One of the dinosaurs of the creationist
movement, John Clement Whitcomb jr. is often credited for co-establishing the
modern young earth creationist and creation science movement with Henry Morris,
in particular in his capacity as co-author of the seminal “The Genesis Flood”,
one of the most thorough and infamous misrepresentations of science currently
in print.
He also coauthored the hardly more accurate “The Moon: Its Creation, Form and
Significance” with Don DeYoung and is currently a speaker for Answers in Genesis,
where his favorite gambit for explaining recalcitrant geological evidence is
Flooddidit.
Diagnosis: This elder unspeakable horror
lairing somewhere in Indianapolis may currently be more or less retired, but is
nevertheless one of the legends of the battle against science, truth and
rationality conducted by the American Taliban.
