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."

1983 and went on to graduate from Wright State University of Medicine
in 1987. Since 1991 Mickey has served his community in private

 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."

Tim currently operates a small business in SW Montana and serves in congregational ministry in his local congregation, Covenant Community
