Duane Gish

Who was Duane Gish?

Duane Tolbert Gish was an American biochemist and a prominent member of the creationist movement. Gish was a former vice-president of the Institute for Creation Research and the author of numerous publications about creation science. Gish was called "creationism's T.H. Huxley" for the way he "relished the confrontations" of formal debates with prominent evolutionary biologists, usually held on university campuses." A creationist publication noted in his obituary that "it was perhaps his personal presentation that carried the day. In short, the audiences liked him."
