The Tenpenny Files with Dr. Jason Lisle

You may have been told that the size of the universe settles the question of God, and that distance itself functions as evidence. You may have heard that billions of light years quietly close the case, and that time alone dissolves Genesis without further discussion.

The scale of the heavens is often presented as final. The age of starlight is often treated as decisive. Over time these claims begin to feel unquestionable, and repetition starts to resemble proof.
Dr. Jason Lisle approaches the cosmos from inside the discipline of astrophysics. He works within the mathematics that describe motion, light, and measurable structure. He explains that science does not operate in a vacuum of neutrality, and that every calculation rests on assumptions about order and reliability.

The conversation moves into Einstein’s treatment of simultaneity and the definition of time. He discusses distant starlight and the way temporal conventions shape interpretation. He points to redshift expectations that once marked theoretical boundaries, and he references observations that extended beyond those limits.

The discussion turns toward extraterrestrial life and the theological structure of redemption. Salvation is traced to Adam, and lineage becomes central to the logic of the gospel. Speculation about life beyond Earth is examined through that framework rather than through science fiction.
Flat Earth claims are addressed through direct experimentation and measurable observation. Verification is emphasized over online assertion. Calculation is presented as something any person can test rather than accept secondhand.

Genesis is treated as historical record rather than poetic metaphor. Marriage, sin, death, and the necessity of Christ’s sacrifice are connected to literal events. The early chapters of Scripture are positioned as structural, not symbolic.

What emerges in this conversation is not a spectacle about stars. It is an examination of the presuppositions that make astronomy possible. The size of the universe remains immense, and the deeper issue concerns the foundation required to interpret it at all.

Meet our Guest:

Dr. Jason Lisle is the founder of the Biblical Science Institute. He is a speaker, author, researcher, and astrophysicist who studies issues pertaining to science and the Christian Faith. He earned his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Colorado and has more than two decades of professional creation ministry experience.

Through the Biblical Science Institute, he works to defend the Christian worldview against claims that the Bible is unscientific, with particular attention to the early chapters of Genesis. His work focuses on demonstrating that science confirms what Scripture teaches and that the narrative of particles-to-people evolution does not account for the order and structure we observe in the universe.

Dr. Jason Lisle continues to partner with biblical creation ministries, including Answers in Genesis, and he resides in Colorado.
