Dr. Jason Lisle

Talk 1: The Ultimate Proof of Creation
Talk 2: Evolution and Logical Fallacies

Date: April 10th, 7:30pm

On Friday, April 10th, RMCF welcomes Dr. Jason Lisle from Answers in Genesis. Jason has been a long time member of RMCF and has spoken here while he was pursuing his Ph.D. at CU in Boulder.

Most practicing astronomers and astrophysicists believe in the big bang, a billions-of-years-old universe and other evolutionary ideas. But based on Scripture and the best interpretation of the scientific evidence, they are simply wrong, according to Dr. Jason Lisle. He is an astrophysicist with a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder, Dr. Lisle is now helping AiG (and the creation movement as a whole) refute the evolutionary account of origins—using his strong science background. He also has designed exciting planetarium programs for the Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky (near Cincinnati, Ohio).

Now residing in Northern Kentucky, Dr. Lisle lives just a few miles from the border of his state of birth, Ohio. He grew up in a Christian home, and because his family believed in the authority and accuracy of the Bible, he had little difficulty in dealing with the evolutionary bombardment he received in school.

At the university level, Jason discovered that an important element in scientific study and the drawing of conclusions was this: that scientists usually are not aware of their presuppositions (i.e. they interpret scientific evidence in light of their existing worldview). It thus made it easier for him to see that intelligent scientists, many who were his professors, can disagree on what the evidence really means, for they have different starting points. So as he read creation materials, he could see that when the evidence was properly interpreted, it always supported the biblical account of creation (even with the thorny question of starlight and time).

In graduate school, Dr. Lisle developed a passion to share the message that God’s Word is true from the very first verse. He began giving talks encouraging people to trust in the Bible and not compromise with the secular ideas of millions of years of evolution. Dr. Lisle has always had a keen interest in science and enjoys reading books on a wide range of scientific topics. Astronomy and physics have been areas of special interest. One of his favorite hobbies is viewing the beautiful night sky through a telescope.

In graduate school, Dr. Lisle specialized in solar astrophysics. His areas of interest in creation studies are in developing models of cosmology and stellar aging. Creationist thinking in these areas is still very preliminary. Jason will be speak twice that Friday evening on two very interesting subjects.

There is no cost to attend this presentation and free refreshments will be served after the meeting. Please return to the website to see description of the two talks he will be doing. Don’t miss a chance to hear and speak to a young earth astronomer as they are very rare indeed.
