Keaton Halley, Fully Accredited Speaker for CMI
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.

November 14, Andrew Jones, Noah’s Ark Scans Project
Andrew Jones, working with archaeologists used advanced 3D scans to locate a giant shape in the Turkish mountains the proportions of which match the biblical descriptions of Noah's Ark.
The discovery was made in the Durupinar site on Mount Tendurek in eastern Turkey, the area near the location of Mount Ararat – the resting place of Noah's Ark, as described in the Book of Genesis. Jones, also, has led tours to Biblical sites including Mt Sinai in Saudi Arabia, the location of the Red Sea crossing and much more.

Dr. Kevin Horton, Director Institute for Biblical Authority
Topic: "Prescription for a World Gone Mad"
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.
