Duane Gish (b. February 17, 1921) is a prolific debater for Young Earth Creationism and a member of ICR, now well into his 80's and retired.
Gish was viewed as the 'winner' of his debates by friend and foe alike based on audience reaction. Of course the reasons for why this would occur would be different depending which side the of the issue was answering it. So profound was Gish's impact on the debate scene, that sites such as talk.origins actually have articles set up 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." [1]
