Dr. John Whitcomb

Dr. John Whitcomb co-authored The Genesis Flood with the late Dr. Henry Morris in 1961 and that led to a revival of the modern Creationist movement. Ken Ham found the book in a Christian bookstore in Brisbane, Australia, in 1974. The book has sold over a quarter of a million copies.

You would have to say that the book laid the groundwork for the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky, a world-class full-size reconstruction of Noah's Ark, by which mankind was saved from the catastrophic global flood of Genesis.

Dr. Whitcomb appeared at the Ark Encounter gift shop to autograph copies of his book a couple of weeks ago. He is now 94 years old and lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Ken Ham posted a 15-minute video of the meet and greet book signing on YouTube:

 

I don't know anything about Dr. Walton so if you want to write more.... Actually, I have not read the Whitcomb/Morris book. Dr. Whitcomb taught at Winona Lake, Indiana, but I have never been there either. I was so lucky to have visited Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky. I am a YEC.
