Dr. Henry Morris, founder and president emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research and the “father” of the modern creationist movement (especially with The Genesis Flood, which he co-authored in the early 1960s) had in recent days suffered a series of debilitating small strokes, and passed into the presence of his Creator and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday evening (February 25).
Dr. Morris, 87, had been receiving care in a San Diego area convalescent hospital. According to his son, Dr. Henry Morris III (Executive Vice President of the Institute for Creation Research), the elder Dr. Morris “remained cogent and alert up until the last few moments. My brother John (President of ICR), my sister Mary, and my sister Rebecca were with him just prior to his passing.”
In a note emailed late Saturday night to ICR board members and friends of the family, Dr. Morris III shared that “Dad has had a wonderfully full life, much blessed by our Lord, and we are rejoicing and celebrating his ‘well done’ now in the presence of his Lord.”
Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis–USA and co-founder of Answers in Genesis–Australia, wrote to AiG leadership that
Dr. Morris is one of my heroes of the faith. He is the man the Lord raised up as the father of the modern creationist movement. The famous book The Genesis Flood, co-authored by Dr. Morris and Dr. Whitcomb, was the book the Lord used to really launch the modern creationist movement around the world. It was the first major creation book I read, and had a special place, therefore, in the beginnings of the creationist movement in Australia. Our prayers are with the family.
Please pray for the family, the staff of the Institute for Creation Research, and for all those whose lives continue to be changed by the many books and articles authored by this great man of God during his long and productive life.

"autuaammille metsästysmaille."
Kai hänen Herransa nyt näyttää hänelle oikein silmien edessä, että miten se luominen kuudessa päivässä oikein tapahtui.
Sanoisin "Peace",mutta Morris varmasti haluaisi minun toivovan pikemminkin aktiivista uraa taivaassa...
Täytyy toivoa,että Puolimatka täyttää hänen paikkansa,ja toteuttaa loppuun sen Suunnittelijan falsifikaatiokriteerin löytämisen, jotta saamme sen "Jumalan jota luonnontieteet tarvitsevat"...
