Rob Webb earned his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2011. Shortly afterwards, he and his wife moved to Colorado to start his career with an aerospace company while working on his graduate degree. In 2014, Rob received an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering with a concentration in Astrodynamics and Satellite Navigation from the University of Colorado–Boulder.

As a Christian, particularly a Young Earth Creationist (YEC), working in the secular rocket science (i.e., aerospace) field, he has experienced what many modern-day believers have—engaging in a workplace with beliefs counter to the wisdom and science of this world.

Rob worked in the Guidance, Navigation, & Control (GNC) department for several different interplanetary programs for NASA. This included designing and operating the GNC systems that sent satellites/rovers to Mars (MAVEN/InSight missions), Jupiter (Juno mission), and on asteroid exploration missions (such as OSIRIS-REx). Rob was the lead navigation engineer for various NASA programs, including the Parker Solar Probe mission (first mission to “touch” the sun) and the International Space Station (ISS) commercial resupply missions.

There have been many challenges (John 15:18) in Rob’s aerospace career as a Christian YEC. He had tensions regarding the primary “goals” of the NASA missions on which he worked that usually involved some sort of secular evolutionary agenda. This included the “search for alien life” (part of the imaginary field of “astrobiology”) and the search for better “understanding” of the origin and evolution of our solar system, which is antithetical to the plain reading of Genesis.

Rob saw his Christian colleagues fall into the “trap” of twisting (reinterpreting) God’s infallible Word in order to fit man’s ideas (e.g., evolution, millions of years, etc.) into the text, thus compromising the authority of Scripture as a result. This ultimately further allowed humanistic concepts (i.e., elevating man’s thoughts at the ultimate standard) to plague the science industry, especially the bride of Christ—his church, within our culture today.

Folks in the rocket business today leave the Bible out of their thinking and continue to rely on any form of (human) wisdom other than the biblical truth (Romans 1:18–20). As a result, many continue to depend on “science” to answer the fundamental questions in life, like “Where did we come from?” “Who are we?” and “Why are we here?” which ultimately leads to bleak hopelessness. But the good news is that there is hope, and it’s found in Christ alone.

Rob is passionate about the need for more followers of Christ, who unashamedly stand on the authority of Scripture, to take back the aerospace industry (as well as every other industry in the world), all to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Rob sees that, especially as Christians, we need to get back to God’s Word as the foundation for all wisdom and knowledge (Proverbs 1:7). All aspects of wisdom and knowledge are only found in Christ, who never changes (Hebrews 13:8), and promises to uphold everything by the word of his power (Hebrews 1:3).

Signature Talks

Creation vs. Evolution: Why It Matters:
Many people assume the creation-evolution debate is simply about science, but the real issue is authority. Genesis lays the foundation for every Christian doctrine—including sin, death, redemption, and the gospel itself. This presentation explains why Christians cannot mix the Bible with secular ideas like evolution and millions of years without undermining the message of salvation. Discover why the truth of Genesis matters for understanding the entire Bible.

Rockets, Aliens, and the Bible:
Are we alone in the universe? Should Christians believe in aliens, and why are scientists searching so intensely for life beyond Earth? This presentation explores these questions through the lens of Scripture, examines humanity’s fascination with extraterrestrial life, and shows how the Bible provides clear answers about our place in God’s creation.

Rocket Science Confirms the Bible:
Many of the pioneers of modern rocket science were committed Christians who saw their work as exploring God’s creation. This presentation explores the surprising history of rocket science—and the worldview that made it possible—explaining how the Christian understanding of a rational Creator laid the foundation for scientific discovery and technological advancement. Far from contradicting the Bible, the history of space exploration points back to it.

“Science vs. the Bible”: Why the Debate?:
Is science really in conflict with the Bible? In reality, the very foundation of science depends on principles that flow from a biblical worldview—such as order, logic, and the regular uniformity of nature. This presentation explores why the conflict between “science and faith” is largely a modern myth and why atheism actually undermines the basis for scientific investigation. Discover how the Christian worldview provides the true foundation for science itself.

Is the Big Bang Biblical or a Bust?:
Did God use the Big Bang to create the universe, or does it contradict the Bible? This presentation examines the origins debate from both a biblical and scientific perspective, exploring what Scripture teaches about creation and how modern discoveries—including observations from the James Webb Space Telescope—fit into the discussion. Learn why the evidence points not to an evolved universe, but to a created one.

Rooting the Gospel in Genesis: Reaching a Secularized Culture:
Today’s culture increasingly rejects biblical authority, making evangelism more challenging than ever. This presentation explains why the message of salvation must be rooted in the history recorded in Genesis. When the foundation of creation, sin, and death is lost, the gospel message itself becomes confusing or meaningless. Learn how restoring Genesis as the foundation of the gospel can help Christians effectively reach a secularized world.

Defending Life In A Culture of Death:
Why does modern culture increasingly celebrate practices that destroy human life? From abortion to euthanasia, today’s “culture of death” flows from a worldview that rejects God’s authority over life. This presentation examines what Scripture teaches about the value of human life and answers common objections raised by our culture. Discover how Christians can boldly defend life and help build a true culture of life grounded in God’s Word.

Presuppositional Apologetics: What It Is And Why It Matters:
Every worldview begins with foundational assumptions—or presuppositions—about truth, knowledge, and reality. This presentation introduces presuppositional apologetics and explains why it is a powerful and biblically faithful approach to defending the Christian faith. Rather than placing God’s Word on trial, this method shows that the Bible provides the only foundation for logic, morality, and knowledge itself. Learn why starting with Scripture is essential for effective apologetics.

Trick or Truth? A Biblical Look At Halloween:
Where did Halloween come from, and how should Christians think about it? This presentation explores the historical roots of Halloween and the beliefs and traditions associated with it. By examining the topic through a biblical lens, Christians can discern truth from myth and respond with wisdom and conviction. Learn how believers can think carefully and biblically about one of culture’s most widely celebrated holidays.
