It was announced this morning by Whitcomb Ministries Inc that theologian Dr. John Whitcomb, the co-author of The Genesis Flood and a giant in the modern creation movement, died last night. He was 95 years old. His co-author Dr. Henry Morris died in 2006. They are generally considered to be the fathers of modern creationism and young earth creationism.

Their book starts with the premise that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible word of god and so is the true history of the universe. In it Morris assures readers that “evidences of full divine inspiration of Scripture are far weightier than the evidences for any fact of science.”
