Duane Gish (b. February 17, 1921), now well into his 80's and retired, has been a prolific debater for Young Earth Creationism and a member of ICR.
Gish was viewed as the winner of his debates by friend and foe alike based on audience reaction.[1] So profound was Gish's impact on the debate scene, that evolutionary websites posted articles stating not how to debate Creationists in general, but instead how to specifically debate Duane Gish. Dr. Henry Morris wrote of Dr. Gish, who had over 300 formal debates, "at least in our judgment and that of most in the audiences, he always wins." [2]
