==Creation advocacy==
In 1961, Morris and Dr. [[John C. Whitcomb]] of [[Grace University|Grace College]] published ''[[The Genesis Flood]]'', arguably the most influential book of the modern [[creation science]] movement which gives strong scientific evidence for a young earth and for a real, global flood.<ref name="WaPo"/><ref name="ICR"/><ref name="Linder"/> Even [[Stephen Jay Gould]], who strongly opposed biblical creation, called the book "the founding document of the creationist movement."<ref name="ICR"/>
