I especially disassociate myself from the blasphemous use of a profound Scriptural truth to promote a scientific and political lie.
—John D. Morris[1]

John D. Morris (1946–2023) was a young Earth creationist and president of the Institute for Creation Research from 1996 until 2020.[2] He was the son of the Institute's founder, Henry Morris.

Before he ascended to the throne previously occupied by his father, he was the author of a number of hard-hitting articles published by the Institute, including What Can We Do About the Public Schools?,[3] What is the Connection Between Homosexuality and Evolution? (answer: the homosexual agenda),[4] and Are Plants Alive?.[5][No, not The Onion]

Qualifications

Apparently, he had several degrees:[6][2]

  • B.S., Virginia Tech., Blacksburg, VA, 1969 (Civil Engineering)
  • M.S., University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, 1977
  • Ph.D.. University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, 1980 (Geological Engineering)

Noah's Ark and the Flood

John Morris was very keen on Noah's Ark, having gone on at least 13 expeditions to Mt. Ararat to search for it.[1] All of these were, obviously, failures. Nevertheless, he considered himself an expert on the subject.
