Biography
Watson graduated from the
First class honours in Classics, winning the Carus Greek Testament Prize in 1947. He was later a Senior Scholar at Trinity College.[2]
He then served as a
Union of Evangelical Students of India.[4]
In 1975 and 1976 he published The Great Brain Robbery and Myths and Miracles, which were later translated into other languages including German, Spanish and Finnish.
In 1976 Watson, who was a member of the
Times Educational Supplement reported that students interrupted his class with shouts of "rubbish".[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.[8] 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".[9]
He died in Worthing in 2004.[1]
