John C. Whitcomb

John C. Whitcomb was a Christian theologian and scholar known for his work on biblical history and creation. He co-authored the influential book "The Genesis Flood" in 1961, which challenged traditional interpretations of Earth's history and supported a literal reading of the biblical creation account. Whitcomb's work helped spark the modern young-earth creationist movement, emphasizing that the Bible's account of creation and global flood should be taken as historically and scientifically accurate. His contributions have influenced debates on science, faith, and origins within Christian circles.
