I've made this comment on a couple reaction videos about this Tucker Carlson clip. In my opinion, this evolution denialism is100% a grift on Carson's part. Since getting fired by Fox, Tucker has lost relevance and audience. This anti-evolution take is an attempt to hang on to the MAGA evangelical segment of his audience (IMO).
I’m no fan of Carlson, but he has been pretty consistent on his stance on evolution. This is a more beneficial position to have for his evangelical following rather than the MAGA crowd.
Even though I can totally see what you're saying, I think I disagree. I have known a lot of creationists, due to my proximity to and involvement in a nearby creationist museum, and you'd be surprised just how many otherwise intelligent, educated people take this stance. And very rich ones, at that. Carlson runs adjacent to a lot of Nazi circles, as he's made clear with a lot of his rhetoric, and a lot of Nazis are hardcore, convicted creationists.
@@christianjalexander I believe you, I just do not believe Tucker Carlson is a hardcore, convinced ANYTHING. He has repeatedly shown that he has no problem contradicting himself from one moment to the other or taking any absurd position so long as he perceives that his audience will like it.
I long ago stopped caring if Tucker Carlson is a fiction or a reality. Man could be keeping it real or keeping kayfabe, the point is this is the schtick he sells and that's what matters.

We knew that we weren't being paid for our musical talents, we were being paid to heckle the refs and the other team, we were being paid to entertain the crowd, we were being paid to cheer, etc. Sure, I loved cheering for my team, but there were definitely lots of moments when I went full actor mode and did things because I was a professional, paid to do it, not passionately doing what we did. Tucker is a professional in the best and worst meanings of that word, and his profession is not winning a game or making an enjoyable game day experience for the paying fans, but rather creating engagement in an audience.
Well honestly you don't see evolution. You have to prove it first. common DNA isn't enough to just say so and it hasn't been proven. It's like some one takes a shit in your closet and you think it's the guy with the shitty pants but it turns out it was your brother all along. Before you get all pissy about it you better prove it first.
''The THEORY of adaptation is OBVIOUSLY true, but the THEORY of evolution is still just a theory.'' He's not even listening to what's coming out of his own mouth.
"Adaptation, not evolution." is new Creationist mantra. But they never explain what mechanisms are involved in adaptation. Apparently it just happens. Magically.

In a lot of cases, if not most of them, it's an inability to understand big numbers.

