Recently, journalist Tucker Carlson sparked controversy on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast by challenging Darwin’s theory of evolution. According to Carlson, the idea of all life emerging from a single-cell organism lacks evidence and has been debunked. He also suggested that UFOs are piloted by “spiritual entities” with hidden headquarters on Earth.
During the podcast, Carlson expressed his doubts about Darwin’s theory of evolution and its validity. While he acknowledged the concept of adaptation, he questioned the idea that all life evolved from a single-cell organism. Carlson’s views on evolution are rooted in his belief that God created people distinctly from animals.
A Pew Research poll from 2019 revealed that white evangelical Protestants in America hold varying beliefs about human existence, with some accepting the theory of evolution while others reject it. Faith plays a significant role in shaping people’s views on evolution, highlighting the diverse perspectives within the scientific and religious communities.
Carlson’s comments have sparked a debate among experts and audiences alike, emphasizing the need for further research and exploration into these complex topics.
