John Whitcomb

John Whitcomb was an American theologian and biblical scholar, best known for his work in young Earth creationism— the belief that the Earth is thousands, not billions, of years old, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. He co-authored the influential book "The Genesis Flood" in 1961, which helped spark the modern creationist movement. Whitcomb's work emphasized the authority of Scripture and challenged conventional scientific views on evolution and geology, advocating for a literal reading of biblical Genesis. His contributions have impacted debates on science and faith within Christian circles.
