Herschel Walker, a Republican Senate candidate, cast doubt on the theory of evolution because apes and humans coexist.

At one time, science said man came from apes. Why are there still apes? Walker spoke at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia on Sunday.

Chuck Allen said Herschel was getting too smart for us.

Walker is the front-runner in the GOP contest to challenge Raphael Warnock. He is a former football player who has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump and he is outspoken about his faith.

Walker is not the first GOP candidate to question evolution.

Humans are not like the apes at the zoo. Humans and apes have the same ancestors that lived 10 million years ago. Chimpanzees are one step away from becoming people, but that doesn't mean they are apes. Walker's summary of evolution is incorrect and there is nothing incompatible about humans and other apes.

A number of prominent Christians have said it is possible to believe in both God and the science of evolution.

The Walker campaign didn't reply to a request for more information.

Walker said science can't do the conception of a baby.

They are still trying to do that, but they have to have a God.

Over the years, science has made remarkable progress in assisting people trying to have children with methods like in vitro fertilization.

Walker is the front-runner despite facing domestic violence allegations.

He was accused of displaying abusive and threatening behavior during their marriage. He pointed a gun at her head and said he was going to blow her brains out.

Two other women claim that Walker threatened them.

Walker said in a December interview that he has struggled with mental health issues and is accountable for his past actions, without going into specifics about his behavior toward his ex-wife.
