David Charles Cuningham Watson, (20 February 1920 – 12 January 2004) was an English teacher, author and creationist, born in Bharatpur, India.
[3] There he came into contact with Hannington Enoch, Professor of Zoology at Presidency College,[4] whose articles Watson cited as influential on his own creationist efforts.
In 1976 Watson, who was a member of the Evolution Protest Movement, lost his job teaching religious education at a state school in the United Kingdom.
Although creationists publicly reported that this dismissal was for refusing "to teach that Genesis is myth" and rallied to his support, they privately intimated opinions about his inability to control pupils classroom behaviour and failure to follow the prescribed syllabus.
[6] As of 1980 he was Director of the Institute for Creation Research's Midwest Center in Illinois,[7] but in September of that year Walt Brown assumed that role.
