Morris, Henry Madison, Jr.
▪ 2007

      American scientist (b. Oct. 6, 1918, Dallas, Texas—d. Feb. 25, 2006, Santee, Calif.), was credited as one of the founders of the creation science movement, which held that the Bible was a literal and accurate explanation of the creation of Earth. Morris, a hydraulic engineer, and theologian John C. Whitcomb wrote The Genesis Flood (1961), which became the most influential book on creationism. In 1970 Morris founded the Institute for Creation Research and the Christian Heritage College (now the San Diego Christian College). He published more than 60 books advocating creationism.