Carlson understands everything you are saying perfectly well. He's just putting on a character mask that will allow him to keep his ignorant, religious audience.
Tucker Carlson is a millionaire posing as a common man. He had a very expensive university education and knows perfectly well that evolution is a rock solid part of science, but his past and current job, his income and his social relevance depend on him pretending to "not know" or "have doubts" or "have questions" about science.
Just because he had an expensive education doesn't mean he actually understands any of it. To me he seems to be deeply stupid rather than just a grifter
He’s had the best education growing up he went to private schools in Switzerland and other parts of the world. he doesn’t believe any of this stuff. but he knows the brain dead morons that listen to him will. It’s all a grift
They absolutely are. Most "skeptics" are really only doing this so they are able to feel as if they stood higher than others, having "opened their third eye", "reading between the lines". They are aware of their inability (or lack of will) to participate in research or even attempt to reasonably debunk any argument and thus they resort to beliefs rather than reason. The dumber one is the more confident they are that they are right I suppose...
I worked with someone that frequently described themself as a scientist - because they were in the first year of a distance learning physics degree - who was adamant that evolution wasn't likely because there was no evidence and it was "only a theory and not a law". They wouldn't accept that a theory is not the same as a hypothesis or even a "guess".
Whenever people are confused about theories and hypotheses, I ask them if they believe in facts and then mention that theories are made up of facts, it's kinda what makes them theories in the first place, facts and well an explanation (think law of gravity vs theory of gravity). I'm in no way a scientist and am not that interested in it but that's how I tend to explain it and it usually works but usually the people I'm explaining it too are just confused and are not in active denial
Thanks! Great channel. I'm an amateur fan of all subjects Evolution, who went to Theoretical Physics for job after hesitating a lot. Recently restarted university classes to move to Evolutionary research subjects. I love your channel for its detailed scientific approach. I hope you continue it long enough for me to catch up :-)
Love you and take your time! I’m a retired professor (medievalist), and I still remember submitting the final copies of my dissertation (350 pages) to my committee for the (argh) defense…take your time and remember that you’ve got it!
Even when I don't check youtube for a few days I notice when the channels I subscribe to don't upload anything. When I'm distracted for too long, I wind up with freaking cult propaganda in my recommendations on the right side of the screen, so that makes it even more obvious.
@@byrnemeister2008 money is a tool to be used, it is and has never been a real measure of worth of a person. too bad the rich these days dont realize that.
Brain worms avoid Tucker for the same reason, mice avoid a kitchen without food. The fact that those worms learned from the tragic demise of their brother inside Bob Kennedy, is already compelling evidence of evolution.
I go down the same rabbit hole in a creationist facebook group. Trying to explain science to some of them is... a huge time sink and sometimes a little frustrating, but it also itches my brain.
I had a creationist point out to me that bacteria has only been observed turning into bacteria and if it did evolve into a new lifeform that it would be catastrophic to the ecosystem. I didn't know what to say. You?
@DonJuan-1611 That's a very good point and question. I think that it would only be catastrophic if the change happened quickly and if it happened without a niche of its own to fill. Humans are a good example of this. We've gone into ecosystems and changed them very, very rapidly, regardless of any niches. If there was a space for a bacteria to evolve into something bigger and greater, then it could. Evolutionary mechanisms demonstrate that. It's also worth pointing out that a gradual change like that would involve the ecosystem changing with the organisms that evolve into it. It's a complicated dance. Under the assumption that this bacteria evolved very, very quickly into a niche that didn't exist, then it would be as catastrophic as any invasive species. That's the qualifier for what makes something an invasive species.
@@Malicious2013 That's a lot of if's. If evolution were true bacteria is claimed to be the perfect medium to observe this. The fact that it never has been observed to evolve into another lifeform, or anything for that matter is an issue. Shouldn't the world be filled with transitional species. Wolf and the chihuahua are still dogs.
Many years ago, Tucker Carlson had a show on MSNBC. One of the regular segments on his show was a debate between him and Rachel Maddow. She never failed to demolish his crackpot positions. I guess that's why MSNBC fired Carlson and gave Maddow her own show.
Not necessarily. You may be lying to us, and there may not have been a last piece of cornbread. All we need to do is find cornbread, or bake one, there will be more cornbread, and therefore, you will not have eaten the last piece. Your theory has been proven false, and you will not be awarded a PhD in this subject.
@@Chompchompyerded I have paid congress to redefine cornbread, and then make the ingredients illegal. So any cornbread that that was made after I ate that last piece was illegal.
@@travisgessler6283 But the United States isn't the only country where cornbread is made. So that you cannot foil my attempt to make more cornbread, I will not tell you what all the countries are in which they make cornbread. Additionally, I have purchased a large supply of cornbread making materials, and have locked it away in a secret location known only to me. In the interests of world peace and human harmony, Ii might offer you the last piece of the cornbread I will make. I have enough for a very long time though, and by the time I get to making the last batch the oil will be rancid and the larva of many insects will be coursing their way through the cornmeal. That will, however, serve to make it some of the most protein rich cornbread ever made, if you can stomach eating lots of webs, bug poo, and some buttery soft partially cooked larvae. And tolerate the rancid stale taste too.
Always nice to get a refresher on the basics. Your palaeoanthropology news can get very deep at times, for us laypeople (simple enough for other palaeoanthropologists, I'm sure).
As a mathematician I'd say Principia was less revolutionary than The Origin of Species was. Still vastly important but Darwin proving his dad's ideas and writing them down on paper was a pretty massive deal.
I don't quite agree with you on this one. Newton's Principia is much broader in its influence of science AND engineering. In addition, the effect that this work has on humankind overall is much greater. Newtonian mechanics was the driving mechanism of the industrial revolution. We went to the moon by exclusively using Newtonian gravitational theory, not a single equation from general relativity was used. These are just two ways that the ideas within Principia have effected humankind from the top of my head.
@@user-lb8qx8yl8k I agree with you on the merits of calculus, but Newton wasn't the only person at the time working on it. On that premise alone I can understand why some people would consider Origin of the Species to be more influential

