2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.

—John D. Morris[1]

John D. Morris (1946–2023) was a young Earth creationist and president of the Institute for Creation Research from 1996 until 2020.[2] He was the son of the Institute's founder, Henry Morris.

Before he ascended to the throne previously occupied by his father, he was the author of a number of hard-hitting articles published by the Institute, including What Can We Do About the Public Schools?,[3] What is the Connection Between Homosexuality and Evolution? (answer: the homosexual agenda),[4] and Are Plants Alive?.[5][No, not The Onion]

Qualifications[edit]

Apparently, he had several degrees:[6][2]

  • B.S., Virginia Tech., Blacksburg, VA, 1969 (Civil Engineering)
  • M.S., University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, 1977
  • Ph.D.. University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, 1980 (Geological EngineeringWikipedia)

Noah's Ark and the Flood[edit]

John Morris was very keen on Noah's Ark, having gone on at least 13 expeditions to Mt. Ararat to search for it.[1] All of these were, obviously, failures. Nevertheless, he considered himself an expert on the subject.
