"The reason that Genesis 1 has been understood as material for so long is because our world has been so entrenched in a material ontology that it cannot think that there is even another possibility." - Dr. John H Walton

 
 


"Theologians sometimes use 'Old Covenant' to refer to the Mosaic covenant. There is truth to this in that the Mosaic covenant published most fully the distinctive character of the Adamic covenant under curse. Yet, ultimately, the Old Covenant is the covenant of the original garden of Eden. Ultimately there are two covenants, Old and New. There are two Adams, Adam and Jesus. There are two heavens and earth, the first in Adam and the second in Christ."

James B. Jordan, Through New Eyes (1988), p. 311.

2009 Covenant Creation Conference Speakers:
 
Don_Stoner.jpgDon 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."
