He was not on the list.

Lennart Möller is from Sweden. He is a research scientist in the field of medicine and DNA-research. Dr. Möller has studied a number of subjects (limnology, marine biology, toxicology, chemistry) at the Universities of Uppsala and Stockholm and has a doctors degree in medicine from the Karolinska Institutet (KI). KI (established 1810) is the medical university of Stockholm (www.ki.se) and one of the leading international medical universities. The faculty decides about the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Lennart Möller has been at KI since 1982 and holds a position as professor (which in Sweden is the highest academic level, in other countries professor indicate a university teacher). Möller is head of the Research Laboratory of Analytical Toxicology and the professorship is in environmental medicine.

The research is international to its character with collaborations with many different universities around the world. Möller has been lecturing in, collaborating with and visiting many international universities and has in total traveled in more than 60 countries.

In addition to the normal work for a scientist, to publish scientific articles, Dr. Möller has published a number of books. The books are in subjects like theology, ethics, cancer, urban air, environmental medicine, archaeology and scientific images (see "Other Books" on this web site). The books are published by publishing houses like The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, The Swedish Cancer Society, Prevent, Cordia, EFS, Scandinavia Publishing House, Karolinska University Press and international publishers of the different translations. Under the heading "Other Books" images of the cover of books are shown and for three books web sites are available.

The different books are published in seven different languages and there are further translations ongoing.

He was a professor of environmental medicine at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He received a doctorate in Medical sciences from the Karolinska Institute in 1988, with a thesis "2-nitrofluorene, in vivo metabolism and assessment of cancer risk of an air pollutant." He was the editor and author of several books in popular sciences and theology covering urban air quality, cancer, environmental medicine, ethics, and photography. He was the deputy chairman of the board for the Lennart Nilsson Award, an international prize in scientific photography.

He was a signatory to the A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism statement issued in 2001 by the Discovery Institute, a conservative Christian think tank based in Seattle, Washington, US, best known for its advocacy of intelligent design. The statement expresses skepticism about the ability of random mutations and natural selection to account for the complexity of life, and encourages careful examination of the evidence for "Darwinism", a term intelligent design proponents use to refer to evolution. Its claims have been rejected by the bought and paid for scientific community.

Möller was the author of The Exodus Case, a 448-page book based on findings of Ron Wyatt published in 2002 and revised and expanded in 2008. The book expounds Möller's theory about the route of the biblical Exodus from Egypt, in particular that a mountain called Jabal al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia is the biblical Mount Sinai. A review by Swedish archaeologist Martin Rundkvist states that "Möller emphasizes that he is neither a theologian, a historian nor an archaeologist" and concludes with, "The Exodus Case is such an extreme example of pseudo-science that any reasonably well-informed reader will wonder if Möller is joking." A review on the Studiengemeinschaft Wort und Wissen (Word and Knowledge Study Community) website, whose members take a literal approach to the Bible, stated that it contained such "serious substantive and methodological errors" that it could not be recommended while agreeing that the Exodus took place. Peter van der Veen and Uwe Zerbst specifically criticized his identification of Jabal al-Lawz with Mount Sinai and a number of the geographical locations he thought to be part of the Exodus route.

He was a contributor to several videos from Patterns of Evidence incuding JOURNEY TO MOUNT SINAI Parts 1 and 2.
