“I remember a few years back I was engaged in a debate in Hollywood with a leading atheist. This guy thinks anybody who believes in God is a total moron. As they got to the end of the conversation, you know, he is denigrating anybody who could believe in Creation, I said, “You know what? You win.”

Then Carson told the crowd his response:

“I believe I came from God, and you believe you came from a monkey. And you’ve convinced me you’re right.”
