Henry M. Morris
Henry Madison Morris (October 6, 1918 – February 25, 2006) was an American young earth creationist and Christian apologist. He was one of the founders of the Creation Research Society and the Institute for Creation Research. He is considered by many to be "the father of modern creation science." He wrote numerous creationist and devotional books, and made regular television and radio appearances.[not verified in body] He supported his religious beliefs in the inerrancy of the Bible by opposing facts and scientific results he saw as being contrary to it, especially such facts as the billions of years time-scales involved in measurements of evolution, the age of the Earth, and the age of the Universe. Morris's influential approach, while adopted widely by the modern creationist movement, continues to be roundly rejected by the scientific community, and also by some other creationists.
