Young-earthism, Ken Ham, the ICR, and “Dr.” Morris all damage the cause of Christ. Most of what they have written is demonstrably false. “The truth will set you free.” My God is big enough to wait out the Colorado river.
I really don’t think so.
The sedimentary layers that are many meters thick and that persist for hundreds of miles in four compass directions (with no erosion damage between layers) are a powerful testament to the validity of a literal worldwide flood.
Just FYI, I am 100% in agreement with the idea of a recent worldwide deluge, and about 95-99% in agreement with a young earth theory.
“2Pe 3:5-6
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.”

Since you question the “Dr.” in front of Henry Morris’s name..... (This is the elder Morris.)
Dr. Henry Morris bio from Wiki:
Morris grew up in Texas in the 1920s and 1930s. He graduated from Rice University with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 1939.
He married Mary Louise on January 24, 1940, and they later had six children. After his graduation in 1939, and through 1942, he was a hydraulic engineer working with the International Boundary and Water Commission.
He returned to Rice, teaching civil engineering from 1942 until 1946. In 1946 he wrote a short book entitled That You Might Believe (1946). From 1946 through 1951, he studied at the University of Minnesota, where he was awarded a master’s degree in hydraulics (1948) and a Ph.D. in hydraulic engineering (1950).
In 1951 he became a professor and chair of civil engineering at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
He then served as a professor of applied science at Southern Illinois University, 1956—1957, and subsequently as professor of hydraulic engineering and in civil engineering at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), again serving as the department chair.
In 1963 Morris and nine others founded the Creation Research Society. After a dispute with the administration of the university[citation needed], Morris resigned from his position at Virginia Tech in 1969.
In 1970, he co-founded the Christian Heritage College in Santee, California which spawned Institute for Creation Research (ICR) in 1972.
