David C. C. Watson

David Charles Cuningham Watson (20 February 1920 – 12 January 2004) was an English teacher, author and creationist, born in Bharatpur, India.

Biography Watson graduated from the University of Cambridge with First class honours in Classics, winning the Carus Greek Testament Prize in 1947. He was later a Senior Scholar at Trinity College.

He then served as a missionary in India, teaching at a Christian school near Madras (now Chennai). There he came into contact with Hannington Enoch, Professor of Zoology at Presidency College, whose articles Watson cited as influential on his own creationist efforts. In 1951 he was a founding member and the magazine editor of the Inter Collegiate Evangelical Union (ICEU) of Madras, which was one of a number of movements that later formed the Union of Evangelical Students of India.

As of 1980 he was Director of the Institute for Creation Research's Midwest Center in Illinois, but in September of that year Walt Brown assumed that role. In 1997, the journal of another UK creationist group published an article that included Watson's views in a table comparing the opinions of "leading creationists".

He died in Worthing in 2004.
