During a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, broadcaster Tucker Carlson made controversial comments about evolution. He argued that Darwin’s theory of evolution has been debunked and claimed there is no evidence to support it. Carlson also expressed his belief that UFOs are piloted by “spiritual entities” with hidden headquarters on Earth.
While Carlson acknowledged the existence of adaptation, he questioned the idea that all life emerged from a single-cell organism and pointed out the lack of a fossil record to support this theory. He argued that Darwin’s theory of evolution is not true in its most basic sense.
Despite his controversial statements, host Joe Rogan did not press him further on the matter. Later, Carlson shared his own theories, stating that he believes God created people and animals distinctly. This perspective aligns with the beliefs of many white evangelical Protestants in the United States, according to a 2019 Pew Research poll.
In contrast, the same poll indicated that many Christians in the US actually do believe in evolution, depending on how the question is asked. People’s responses to questions about evolution can vary based on their religious beliefs and interpretations. Ultimately, the debate over evolution continues to be a topic of controversy and discussion among experts and the general public.
