Christians should not only reject the Big Bang and evolution theories, but they should wholly embrace six-day creationism because it upholds the authority and trustworthiness of the Bible as divine revelation and demonstrates God’s omnipotence, omniscience, and sovereignty over all creation.
Tucker Carlson, a prominent figure in American media and politics, has recently shifted his discourse, delving into fundamental philosophical and religious questions. This change in his discussion topics is significant, as it explores the deeper meaning of the political battles that our nation is currently witnessing.
Carlson certainly seems like he is “not far from the Kingdom.” His journey towards Christianity appears to be a gradual one, marked by introspection and Bible reading. As far as I am tracking, he has yet to openly call himself a Christian. Still, he continues to articulate deeply Christian themes and truths both on his own platform and in his media appearances.
Recently, Carlson joined the famous podcaster Joe Rogan for a long-form and wide-ranging conversation about a wide array of topics, including whether aliens are actually demons (spoiler alert — they are).
What caught my attention was the unexpected manner in which Carlson dismissed the scientific theory of Darwinian evolution as laughable. I wasn’t expecting such a frank and even scornful rejection of what has long been a tenet of modernity. It was refreshing.
Here is a lightly edited transcript of that portion of the interview:
Carlson: “There’s no evidence that evolution [is true]…in fact, I think we have kind of given up on the idea of evolution; the theory of evolution as articulated by Darwin is kind of not true.
Rogan: “In what sense?”
Carlson: “In the most basic sense. The idea that all life emerged from a single-cell organism over time. And there would be a fossil record of that and there’s not. No, there is no evidence at all that…none, zero…that people evolved seamlessly from a single-cell amoeba. No, there’s not. There’s no chain in the fossil record of that. You hear people make reference to evolution…but Darwin’s theory is totally [unproven]. That’s why it’s still a theory over 200 years later. No, we have not found that at all.”
Rogan: “What are your theories?”
Carlson: “God created people. Distinctly. And animals. I think that’s what every person on earth thought until the mid-19th century, actually. That’s not a new idea.”
Hearing Carlson boldly calling out Darwinian evolution as total nonsense reminds me just how critical it is that Christians believe in a literal six-day creation.
Why? Because this is what the Bible teaches — and therefore what Christians must believe:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth….God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day…Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.”
–Genesis 1:1, 1:31, 2:1-2
In fact, it’s so important that God rearticulated this fact in the Ten Commandments:
“For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.”
–Exodus 20:11
As Answers in Genesis explains, “When we look carefully at Genesis 1, in Hebrew or even in English, it is clear that God created everything in six literal (24-hour) days.”
The belief in six-day creationism is of great importance to Christians for a variety of reasons. Carlson might not grasp them all (though he is a sharp thinker), but here are a few.
One of the primary reasons for the importance of six-day creationism is its impact on the interpretation of the Bible. By accepting a literal reading of the Genesis account, believers uphold the authority and trustworthiness of the Bible as a divine revelation. This belief emphasizes the importance of taking the Bible at its word and accepting the events described within it as historical and factual.
Six-day creationism also has significant implications for understanding God’s nature and character. By creating the universe in six days, God demonstrated His omnipotence, omniscience, and sovereignty over all creation.
Six-day creationism provides a foundation for understanding the relationship between God and humanity. Because humans were created in God’s image, we are unique and distinct from other living creatures. This grounds the inherent value and dignity of human life and the responsibility to care for and steward the Earth. If God didn’t make us, we are no better than the other animals who just happened to evolve in a different biological direction.
Six-day creationism also has implications for understanding the origins of evil and suffering in the world. According to the biblical narrative, we know that the original creation was perfect and without sin, but the fall of humanity introduced sin and its consequences into the world. Through this, we know our need for redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ, who offers hope for the restoration of God’s original design.
If you reject God’s ex nihilo creation, you are left grasping at straws to explain where humans came from and what meaning we might have, if any, in this universe. Pastor and theologian Tom Ascol recently put it well in a post on X:
“‘If we were to look at the Universe one second after the Big Bang, what we would see is a 10-billion degree (° K) sea of neutrons, protons, electrons, anti-electrons (positrons), photons, & neutrinos.’—NASA
The REAL question is: what would you see 1 second BEFORE the Big Bang?”
The answer is nothing, but those who reject the creation account have no plausible way to explain how it is possible, short of God, to get something from nothing — much less something as complex and intricately designed as the universe and the abundant, vibrant life found on earth. Something from nothing? Impossible.
If you ask an atheist to answer the question “Where did human life come from?” you will get a response like this word salad:
“Well, the universe was created by a random flux in the quantumness of nothingness which, over billions of years, led to the formation of a planet perfectly suited to sustain human life. Then, over billions of more years, primordial goo evolved into sentient and complex human beings through a process of millions of mutations. In short, nothing, then bang, then planets, then goo, then fish, and then your grandma. Science totally proves this.”
But when you pose the same question to a Christian who knows and believes the Bible, this is what you should hear: “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
The Big Bang theory and Darwinian evolution are two of the most laughable concepts ever invented and advanced by modern man. We should laugh at such ideas. Which is exactly what Tucker Carlson did.
Because if you believe in these, you are, quite literally, a fool in the biblical sense.
But the good news of the Gospel is that there is hope for fools. And that hope begins with believing the first sentence of the Bible: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
