On March 11th, 2024 Kevin Lea will speak on: "The Origin of Comets, Asteroids and TNOs' (Trans-Neptunian Objects)."
Kevin Lea is the founding pastor of Calvary Church of Port Orchard, Washington. Following his service in the U.S. Navy and attendance at Calvary Chapel Bible School in Twin Peaks, California, Kevin worked as a nuclear engineering technician at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. While serving actively in his local church, Kevin was ordained as a pastor and started a church plant in Port Orchard, Washington in 1993. After 13 years at the Shipyard, he resigned in 1995 to serve as the church's full-time pastor. Kevin's zeal is to reach the lost with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ and to build up believers through the teaching of the Scriptures, verse by verse. He is also a fervent apologist for a literal six-day creation and global flood and draws on his technical experience and knowledge to equip believers with truth to combat the lies of evolution and the associated false interpretations of scientific evidence. Kevin and his wife, Juanita, have two grown sons, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
On November 12th, 2024 Dr. Kevin Horton spoke on: "Aerial Videographic Evidence for the Genesis Flood"
Dr. Horton holds a bachelor's degree in biology from Dickinson State College (University) in Dickinson, North Dakota. He earned a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa and a Masters of Divinity from Moody Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois.
Dr. Horton practiced veterinary medicine on both large and small animals in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana for 20 years. During the last five years of veterinary practice, he answered God's call to church leadership and began reducing his veterinary practice. Over the years he established two churches in the Valley. He served Crossroads Christian Fellowship of Victor, MT as senior pastor for 21 years. He began full-time as director of IBA in the spring of 2018. Dr. Horton has a passion to see God's Word correctly understood and that begins in Genesis. Many Christians compromise on the clear interpretation of the first 11 chapters (of Genesis) as a result of the apparent contradiction between “science” and the Bible. Dr. Horton has observed that the incompatibility between these two worldviews is not science and the Bible. Rather, he observes that an atheistic philosophy has been ruthlessly forced upon much of modern scientific interpretation leading to a facade that science rules over the Bible. In stark contrast, Dr. Horton desires to show how the vast majority of the scientific data strongly supports a solid biblical worldview with no need to compromise on Biblical interpretation.

July 9th, 2024 at 7:00 PM CST Dr. Rob Carter spoke on "Ancient DNA"
This message can be heard by going to ARCHIVE
Dr Carter was converted to Christ at an early age, but did not know what to do with the theory of evolution. He always knew what he wanted to believe, but had no way to express what he was thinking and no evidence to support his views. In his freshman year of college, he was exposed to the information for creation for the first time and soon after adopted it as his modus operandi. He says he felt a tremendous joy when he realized his science and his religion were no longer at odds. This joy (and, he says, Creation magazine and the Journal of Creation) enabled him to get through the in-depth evolutionary training of his undergraduate and graduate programs with his faith intact.He obtained a BS in Applied Biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1992. He then spent four years teaching high school biology, chemistry, physics and electronics before going to the University of Miami to obtain his PhD in Marine Biology. He successfully completed this program in 2003 with a dissertation on “Cnidarian Fluorescent Proteins.” While in Miami, he studied the genetics of pigmentation in corals and other invertebrates, designed and built an aquaculture facility for Caribbean corals, performed well over 500 SCUBA dives, many of them at night, and licensed a spin-off product of his research (a patented fluorescent protein) to a biotech company.

Dave Nutting, along with his wife, Mary-Jo are Founders and Directors of Alpha Omega Institute. They were college math and science instructors when they first grappled with the problems of evolution and became convinced of the evidence for Creation. Their personal contact with students convinced them of the importance of the issue, not only in science, but in evangelism and Christian growth. Since founding AOI in 1984, they have spoken extensively, giving presentations for churches, universities, camps and tours both in the USA and internationally. Dave spoke at the Forum with the title: "Amazing Creation Designs found in Costa Rica".

On July 11, 2023 at 7:00 PM CST Keaton Halley spoke on: "Meet Your Ancestors: Adam and Eve"
This message can be heard by going to ARCHIVE
Although Keaton was converted to Christ as a young boy, for years he had unanswered questions about why evolution and the evidence he learned in science classes was not consistent with the Bible stories he heard in church. It wasn’t until his senior year of high school that he first heard a creation speaker explain how the geological evidence, dinosaurs, and biological complexity were completely consistent with the Bible’s historical account. To this day, Keaton has dedicated himself to not only get equipped with an in-depth knowledge about the crucial issues of creation, but has used that information to help others get answers for themselves.
After receiving a B.A. in Visual Communications from Judson University, Keaton worked as a Graphic Designer for a major Christian publication. Wanting to be more effective in reaching our culture with the Bible’s truth, Keaton also earned a Master’s degree in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. As a member of a local creation group in his home state of Illinois, Keaton gained valuable experience in communicating the relevance of the Genesis account of creation to the Gospel’s big picture.
As a fully accredited speaker with CMI, Keaton’s passion is to share this life-changing message with others who may be struggling with the same questions that he once had. His easy-to-understand presentations uphold the authority of God’s Word, and will spur on the faith of believers and greatly encourage them to get equipped so that they too can effectively share their faith with others.
