| | A strong proponent of [[YEC|Young Earth Creation]], Morris believed the creation account of the Bible was literally true and scientific inquiry would support his assertions. He was a scientist himself, having graduated from Rice University in 1939 and that earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in hydraulic engineering from the University of Minnesota. He was an author of many books against [[evolution]] and supporting creationism. | | A strong proponent of [[YEC|Young Earth Creation]], Morris believed the creation account of the Bible was literally true and scientific inquiry would support his assertions.
