Biography
Dr. Duane Gish is
a man who, in addition to his accomplishments as a speaker and writer, is known
by many as the foremost creationist debater in the world today. He has logged
literally hundreds of thousands of miles in order to bring the truth of creation
to adults and children alike. Dr. Gish's travels have taken him to virtually
every state in the continental U.S. and into 25 foreign countries, including
the Soviet Union.
His book, Dinosaurs: Those Terrible
Lizards, was published when there was very little creationist literature available
for children. Evolution: The Challenge of the Fossil Record is the book God
has used in the lives of many to lay aside, once and for all, the fallacious
ape-man theory.He has held key positions at Berkeley, Cornell University Medical College, and The Upjohn Company, where he collaborated with former Nobel Prize winners in various projects. His interest in the creation/evolution issue grew until, in 1971, he left The Upjohn Company to join the faculty at the newly established (1970) Christian Heritage College and its research division. In 1972, the latter changed its name to the Institute for Creation Research, and Dr. Gish has served as Associate Director and Vice President since that time.
Dr. Gish is not only a distinguished scientist, but also a gracious Christian gentleman.
