Trump went out of his way to say "I don't know much about the 7 day religion" -
He brought it up for a reason - he wanted people to look closer at it. Trump could have easily googled it and learned anything he wanted. Instead, he essentially sicc'd the media upon him.
Now we see the result - Religion has become a key issue thanks to the dem plant Trump.
Ben Carson Believes The World Was Created In Six Days
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has long embraced his Christian beliefs, bringing praying into the operating room and the campaign trail. He was twice baptized under the Seventh-day Adventist faith, which he described in his book "Gifted Hands."
His religion has now become part of his presidential campaign after Republican front-runner Donald Trump attacked Carson's faith as he discussed Carson's polling numbers in the important early caucus state Iowa during a campaign rally in Florida over the weekend. "I love Iowa. And, look, I don't have to say it, I'm Presbyterian," said Trump. "Can you believe it? Nobody believes I'm Presbyterian. I'm Presbyterian. I'm Presbyterian. I'm Presbyterian. Boy, that's down the middle of the road folks, in all fairness. I mean, Seventh-day Adventist, I don't know about. I just don't know about."
Unlike most Christians, Seventh-day Adventists observe the Sabbath on Saturday. The church embraces a literal view of the Bible. "We believe that the biblical events recorded in Genesis 1-11, including the special creation of human beings, are historical and recent, that the seven days of creation were literal 24 hour days forming a literal week, and that the Flood was global in nature," reads the church's official Web site. Carson has said he accepts the church's teachings, saying he was "proud of the fact that I believe what God has said…that I believe in a literal, six-day creation."
The church's founder, William Miller, was a Baptist preacher from upstate New York who claimed Jesus Christ would return to earth on Oct. 22, 1844. The Seventh-day Adventist Church now has more than 18 million members globally and 1.2 million in North America. Followers claim they are waiting for the Second Coming and the end of the world
