you said that in 1998 and came out this fall in 2015 and said something along the lines of "Yeah, my further research into the Pyramids pretty clearly shows it's a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu" it would be a lot easier to dismiss.

Unfortunately what looked initially as a promising candidacy is now looking a bit Loony Tunes to me, a moderate.

But if he is using his idea as a signalling to literalist Christians, well, he may just be onto something.

(Many non-religious people similarly hold fast to completely fictional urban legends like"global cooling / global warming / climate change" pseudo-science and anti-vaccination, anti-GMO scaremongering, so I don't think this is remotely unique to literalist Christians)

I don't think anyone seriously expected Him to win in the end anyway. He is just way too soft spoken to listen to. A snooze fest at best. Never been high on my list.

So I guess Lincoln would never have made it nowadays.

If the man can fix the economy and health care, then his beliefs on the pyramids are irrelevant.

Good grief.

Aside from some Leftist which others would've known about the pyramids anyway. We know that they're not the brightest lightbulbs in our country. Nooooo, but ask them about marijuana and they can write dissertations on the subject.

But, I do agree that Carson is our countrys secret weapon, he'll put our enemies to sleep.

I tell you Cruz is the best candidate.

Bernie Sanders.

I mean really, how do you criticize anyone else Max.

Yep, He Made more Republicans than Democrats go to the Poles the last 2 elections since then . Thanks for noticing !

Back to the OP, why does this matter? Is storing grain a major issue in this campaign? Is building pyramids? How does this impact anyone?

Because Hillary.

It shows ignorance, especially since he was quick to double down. He jumped to a conclusion on something without learning about it first. This is not something in dispute. Even taking out the historical record, the pyramids aren't even hollow; in fact, there are very few chambers and the volume of grain that could be stored is relatively miniscule to the size of the pyramids themselves. It was just an absolutely stupid thing to say and then he reaffirmed it. On top of that, there isn't even anything in the Bible that suggests his theory. It would be like claiming Stonehenge was built by the Romans. In other words, if you are a politician and don't know what you are talking about, learn to keep your mouth shut.
