Podcast host Joe Rogan made headlines this week after passionately affirming his belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ during a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. In a conversation with guest Cody Tucker, Rogan criticized the scientific theory that the universe came from nothing, suggesting that belief in Jesus Christ offers a more rational explanation.
Rogan stated plainly, “There couldn’t be nothing, and then all the sudden everything.” The remarks, unexpected from someone often described as agnostic or skeptical of organized religion, quickly stirred discussion among fans and commentators.
The discussion came during a broader critique of the Big Bang theory. Rogan questioned how something as vast and intricate as the universe could spontaneously generate without any divine source. He argued that the notion of a Creator makes far more logical sense than a random explosion of particles giving rise to life.
Rogan went on to say, “It’s funny because people will be incredulous about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but yet they’re convinced that the entire universe was smaller than the head of a pin, and for no reason that anybody’s adequately explained to me, instantaneously it became everything? I’m sticking with Jesus on that one. Jesus makes more sense.”
Rogan’s comments gained traction among Christian audiences, many of whom praised the podcaster’s open-mindedness toward faith and biblical history. His willingness to consider spiritual reality over scientific materialism resonates with growing concerns about the moral and philosophical void in secular explanations of the universe’s origin.
In a culture where public figures often shy away from Christian affirmations, Rogan’s remarks stand out. His statement that the resurrection “makes more sense” challenges the prevailing narrative in academic and entertainment circles. By elevating the plausibility of Christ’s resurrection above the Big Bang theory, Rogan adds a powerful voice to a conversation long dominated by skepticism.
