2009 Covenant Creation Conference Speakers:
 Don Stoner is a research and development scientist. He has been awarded three U.S. patents and has been involved with the development of the optical disc and the Precision Motion Chiptester. Don was introduced to the controversy surrounding Genesis in the second grade when he came home from school and asked his father why he was taught in Sunday school that the earth was created in six days and in elementary school that it was created over a much greater period of time. Fortunately, answers were available; his grandfather, Peter W. Stoner, was the author of Science Speaks, a best seller on the subject of scientific proof of the inerrancy of prophecy and the Bible. The subject has fascinated Don since - and over the years he has himself become an authority on the subject of creation. He is the author of A New Look at an Old Earth. Don and his wife, Debbie, are homeschooling parents with four daughters and two sons.
Don Stoner will speak on: "The Historical Context of Genesis" and "A New Look at an Old Earth."

 Jeff Vaughn is a research mathmatician in Southern California. He earned his PhD from the University of California. Growing up with young-earth creationism, Jeff first learned there was a debate over creation in the Church from Hugh Ross around 1990. Jeff read a book by J. Marcellus Kik, An Eschatology of Victory, in 1992. This book changed his end-time views. Within a short time, Jeff realized that the two issues of prophecy and creation are related and has dedicated his theological study to developing a common and consistent view of both ends of the Bible. He is co-author of the latest edition of Beyond Creation Science. Jeff and his wife, Karen, have now completed the homeschooling of their five children.
Jeff Vaughn will speak on: "Diplomatic Immunity:Covenant Creation in Context with Genesis Studies."
