YEC Lisle’s Incoherent Science
I tried to give Jason Lisle the benefit of the doubt when he was boasting about this young earth creation prediction for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). But I have to conclude that he is just lying or at the very least he has convinced himself of that lie. I say this based on a YouTube video of him speaking to a church audience and his 2024 article in ARJ. ARJ is just a young earth creationist website sponsored by Answers in Genesis to promote young earth views. About 21 minutes into this video he is once again bragging about his young earth unscientifically based prediction (his words not mine), about what JWST will find. And ridiculing secular scientists with strawman arguments and misrepresentations.
I pointed out Lisle’s wildly false prediction regarding JWST’s data in my last post. Emboldened by his propaganda tour to churches for his misrepresentation of JWST’s data, he decided to put some science behind his claim. He probably felt he needed to do this because by his own admission, his prediction is a god of the gap prediction. Or more accurately Lisle of the gap prediction. The prediction is based entirely on his misinterpretation of the Bible and no basis on science. As a result, he probably felt that he need to put some reality into his imagination. So, in 2024 he wrote this article Sizes of Galaxies in JWST Data Suggest New Cosmology on the ARJ website. Christian theoretical astrophysicist Luke Barnes[1] has posted a critique of Lisle (2024) on ARJ.
