Republican Jack Kingston On Evolution: I’m Not From A Monkey! (VIDEO)

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA)

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) said on Bill Maher’s show on Friday that he doesn’t believe in evolution because he doesn’t believe that he came from a monkey or that a “creature crawled out of the sea and became a human being one day.”

“I believe I came from God not from a monkey so the answer is no,” Kingston said when Maher asked him whether he believed in evolution.

“Where’s the missing link?”

“I know there is a difference between adaption and evolution,” Kingston said.
