Tucker Carlson recently sparked controversy on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast by claiming that Darwin’s theory of evolution has been debunked. He also suggested that UFOs are piloted by ‘spiritual entities’ with hidden headquarters on Earth. In his view, there is no evidence of evolution and questioned the idea that all life emerged from a single-cell organism.
During the podcast, Carlson expressed doubt about the validity of Darwin’s theory of evolution. While he acknowledged the theory of adaptation as true, he argued that the idea of all life evolving from a single-cell organism lacked evidence. Carlson’s views on evolution are based on his belief in God’s creation, specifically that people are distinctly created from animals.
A Pew Research poll from 2019 found that while a significant percentage of white evangelical Protestants in America believe in the theory of evolution, others hold varying beliefs about human existence. The poll revealed that faith plays a significant role in shaping people’s views on evolution, with some Christians accepting the theory while others reject it.
Overall, Carlson’s comments on evolution and UFOs have sparked a debate among experts and audiences alike. They highlight the diverse perspectives within both scientific and religious communities regarding these topics.
