    Of course not. That would require him acknowledging women in science. That would be Marie Curie.

    How convenient it would be to believe that the immense forces of destruction we are capable of did not originate with us

      He’s an psychopathic idiot who laughs like a maniac on speed. I’m pretty sure his idea of research is “I spent 15 minutes not understanding the wiki.”

      He’s talking to evangelicals who react when you use the word “demonic” about anything. They hold great political sway, and they have proven that they will go against their own moral interests to nurture their political interests.

      Case in point, watch them get in line to vote for Trump today, despite him being the antithesis of evangelical behavior and values.

          Yeah, in this case, sure. But I guess I was talking about more in general. These people are out there. I would wager that there are millions of them in the US. At least.

              For sure… But it seems like a whole different level of indoctrination than just like “being a Christian” or whatever.

              Like, you have to be OK with ignoring objective reality. It’s just something I have trouble grasping.

        People aren’t atheist because they have no personal experience proving the existence of a god.

        Atheism isn’t a belief system.

        The lack of evidence for a god is why atheists exist.

        Personal experience and evidence are two different things.

          Atheism is a belief system. It is the belief that there is no deity.

          The scientific approach is agnosticism. In the absence of evidence, or what one considers evidence, the scientific answer is “i don’t know”.

          Personal experience and evidence are two different things.

          And a lot of what we consider to be scientifically proven, are theories, which are subject to constant change. The best example probably being atomic models and how rapidly they developed in the early 20th century. However that Bohrs atom model of circular movement of electrons around the atoms core was succeeded by more detailed models and the circles being disproved, doesn’t mean Bohr was any less of a scientist or evidence based researcher.

          Meanwhile except for very few physics experts we all just accept that orbitals are the best approximation we have right now, because we read it in some book.

    I’ve got the impression that Tucker Carlson is going after Alex Jones his audience. Tucker Carlson peddling crazy conspiracy theories right when the chickens are coming home to roost for Alex Jones, imo that’s no coincidence. Tucker never was stupid, he just has no morals, so he never had a problem with publicly stating stuff that he personally didn’t believe in. Grifters gonna grift.

      That’s my initial thought as well. The weird thing though is he’s already rich, he could bugger off into obscurity and live a life of luxury, but it seems like he just craves attention.

    Tucker is the consummate media insider and comes right out of the rich elite. He has not gone crazy - he is just cornering a niche of crazies, to whom he will sell vitamins and demon repellent.
