Dr. Morris wrote more than 60 other books interweaving science and theology, as well as a graduate textbook, "Applied Hydraulics in Engineering" (1963). His Institute for Creation Research, a hybrid of a ministry and a research organization that grants master's degrees, led to scores more books from like-minded scholars shunned by mainstream academia.
"There were many, many Christian men of science who were deeply suspicious of the claims of uniformitarian evolutionism, but there was no coherence, there was no rallying point," said Dr. Whitcomb, president of his own creationist ministry in Indianapolis. "Henry Morris said, 'Here we are, here's what we stand for, we have a graduate program, we have a research program, we have a library, let's sit down and talk.' "

missplaced priorites rebuke...prayers for the family should be first
Morris was a great contributor to the Creationism debate. I hope that he is relishing every moment now that he is with the Creator.
Wow. Read a really great by Morris. Didn't know he was still around, quite frankly. I'm sure he's having a grand time now!

I may be an idiot, but your post is disrepectful.
What's this here SPELL button do?
Pretty crappy and sanctimonious post.
For my part, I offer prayers for the family.
A person that lives his life with integrity is a person worth honoring.

I debated Henry Morris in 1986 on the subject of the Age of the Earth: Old or Young? The debate subject was actually my suggestion, after being approached by a local creationist activist, since I thought it would be better to narrow the topic of Creation vs. Evolution.
My statement paraphrased from the debate announcement: "Although I am in profound disagreement with the aims of the creationist movement, I recognize their fundamental right to hold and express their opinion."
If I may quote Einstein: "This death is meaningless. To us true believing physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is an illusion, even if a persistent one."
Darwin always wins in the long run.
Not this thread. I've seen the earlier one: Dr. Henry Morris has died.
