Ben Carson Had The Best Response To An Atheist Who Denigrated His Belief in God

Ben Carson, while speaking to the Faith and Freedom Conference in Washington, D.C., last weekend, told a story about how he responded to an attack from a particularly aggressive atheist:

“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.”
