Biography:
Much of ICR’s research is done outside the walls of its San Diego-area
facility. This is certainly the case with the work conducted by Dr. John
Morris, whose field explorations at Mt. Ararat, the Grand Canyon, Mount St.
Helens, the Paluxy River, and other
sites attest. In particular, Dr. Morris’s expeditions to Mt. Ararat in search of Noah’s Ark have given ICR wide international
exposure. Much of Dr. Morris’
s research is now shared with
“Back to Genesis” audiences around
the country. He also teaches geology
in the ICR Graduate School.
Before coming to ICR on a full-time basis in 1984, Dr. Morris served as an
Assistant Professor in Geological
Engineering at the University of Oklahoma,
where he had received his Ph.D.
in 1980. He had received his B.S. from Virginia Tech in 1969.
Among his most recent books are
Noah’s Ark and the Lost World, Science,
Scripture and the Young Earth,
coauthored with his father, ICR
President Dr. Henry M. Morris, and
the newly released children’s book
entitled What Really Happened to the
Dinosaurs?, coauthored by Ken
Ham.
Dr. Morris is also well known as a debater, is a frequent guest on nationwide
television and radio programs,
and is coeditor of Acts &
Facts and Days of Praise.
