Tucker Carlson thinks nuclear technology was created by demons
- Thread starter Ransom
- Start date
Tucker’s quote: “Nuclear weapons are demonic, there’s no upside to them at all, and anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant or doing the bidding of the forces that created nuclear technology in the first place, which were not human forces obviously.”
The second half of his quote might draw some laughter and skepticism, but would you disagree with the first part? I certainly don’t.

Nukes as a deterrent is certainly an upside to defense against the likes of Kim Jong Un.

I could agree with "Nuclear weapons are demonic," etc. up to the point that I found out he meant literal demons, and he's not saying they're just really evil. At that point, the second half discredits the first.

Dialogue from the 1951 movie "The Thing From Another World" - the characters are debating whether or not to destroy the monstrous alien creature in a UFO that landed in Alaska, played by James Arness, before he can kill them all:
James Arness as The Thing From Another World
- Dr. Arthur Carrington: You're doing more than breaking army orders. You're robbing science of the greatest secrets that ever come to it.
- Hendry: You'd better go back, Doctor.
- Dr. Arthur Carrington: Knowledge is more important than life, Captain. We've only one excuse for existing - to think, to find out, to learn.
- Ned "Scotty" Scott: What can we learn from that thing except a quicker way to die?
- Dr. Arthur Carrington: It doesn't matter what happens to us. Nothing counts except for our thinking. We thought our way into nature. We split the atom.
- Eddie: Yes, and that sure made the world happy, didn't it?
James Arness as The Thing From Another World
Not sure I agree with Tucker on this point, but all the ridicule seems to be based on a disbelief in demonic influence in the affairs of man.
Do you believe that eating a fruit opened the eyes of Adam and Eve? Who told them it would?

The ridicule is based on Demons gave nuclear physics to humans being ridiculous.
What if I do and what if I don't? One has nothing to do with the other.
You're welcome to your own arbitrary assumptions, I guess.
LOL. It has everything to do with it, unless you think the physical sciences are somehow off limits to Satan.
One thing you can be sure of is that Satan wants to kill and destroy, and any influence works toward that end.
What Tucker said is perfectly natural. It's unbelief that finds it ridiculous.

Nothing arbitrary about it. You and your library card could probably get a pretty good overview of the development of nuclear physics in a few minutes.
Wrong. If I believe there's demonic influence over here, I'm not obliged to believe there's also demonic influence over there--any more than belief in Jesus's miracles obliges me to believe in neo-Pentecostal charlatanism.
Trumpeting your piety isn't a fig leaf for your credulity.

All tuckered out - seems to me that Tucker is damaging his credibility in a number of ways, not only with his remarks about the demonic origin of nuclear technology, but now by his publishing a book by Russell Brand. The book is getting a lot of really bad reviews, and I don't think this galoot is a reputable spokesman for Christianity, but I guess Tucker does.

Not all towers spring from the same root as did the Tower of Babel.
Besides, who had existential misgivings about the repeating rifles?
And naturalistic explanations are no rebuttal. Satan is very much active in the affairs of mankind. He savors the things that be of man.
It's not ridiculous at all to suspect that he had a hand in some of the insights that made the atomic bomb possible...unless one is predisposed to disbelieve such things.

It is ridiculous to assert (without proof, as Carlson does) that the U.S. government worked with supernatural forces to create nuclear technology. H,e is not merely saying the technology is "demonic" as in profoundly evil; he outright states he believes it was given by demons to the government.
Carlson is ridiculous.
And if you lend credence to his wild-eyed assertions, you are equally ridiculous.
Disavowing belief in demonic influence in one place doesn't mean I disbelieve in demons. It does mean you are a worthy object of ridicule.

Tucker cannot be wrong because he, like you, hates Jooooooos.
Everyone knows it was Netanyahu who tempted Adam in the garden..
