A possible Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson suggested over the weekend that religion was necessary for testing scientific theories because the science could be “propaganda.”
On Sunday, NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Carson, a former neurosurgeon, how science could coexist with his conservative Christian principles.
“I find, a very good measure of correlation between my religious beliefs and my scientific beliefs — people say, how can you be a scientist, how can you be a surgeon if you don’t believe in certain things?” he continued. “Maybe those things aren’t scientific. Maybe it’s just propaganda.”

And so the lynching begins.
I like Ben Carson's Economic Plan, Health Care Plan and his Foreign Policy.

Great. Now, what do you think about his stance on using religion to test science?

Is it "lynching" when Obama is being criticized? See the disconnect you have here?

Or are you under the false illusion that a Ben Carson Presidency would overturn Science and turn this country into a Theocracy...

I wonder how religious beliefs would stand up to the "scientific method" and investigation rather than just faith? Would Dr. Carson be willing to hold religion to the same standard and allow religion to be tested as well? I doubt it....

Anythings possible but imo most religious beliefs are precisely "propaganda" to control individual thought into a narrow cosmology.
Ben Carson as POTUS could be the first step into a Theocracy. "Burn the Witch"

Not at all. In fact, I pointed out that Ben has said he doesn't think religion belongs in government.

That's what he said alright....
And that being the case...I still don't trust Christians or politicians to respect my freedoms of religion or anything else for that matter.

I am not Christian per say but your freedoms came from Christians. I suggest you read two treatuses of governement by john locke. You would see after the glorious revolution how locke helped shape every western modern government. Kant as well.
