‘Why Are There Still Apes? Think About It’: Herschel Walker has his doubts about evolution – By Rebekah Sager (Daily Kos) / March 16, 2022
Georgians have two choices for the Senate seat in this year’s midterms. One is the incumbent, Sen. Raphael Warnock. He’s the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, a Democrat, the first Black senator serving on the Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee; Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee; Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee; and the Special Committee on Aging and the Joint Economic Committee. The other is Herschel Walker, a retired NFL star with questionable business practices who doesn’t believe in evolution. Not a challenging decision if you ask me. But … it is Georgia.
Walker gave a speech at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia Sunday where he actually questioned the science of evolution, not just implying but challenging the notion that if apes and humans coexisted, that means there is no evolution. He’s the GOP front-runner.
“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Herschel said.
“Now you’re getting too smart for us, Herschel,” Lead Pastor Chuck Allen responded.
