He believes the earth existed for a long time before God decided to start creating...but then it took God only six 24-hour days to finish the job. Seriously. That's what he says he believes. It is interesting to speculate why this would disqualify him for the office of the President of the United States of America. I mean, what would his beliefs concerning the creation of the world and all that is in it have to do with his ability to govern? I can only speak for myself, but it would mean that the man doesn't have a scientific bone in his body when it comes to evaluating that evidence with respect to evolution and all of the geological and biological evidence that would indicate that the world was not created in 7 days (which is a scary thought when you consider he is a surgeon). The next thing is that it implies he is religious in a way that appears literal and simplistic - another strike against him (for me). This, in turn, would make me doubt his ability to entertain complex and sophisticated tools (thought processes) to deal with all sorts of issues that would, inevitably, pop up during his term. And this is just for starters. I have yet to really study the man but he seems to have grabbed the attention of the Republican voters at the moment. The whole thing is rather surreal for me. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : MD, I know he graduated from Yale and has a degree in medicine. But I don't know what type of Creationism he believes in. If he believes that the earth is only 6,000 years old, then I think there's something wrong with him. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : John, *creationism* is not limited to the traditionally held story of a six thousand year existence with a man created out of clay and life breathed into him in a garden along with a snake that talks,not anymore than the traditional stories of the Upanishads with flying mountains and devas and rakshasas , spinning a churn on a snake and turtle, making nectar. These are allegorical stories and Ben Carson knows that. My god man, he's a brain surgeon, not a community activist with a grudge. From: "jr_esq@...

So, it's a red flag that all voters should look out for. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : I'll answer that one for you: NO!!! The man is an ignoramus. The fact that he was a brain surgeon is irrelevant. His statements on all kinds of issues are so bizarre that it's hard to imagine anyone taking him seriously. Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to America since slavery. Yeah, right. Obamacare is worse than 9/11 because 9/11 was a one-time event.

So, one can't tell for sure his ascendant and dasha in effect. Based on his family history, one can guess that he was born as a Taurus ascendant. As such, I don't have a good basis for a jyotish prediction, whether he can win the presidency or not. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : And probably harder for a Seventh Day Adventist to be elected than a Mormon.
