Henry Morris
Henry Morris (1918-2006) was an American hydraulic engineer and a prominent figure in the creationist movement. He is best known for co-founding the Institute for Creation Research and for authoring "The Genesis Flood" in 1961, which argued for a literal interpretation of the Bible regarding the origins of Earth, particularly advocating for a young Earth and global flood. Morris emphasized scientific evidence to support creationism, challenging evolutionary theory. His work has influenced many within the creationist community and sparked ongoing debates between creationism and evolution in educational and scientific contexts.
