Bible Talk with Answers in Genesis

A weekend with leading Christian scientists and educators, examining real fossils, and asking serious questions about origins, design, geology, & the trustworthiness of Scripture. Invite a friend, student, neighbor, or family member.

Featured Speakers

Ken Ham

Ken Ham is the Founder CEO of Answers in Genesis and its two popular attractions: the acclaimed Creation Museum and the internationally known Ark Encounter, which features a life-size 510-foot-long Noah’s Ark—sometimes described as the “8th Wonder of the Modern World.” Each year, the two attractions host over 1.5 million guests.

A much-in-demand Christian speaker and interview guest, Ham became well known throughout America for his 2014 evolution/creation debate with Bill Nye, TV’s “The Science Guy.”

Ham hosts the daily radio program Answers, now on 1,000 stations. He’s also the founder of the award-winning Answers magazine. In 2020, Ham launched Answers TV, an ambitious streaming service. His website of AnswersInGenesis.org has twice won the top award from the National Religious Broadcasters for best website.

A prolific blogger and author of more than 30 books, Ham’s newest releases are Divided Nation (about today’s culture wars) and the devotional commentary Creation to Babel, as well at Divine Dilemma (understanding death, disease, and suffering in light of the Bible’s teaching that our Creator God is loving)

Ken and his wife Mally have 5 children and 18 grandchildren, 2 greatgrandchildren, and reside in Northern Kentucky.

John Baumgardner

John is currently research professor emeritus in Liberty University’s School of Engineering. He has a Ph.D. in geophysics from UCLA. Between 1984 and 2004 he worked as a computational physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since the 1980’s he has published extensively on catastrophic plate tectonics as one of the primary physical mechanisms of the Genesis Flood.  Between 1997 and 2005 he was part of the Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth team that identified the reason why radioisotope methods so consistently give vastly exaggerated ages for the earth’s igneous rocks, many millions or even billions of years, instead of a few thousand as the Bible reveals. More recently he has developed software to simulate the erosion, sediment transport, and deposition produced by giant tsunamis during the Genesis Flood as the explanation of the layered, fossil-bearing sediment sequences that today blanket the continents. He resides just outside of Lynchburg with his wife Mary.

Mark Horstemeyer

Dr. Mark Horstemeyer is Dean Emeritus and Distinguished Professor at Liberty University. Dr. Horstemeyer also has 40 years of experience at Owens Corning Fiberglas, Sandia National Labs, and Mississippi State University. Mark is a fellow in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, American Society of Metals, Society of Automotive Engineers, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has published over 600 journal articles, conference papers, books, and technical reports with a citation impact h-factor of over 80 with over 23,000 total citations; he has been invited to give over 150 lectures throughout the world and has mentored over 200 graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. He earned his BS degree at West Virginia University, his MS degree at Ohio State University, and his PhD at Georgia Tech.

Stuart Burgess

Professor Stuart Burgess has held academic positions at Bristol University and Cambridge University in the UK and Liberty University in the USA. He has published over 200 scientific articles on the science of design in engineering and biology and been editor of two international bioengineering journals. He was the lead designer of the chain-drive for the British Olympic Cycling Team for the Rio, Tokyo and Paris Olympics and presented this work at the Royal Society in London. He has invented several mechanical devices including a spacecraft gearbox which is now used on the world’s largest earth observation satellites. He has received over 10 national awards for his work including the prestigious James Clayton Prize (2019) which is given annually for the most distinguished contribution to mechanical engineering science in the UK.

James Moseley

Dr. James Moseley is a biblical historian, author, and creator of Chronos, a relational SQL research database for reconstructing and testing biblical chronology. He is the author of Just in Time: The Systematic Biblical Chronology from Adam to the Apostolic Age and numerous other books on biblical history and theology. His research has produced the Systematic Biblical Chronology (SBC), a comprehensive, testable, and falsifiable chronology that aligns every temporal datum in Scripture with historical and astronomical evidence and across seven chronological coordinate systems. He teaches “The Bible History Journey” at Thomas Road Baptist Church and appears weekly on American Sunrise on Real America’s Voice as “The Bible History Guy.”

Richard Overman

Dr. Richard Overman, born in 1957, has a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, a Master of Science in Science Education, and a Doctorate in Biblical Studies. Rich has over 40 years of engineering experience. In 1992, he and Ginger accepted a call by God into a creation ministry. This led to the formation of Creation Education Resources in 1994 where he is a researcher, lecturer, teacher, and President. Rich has spoken to numerous churches, Home School Groups, technical conferences, and the International Conference on Creationism. Rich has also published articles in technical journals and magazines about engineering, creation science, and other topics. Finally, he is the author of the book, “Reliability Centered Asset Management”.
