Duane Gish, a twin, was born in White City, Kansas, the youngest of nine children. At 10 he professed his faith in Christianity in the Methodist Church.[2] Later became a fundamentalist in the Regular Baptist Church.[2] He received a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from UCLA in 1949 and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1953. He also worked as Assistant Research Associate at Berkeley and an assistant professor at Cornell University Medical College (NYC), performing bio-medical and biochemical research for 18 years. He then joined the pharmaceutical company Upjohn (Michigan) as a research associate in 1960.[3] In 1971 Gish became a faculty member in San Diego Christian College working in its research division, before accepting a position in the Institute for Creation Research (independent since 1981). He was the senior vice president emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research, and often traveled abroad to give seminars and lectures on creation science.