Fox news argued in a court of law that Tucker Carlson is a character that no reasonable person would take seriously. I don't think we could even say that he's not trolling here.
Trucker Carlson dropped out of college in his freshman year because he was failing and he claimed the teachers (professors) did not know what they were talking about, but he did.
@@taoofjester4113 That's worse than if he had gotten it out of a cereal box. Religious schools are glorified diploma mills with the budget to buy legitimacy.
That's definitely not true. What's well documented is he took a time out whilst in college to travel to Nicaragua to support the Contras. Tucker Carlson contributed to the slaughter of thousands, and the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic in America.. a true patriot.
Where did you hear that? He graduated from Trinity. Of course, he only got into Trinity (after being rejected by numerous other schools) with the help of his father-in-law, which is almost as bad, credentials-wise.
She is arguing and debating, they are making noise to distract others and sap her energy (and ours). It’s a tactic to get us and Erica to waste our time and energy in futility.
Thanks Erica, I was sure you would address Little Tucky Swanson’s grift. Not to give him any credit, but I’m sure he got a basic education in the private schools he attended and was kicked out of. He is still on his grift of appealing to the uneducated masses. I don’t for one minute believe that he believes the bs he is spewing. For all his experience of “ journalism” he knows that what he is saying is manipulative.
Tucker knows nothing about evolution or any other kind of science. Even Vladimir Putin considered him a joke after he was interviewed by Tucker. Yet poor Tucker is so clueless about how he is viewed by everyone else.
Your work is absolutely excellent. I listened to the Tuck interview on Rogan and I was dumbfounded to hear his astonishing absurdity regarding Phylogenetic development of organisms and then I remembered that Tucker Carlson is a real life Sith Lord. He says whatever needs to be said in order to foster rhetorical confusion to create conflict and division. Thank you for spending the time to rebut and debunk his absurd assertion in front of tens of millions of people, honestly I didn't even know where to begin. It was like hearing someone say that they don't believe in the Sun or something. Thank you for making this brilliant video to display the extraordinary majesty of modern biodiversity. I appreciate it so much. Liked and shared.
To assert that something is proven is to imply that there is nothing more to learn. Therefore, science creates theoretical models, and can never allow one to be "proven." Therefore, everything from atomics to gravity will always be a theory, and every hypothesis and theory put forth requires a test that would prove it wrong. Only when it survives those tests, and predictions based upon the model have been verified, will anything be upgraded to the level of Theory.
Weirdly, he went to a pretty good school. He's not a dumb guy. Which... honestly, makes his actions _WAY_ worse. He knows he's spewing B.S., but he does it anyway. That's straight up evil.
@@idontwantahandlethough Tucker C NEVER attended school, because THAT would require ACTUAL HARD WORK and DISCIPLINE, which he has NONE of. So I have the right to declare everything HE believes to be true, about himself personally or about whatever BS subject he allegedly "studied in school", to be false. Then ANYBODY -- Animal Rights Vegans, Marxists, Socialists, climate activists, prisoner rights activists - can make money lying, too, if it benefits THEIR political causes, too.
Sounds like the host of the video here listened, and people here must have listened. Either that or they are commenting on something they never even heard.
Ik you're joking but jic ydk, _creation ex nihilo_ is creation from nothing. If Tucker Carlson was created _ex nihilo_ then he couldn't have been created from anything.
@@executor32 ah you're welcome. Btw I actually read the Wikipedia articles on _creation ex nihilo_ and _creation ex materia_ . They were fun reads and they're not that long. The lead section of the article on _creation ex nihilo_ explicitly calls it a theist doctrine. Which is what is. But for some reason, creationists insist this is what atheists believes. It's as if they don't realize an atheist could believe the universe has always existed or simply hold no view on the matter at all. Another funny thing is that creationists seem to not realize is that if _creation ex nihilo_ is impossible, then God cannot be the only eternal thing. Bcoz God would have to fashion the universe out of already preexisting eternal material. This is self-defeating for the creationist.
I honestly don't think Carlson believes a single thing he says, there were multiple leaks during the fox news lawsuit where he admits he's only appealing to what he knows the viewers wanted to hear, and with being exiled to twitter he's once again just trying to say whatever he can to grift an audience.

