February 11th Speaker,
Dr. Jason Lisle
Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship is privileged to have as our
February speaker, Dr. Jason Lisle from Answers in Genesis. Dr. Lisle
has a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Colorado and a
Bachelor's degree in both the sciences of Physics and Astronomy.
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, AiG-USA’s
newest speaker and researcher. Dr. Lisle is helping AiG (and the
creation movement as a whole) refute the evolutionary account of
origins—using his strong science background. He will also
help design exciting planetarium programs for the future Creation
Museum in Northern Kentucky (near Cincinnati, Ohio). Dr. Lisle is
not the stereotypical ‘egg-head’ research scientist
who has difficulty communicating at a layman’s level. Jason
has been a member of RMCF for numerous years and we welcome him
back.
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.
Jason will be speaking twice that Friday evening. His first talk
will be titled Big Problems with The Big Bang.
After the first talk there will be a short break and then he will
speak again. The title of his second talk will be Distant
Starlight: Not A Problem For A Young Universe. Jason will
present strong evidence that the universe and solar system are thousands
of years old, not billions as described in secular, evolutionary
journals and teaching. Also evidence that stars and the solar system
could not form spontaneously the way evolutionary astronomers propose.
Jason will discuss the distant starlight problem and the strengths
and weakness of various models proposed to solve this problem. Jason
will be available to answer your individual questions after his
talk. Be sure not to miss this challenging presentation, and an
opportunity to meet Jason in person. Please come early and get seated!
There is no cost for this engagement. If you are interested in becoming
a member of RMCF, please call RMCF at 303 525-5500 , see us at the
meeting or send us an email at talk@youngearth.org.
See you there!
