Research Projects
Innovative Insights
Our research projects are focused on exploring groundbreaking insights at the intersection of faith, science, and reason. Through careful investigation, rigorous analysis, and scholarly work, we aim to uncover new perspectives that affirm biblical truth while contributing to broader scientific understanding and discourse.
Support Our Research in Creation Science
Logos Research Associates facilitates the formation of teams of scientific experts and the funding of innovative scientific research that is not being conducted anywhere else. We are also committed to sharing the result of these research projects through our video broadcasts and the outreach of our Associates and Ambassadors.
LogosRA provides a unique opportunity to directly donate to projects that believers understand to be important to the advancement of creation science research and to further the Kingdom of God. Donating directly to projects helps close the funding gap of existing projects or provides initiation of additional research in newly discovered areas. Creation scientists typically don’t receive conventional grants, and it can be difficult for these scientists to get their research funded.
When you give a tax-deductible gift to LogosRA, you directly support the advancement of creation science. Every gift makes a difference. Explore our current research project summaries below and donate now to your favorite!
Besides donating securely online or by mailing a check to the address below, gifts of stocks, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) from traditional IRAs, Donor-Advised Funds or adding LogosRA to your will are tax-savvy ways to support our mission. Need more information? Email us at Contact Us.
James Webb Telescope Discoveries | Dr. Jason Lisle
Dr. Jason Lisle (PhD. in Astrophysics)
Dr. Jason Lisle is a Christian astrophysicist who researches issues pertaining to science and the Christian Faith. A popular speaker and author, Dr. Lisle presents a rational defense of a literal Genesis, showing how science confirms the history recorded in the Bible. Brought up in a Christian family, at a young age he received Christ as Lord. Since then Lisle has always desired to serve the Lord out of love and gratitude for salvation, and to spread the Gospel message to all people. Dr. Lisle double-majored in physics and astronomy with a minor in mathematics at Ohio Wesleyan University. He then went on to obtain a Master’s degree and Ph.D. in astrophysics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There, he used the SOHO spacecraft to analyze the surface of the sun, and made a number of interesting discoveries, including the detection of giant cell boundaries. Since then, Lisle has worked in full-time apologetics ministry. He wrote a number of planetarium shows for the Creation Museum, including the popular “Created Cosmos.” Dr. Lisle has authored a number of best-selling books on the topic of creation, including: Taking Back Astronomy, Stargazer’s Guide to the Night Sky, the Ultimate Proof of Creation, Discerning Truth, and Understanding Genesis. https://biblicalscienceinstitute.com/dr-lisle/
Pre Flood and Post Flood Boundary Investigations
The pre-flood and post-flood boundaries are an important topic for a variety of reasons such as an accurate flood chronology, post-flood environments for humans and animals recolonizing the world, and post-flood animal diversification. Generally, creation scientists believe the post-flood boundary is either near the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) or the Neogene/Quaternary (N/Q) boundaries. Our research team members bring expertise in K/Pg and N/Q post-flood boundary interpretations, boundary criteria, geomorphology, catastrophic plate tectonics and biostratigraphy. These research projects will overlay different data sets and attempt to resolve the conflicts through field/office research and move the many different interpretations toward a more comprehensive consensus of the flood boundaries.
Sandstone Depositional Environments In The Western United States
Significant geologic work has been accomplished on the cross-bedded Coconino Sandstone that compiles data for the marine origin rather than the aeolian origin of this formation. This data includes outcrop observations, microscopic thin section study (presence of mica, angular K-feldspars, dolomite, angular sand grains, and poor sorting), paleocurrent directions, paleontology, zircon crystal provenance, parabolic recumbent folds, and cross bed angles. Additionally, hydraulic flume experiments in the laboratory have studied the development of sand bedforms. This project will focus on similar field, laboratory and office research studies for other cross-bedded sandstones in the Western US and expand our understanding of their depositional environments.
