Listeners of Joe Rogan on social media are stunned by the CIA’s recently declassified theory on how the world is predicted to end.
A controversial theory about the end of the world, shared on The Joe Rogan Experience, has sparked widespread debate.
The theory, based on the 1965 book The Adam and Eve Story by Chan Thomas, was recently declassified by the CIA. Despite its popularity on social media, experts and watchdog groups have debunked it as baseless misinformation.
The ‘adam and eve’ theory gains traction
Jimmy Corsetti, a guest on Joe Rogan’s January 18, 2023, podcast, introduced listeners to the theory. He claimed Earth undergoes catastrophic cycles every 6,500 years, involving a sudden planetary flip.
According to Corsetti, this flip would cause extreme conditions.
Winds could reach speeds of 1,000 miles per hour, while the sun would appear stationary, leading to unprecedented heating.
The theory has since gone viral, amassing millions of views on platforms like TikTok.
Experts dismiss the theory as unfounded
Media Matters for America, a nonprofit watchdog, flagged the theory as misleading and scientifically inaccurate.
Martin Mlynczak, a senior research scientist at NASA Langley Research Center, debunked the claims.
“The amount of energy needed for this is enormous, and there’s no mechanism to trigger it,” Mlynczak explained.
He also dismissed the idea of 1,000-mile-per-hour winds, pointing out that such speeds surpass supersonic levels and are scientifically implausible.
Additionally, NASA confirmed no evidence exists of Earth’s climate being significantly impacted by past magnetic field shifts, refuting a key aspect of the theory.
How the theory misrepresents climate change
The Adam and Eve Story has been linked to alternative explanations for climate change. Media Matters highlighted how such narratives divert blame from fossil fuel use to natural planetary cycles.
“There is overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels,” Media Matters emphasized.
Shifting the focus away from human activity undermines efforts to address the real causes of climate change.
Social media skepticism and reactions
While the theory gained traction online, many commenters expressed skepticism. One person sarcastically remarked, “This man put two and two together and got 4,376,241.”
Another questioned the timeline, pointing out the inconsistency of the 6,500-year cycles with Earth’s history.
One person said: If Alex Jones and Logan Paul had a lovechild- this is Rogan’s brain.
A second wrote: That book that explains the end of the earth was written many many years ago and in the Bible, look up the last chapter.
While a third commented: I think Rogen listeners are baffled by a lot of things in the world
Another added: Just tell me how much time I have. I need to know if I should keep paying these student loans or not.
Someone else said: Incorrect information the world will end when I have a baby
The viral ‘Adam and Eve’ theory, popularized on Joe Rogan’s podcast, highlights the dangers of misinformation in a digital age.
Experts have thoroughly debunked the claims, emphasizing the importance of scientific consensus on issues like climate change.
While engaging with intriguing ideas is natural, critical thinking and credible sources remain vital in navigating such debates.