Sadly, some people will always believe that *ancient ignorance* is better than *modern knowledge.*
I feel that they are almost comforted by it.
What is 'tradition' but peer-pressure from dead people?
They absolutely are.
Most "skeptics" are really only doing this so they are able to feel as if they stood higher than others, having "opened their third eye", "reading between the lines".
They are aware of their inability (or lack of will) to participate in research or even attempt to reasonably debunk any argument and thus they resort to beliefs rather than reason.
The dumber one is the more confident they are that they are right I suppose...
Haha! The “I’m okay” clip. 😂
"Do you think we understand more now?"
"😐😶... Yes."
This was a funny highlight
I worked with someone that frequently described themself as a scientist - because they were in the first year of a distance learning physics degree - who was adamant that evolution wasn't likely because there was no evidence and it was "only a theory and not a law". They wouldn't accept that a theory is not the same as a hypothesis or even a "guess".
Whenever people are confused about theories and hypotheses, I ask them if they believe in facts and then mention that theories are made up of facts, it's kinda what makes them theories in the first place, facts and well an explanation (think law of gravity vs theory of gravity). I'm in no way a scientist and am not that interested in it but that's how I tend to explain it and it usually works but usually the people I'm explaining it too are just confused and are not in active denial

Goodness, this Tucker Carlson interview has been all over the place lately! Everyone is ripping into it, and rightfully so. Thanks for weighing in.
A core problem that many creationists have with the entirety of evolution, I believe, is that it doesn’t place humanity on any sort of pedestal.
Indeed so. 👍
Indeed, religion meet hubris.
I don't think so, I think that it's grasping the sheer amount of time that evolution takes. Hubris takes care of itself.
Actually, the problem is that many use evolution to posit God isn't necessary.
The real problem is it removes their god and cheezitz from the equation of life.
Good luck on your proposal! I just finished mine too and it’s a load off your back when it’s done

I had a creationist point out to me that bacteria has only been observed turning into bacteria and if it did evolve into a new lifeform that it would be catastrophic to the ecosystem.
I didn't know what to say.
You?
@DonJuan-1611 That's a very good point and question. I think that it would only be catastrophic if the change happened quickly and if it happened without a niche of its own to fill. Humans are a good example of this. We've gone into ecosystems and changed them very, very rapidly, regardless of any niches. If there was a space for a bacteria to evolve into something bigger and greater, then it could. Evolutionary mechanisms demonstrate that. It's also worth pointing out that a gradual change like that would involve the ecosystem changing with the organisms that evolve into it. It's a complicated dance.
Under the assumption that this bacteria evolved very, very quickly into a niche that didn't exist, then it would be as catastrophic as any invasive species. That's the qualifier for what makes something an invasive species.
@@Malicious2013 That's a lot of if's.
If evolution were true bacteria is claimed to be the perfect medium to observe this.
The fact that it never has been observed to evolve into another lifeform, or anything for that matter is an issue.
Shouldn't the world be filled with transitional species.

Many years ago, Tucker Carlson had a show on MSNBC. One of the regular segments on his show was a debate between him and Rachel Maddow. She never failed to demolish his crackpot positions. I guess that's why MSNBC fired Carlson and gave Maddow her own show.

Not necessarily. You may be lying to us, and there may not have been a last piece of cornbread. All we need to do is find cornbread, or bake one, there will be more cornbread, and therefore, you will not have eaten the last piece. Your theory has been proven false, and you will not be awarded a PhD in this subject.
But who created the cornbread?!?!
@@Chompchompyerded I have paid congress to redefine cornbread, and then make the ingredients illegal. So any cornbread that that was made after I ate that last piece was illegal.
@@travisgessler6283 But the United States isn't the only country where cornbread is made. So that you cannot foil my attempt to make more cornbread, I will not tell you what all the countries are in which they make cornbread. Additionally, I have purchased a large supply of cornbread making materials, and have locked it away in a secret location known only to me. In the interests of world peace and human harmony, Ii might offer you the last piece of the cornbread I will make. I have enough for a very long time though, and by the time I get to making the last batch the oil will be rancid and the larva of many insects will be coursing their way through the cornmeal. That will, however, serve to make it some of the most protein rich cornbread ever made, if you can stomach eating lots of webs, bug poo, and some buttery soft partially cooked larvae. And tolerate the rancid stale taste too.

