Tucker didn't get this same treatment, instead having to rely on the claim that "his reputation" was such that nobody reasonable would believe him.

There is irony in that these are on the Protestant side when in the early Protestant movement they would reject the creationist argument because they believed in Predestination . Especially the Calvinist movement. This was from Theology that realized over time that if you worshiped an all knowing, present everywhere and all powerful God that God could insure everything thing they wanted to happen at the moment of creation that God would not need to do anything after that point other than direct talk to leaders and have a Son. Predestination in part what got the Catholic Church to switch sides to the Evolution side after the evidence for Evolution became overwhelming. That evolution is how god expressed god's will in the area. Note under Predestination God can hear prayer and answer it at the moment of creation no need to modify things currently. Here is God is not limited by time a logical theologic thought. Predestination fell out of favor over time as it meant your dammed to hell or to heaven when the Universe was created you don't actually have a choice it a very anti free will doctrine. Of course you were still expected to pray and follow all the teachings it just that what seamed to be a free will choice on your part to do so or not was illusionary.

I actually find it really annoying when the interviewer constantly interrupts the guest and derails the conversation. It's actually pretty entertaining listening to people say the most insane shit, to be honest. Lex Fridman also has this interview style. Even when his guests are saying some blatantly ridiculous things he just calmly keeps asking them about it while trying to maintain a straight face. Much prefer that to them randomly debating them then and there. Imagine all the funny quotes we would be deprived of.

By putting them on the same stage as some of the legitimate professionals he has on the podcast, it gives them an unwarranted air of legitimacy. Now, while people SHOULD be able to distinguish between the two, not everyone will, and for a lot of these hacks it empowers them to spread their quackery to the masses even more when they can say "hey look guys, Joe had me on his podcast! *insert educated individual* was also on the podcast, so my ideas must be real!!".

You could chalk this up to how the round earth is just way more intuitive to explain and understand.

I’ve really had this on my mind every time people say it’s “just a theory”, is what they think a theory is closer to what a hypothesis actually is?

Yes, they think a scientific theory is what scientists actually call a hypothesis. A scientific theory is an explanation that corroborates lots of data by the scientific method. A well-established theory is when there is so much evidence that enough of the entire field agrees that it is the best explanation of what is really going on. A hypothesis is a potential explanation that doesn't yet have enough corroboration to call it a theory. Evolution by natural selection is a very well-established theory. People who make this mistake give themselves away as scientifically illiterate.

[@stavrosrahnos6071]

Yeah, pretty much. A lot of people have the "I have a theory as to how this works" and the scientific "theory of evolution" mixed up all the time. A theory is just an idea to some people or it's derived from the classic "in theory" expression so then when they hear the word theory, they think "oh evolution exists in theory".

[@pavel9652]

Colloquially, theory means either substantiated or unsubstantiated speculation. It is unfortunate it means something completely different in science, and people aren't familiar with science. Tools would always find a way, thought. Every day the universe creates a better tool ;)

My first thoughts when Tucker blurted out that evolution was still a theory, was pointing him at your "Why you should never say 'It is just a theory'" video.

[@bretttrommler756]

Have you ever actually looked at the “theory” of evolution? If you put creation and evolution side by side and looked at both with a totally objective mind, creation is far more believable than evolution.

[@bretttrommler756]

@@arcioko2142 not always. Science says that everything was created from nothing, I.e. the Big Bang. What’s more believable; “nothing” suddenly exploded and became everything… or a supreme being created everything we see?

​@@bretttrommler756 Yeah sure, I can take an objective look at the Genesis account of creation. Hmm, I see there's a contradiction in Genesis 1:2 about the Earth existing before the Sun, in contradiction with the astronomical theory of star and protoplanetary formation. I'm reading a passage in 1:6 about the sky forming from the ocean, contradicting atmospheric geophysics and Genesis 1:2 where the water has a surface? I'm reading a thermodynamic paradox in Genesis 1:11 about liquid water existing without a source of heat, at below freezing point? Now I'm reading a contradiction in Genesis 1:11 to the basic biology about plants functioning without sunlight? Now I'm reading in Genesis 1:12 about fruit trees functioning without animals present, which contradicting angiosperm botany? How many contradictions are in this creation story? Oh and what's this on the next page, in Genesis 2? A different account of the same event but with a contradictory order to the events of Genesis 1? Two accounts of creation in the bible that contradict each other!? An objective mind should have no trouble dismissing a creation story filled with contradictory and self-contradictory statements as false. But just in case you have to be spoonfed your epistemology through bible verses (it's Matthew 23:28 btw), rather than understand the Aristotleian laws of thought, here's what the laws of thought say about contradictions. The law of noncontradiction states that contradictory accounts cannot be true at the same time in the same sense. At least one of the accounts must be wrong. Now let's look at evolution with an objective mind, a concept that requires just one more ingredient after you have accepted adaptation occurs like Comrade Tucker did in this video. One ingredient only - and that is time. Once you have adaptation and once you have time, evolution via genetic variability, is inevitable. Didn't even need to bring in natural selection (not that it doesn't occur), and we now have an explanation for the common descent of species, the appearance of transitional species, mass extinction events, the appearance of phenotypes, and an accepted theory that doesn't have to contradict the laws of physics or chemistry or biology or geology or history. So what evidence do we find that the Earth is more than 6000 years old? An objective mind sees that evidence in the stars & the years that light takes to reach us. That mind sees it in the solar system and the age of meteorites and the planetary craters, sees it in archaeology in the caves of Lascaux. That objective mind sees evidence in nuclear physics with the half life of uranium-238 or carbon-14 or potassium-40, in hydrocarbon exploration, in geological rock formation, in the African savanna, in the comparative anatomy of animals, in the directly observed domestication of the banana and tomato. So does my openly objective mind, accept the epistemologically sound evolutionary theory of life more than the contradiction-filled Genesis story and contradicts not just science, but also archeology, geography, history, logic and itself? My mind chooses the more parsimonious explanation. It was 17 contradictions I counted in the Genesis account of creation.

Well of course he knows he is lying, how else is he going to deny the mountain of empirical evidence. Plus it works. We have seen time and time again that no matter how incorrect someone is, if they say something ridiculous it will ultimately benefit them because of the publicity it generates.
