  Duane Gish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duane Tolbert Gish (born February 17, 1921) is an American young earth creationist and biochemist who is best known as vice-president of the Institute for Creation Research.
Gish, a twin, was born in White City, Kansas, the youngest of nine children.
Gish attempted to deflect the argument by contrasting the testability of electricity with the untestability of evolution, and the audience was also not impressed by Plimer's trick for the same reason.

Duane Gish and Creationism at Rutgers: Trott Critiques Gish
Gish is the vice president of the Institute for Creation Research and was touted in fliers for the event as "one of the world's leading experts on Scientific Creationism." The oxymoron "scientific creationism" aside, if Gish is "one of the world's leading experts," evolutionary scientists have nothing to fear from science.
Gish showed either incredible ignorance or a stunning lack of integrity when he stated that Lord Solly Zuckerman, writing in 1970 that Australopithecus was probably not an ancestor of Homo sapiens, had more or less all the evidence that we have today.

 Drury University: Duane Gish - The Fossil Record   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Gish repeatedly and emphatically states that one of the biggest issues which the scientific community must contend with in dealing with the question of origins is that of the fossil record.
Gish argues that "most of the important geological formations of the earth can be explained as having been formed as a result of the Noachian flood" along with various other local catastrophic events (Gish, 1985, p.50).
Gish argues that the evolutionary model in all its various forms, is both unproven and unprovable, and as such, can only "serve as a postulate and.

 Duane Gish - Debating King   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Duane Gish, Vice-president of the Institute for Creation Research, is an experienced and eloquent debater in the creationist camp.
Gish's debate presentations are well-prepared, polished, and very persuasive to a layperson unfamiliar with science.
For example, Gish claims that to be intermediate, fossils must be on a direct line of descent with each other and that transitional creatures would have to possess half-formed, and therefore useless, body parts (Gish 1985, 1995).

 Debating the ICR's Duane Gish
Gish has debated enough (far over 300 times) to know what to expect from a scientist unfamiliar with him, and his presentation was expectedly formulaic and extraordinarily successful.
Gish denied that the age of the earth was an issue in the debate, and Chambliss seemed not to realize that most of his audience was comprised of "young-earth creationists."
Gish noted that Geoff Stevens was on a Kutztown University hockey team which had just won a championship of some sort, and he therefore commended Kutztown University for at least having a fine athletic program.

 GISH
Dr. Gish began a book of his own in the middle 80s; it was published in 1993 as "Creation Scientists Answer their Critics." For the most part, it appears to have considered only publications through 1985, although there are a few 1987 citations, and one 1989 citation in the bibliography.
In part this maneuver is made possible by Gish's refusal to defend a young earth or flood geology, despite the fact that these tenets of creationism are a central focus of ICR literature.
Both Dr. Gish, and his naturalistic critics, appear to focus on science as a "search for truth," rather than a "search for models." In popular writings on both sides, the tenuous line between science and philosophy is often blurred.
