It is too early to tell, but Carson's problem may have been name recognition, because I remember some polls that asked "who is your second or 3rd choice" and Carson was running dead last in both , meaning that in a 2 way race, he loses to everyone in the field.
No Christian believes the earth is 6 thousand years old... it was a star that burned out.. how could anyone believe it is 6 thousand years old???
Civilization is probably what you mean.. the earth was void..the bible says, it did not have life at the time that man was created.. it does not mean there was no other species that roamed the earth thousands or millions of years prior and died out ..
Maybe that's how you think but there are Christian out there that do believe the earth is 6 thousand years old. I know them in real life.
I started wondering, when I was in high school, why I was the only black kid in honors classes. And there were other sharp black kids in my grade. Then my parents filled me in on what happened when they registered me in school when we moved. The school district accused my parents of forging my test scores and wanted me to take new tests, IQ and otherwise before enrolling in the honers classes. Those tests were given in November, with results arriving in January, which would have meant I would have been 1/2 a year behind in those classes. They protested, and the school district relented.
In adulthood, I started chatting with other black friends, who lived all over the country, and 1/3 of them had really similar experiences in their school districts. And we are the ones who knew it happened. What about the other people?

Well,the earth is millions of years old.. this civilization of mankind has been here for 6,000 years old if interpreted by one day equals a thousand years to God..This is a small fact in the faith of many.
7th Day Adventists are a bible believing people . Many things in the bible are partly known.. our limited mind can only guess as to what God has done and can do with his universe.. The earth very well could be just a piece of dust in God's house his vastness is so great.
Why are black parents, especially single black moms, not encouraging/requiring/forcing their children to read Ben Carson's books and have him as a role model?
How common sense dumb he is. He compared Obamacare to be the worst thing to our country since slavery (forgetting things like Japanese internment camps, the backlash to the civil rights movement and oh say the right a woman couldn't get an abortion for any reason until 1973.) He also said being gay is a choice, that was NEVER true, even when being gay was a mental illness it was handled as reprogramming the brain rather than teaching about "bad choices." He also said prisons make people gay when at best, they are just committing gay acts and not "converted."

What kind of lame question is this?
Carson isn't the only black successful man out there. And many black parents DO have their kids read books, you just don't hear about them.