Always nice to get a refresher on the basics. Your palaeoanthropology news can get very deep at times, for us laypeople (simple enough for other palaeoanthropologists, I'm sure).
I think this might have been the best introduction to biological evolution I have seen. Good job, Erika!

As a mathematician I'd say Principia was less revolutionary than The Origin of Species was. Still vastly important but Darwin proving his dad's ideas and writing them down on paper was a pretty massive deal.
As a physicist, I’d agree. Origin of Species essentially made biology a science.
I don't quite agree with you on this one. Newton's Principia is much broader in its influence of science AND engineering. In addition, the effect that this work has on humankind overall is much greater.
Newtonian mechanics was the driving mechanism of the industrial revolution. We went to the moon by exclusively using Newtonian gravitational theory, not a single equation from general relativity was used. These are just two ways that the ideas within Principia have effected humankind from the top of my head.
His Grandfather had a partial idea for Evolution.
@@Foolish188 Some of his father's old sermons talked about it too! It was a family affair.
@@user-lb8qx8yl8k I agree with you on the merits of calculus, but Newton wasn't the only person at the time working on it. On that premise alone I can understand why some people would consider Origin of the Species to be more influential

Tucker Carlson contributed to the slaughter of thousands, and the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic in America.. a true patriot.

Didn’t know that theory is the highest title an idea can hold without being mathematical.
A _scientific_ theory is the highest level of explanation in science over and above a fact in the sense that the latter doesn't explain.
To assert that something is proven is to imply that there is nothing more to learn. Therefore, science creates theoretical models, and can never allow one to be "proven." Therefore, everything from atomics to gravity will always be a theory, and every hypothesis and theory put forth requires a test that would prove it wrong. Only when it survives those tests, and predictions based upon the model have been verified, will anything be upgraded to the level of Theory.

Tucker Carlson knows very little. But of course, the people who listen to him know even less.
Weirdly, he went to a pretty good school. He's not a dumb guy. Which... honestly, makes his actions _WAY_ worse. He knows he's spewing B.S., but he does it anyway. That's straight up evil.
@@idontwantahandlethough Tucker C NEVER attended school, because THAT would require ACTUAL HARD WORK and DISCIPLINE, which he has NONE of.

Then ANYBODY -- Animal Rights Vegans, Marxists, Socialists, climate activists, prisoner rights activists - can make money lying, too, if it benefits THEIR political causes, too.

It's a little-known fact that God created Tucker Carlson _ex materia_ from an expired Swanson TV dinner he found at the back of the divine freezer.
Ik you're joking but jic ydk, _creation ex nihilo_ is creation from nothing. If Tucker Carlson was created _ex nihilo_ then he couldn't have been created from anything.
@@pythondrink Right you are, apparently it should be _ex materia_ instead. Thanks for pointing it out 🫡
@@executor32 ah you're welcome. Btw I actually read the Wikipedia articles on _creation ex nihilo_ and _creation ex materia_ . They were fun reads and they're not that long. The lead section of the article on _creation ex nihilo_ explicitly calls it a theist doctrine. Which is what is. But for some reason, creationists insist this is what atheists believes. It's as if they don't realize an atheist could believe the universe has always existed or simply hold no view on the matter at all.
Another funny thing is that creationists seem to not realize is that if _creation ex nihilo_ is impossible, then God cannot be the only eternal thing. Bcoz God would have to fashion the universe out of already preexisting eternal material. This is self-defeating for the creationist.
It’s not that the algorithm thinks you like creationism, it likes that you emotionally engage with it.

His father, Harold Dibble, was an archeologist with a focus on stone tools. His two sons were named Flint and Chip :^)
Still doesn't have the same ring to it as Fred Flintstone or even Barney Rubble...or Archie O'Ologist, OK.... I made Archie up , he's fictional unlike the first two guys.
