Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker questioned the existence of evolution this week in an appearance at a Georgia church.

“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not?” Walker said on Sunday at Sugar Hill Church in Sugar Hill, Ga, during an on-stage interview. Lead Pastor Chuck Allen responded, “Every time I read or hear that, I think to myself, ‘You just didn’t read the same Bible I did.'”

“That’s what’s interesting, though. If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Walker continued.
