To most scientists in the world today, the theory of evolution is no longer just a theory, but it is regarded as a fact. There are differences of opinion regarding the tempo, mode and mechanisms of evolution, but the basic concepts of the theory have become an established paradigm. Even in the religious world, the old animosities between science and religion have been largely forgotten and are shrugged off as unfortunate history based on ignorance. The educational systems of the world propagate evolution as the only feasible theory of origin to the exclusion of all others, and it is therefore not surprising that alternative models are regarded with skepticism. In spite of this skepticism, however, there exists even today a large body of scientists who believe in a literal creation and many who also believe in a literal interpretation of the Genesis account.

In my own life, I have been confronted with this dilemma, and have become convinced that the alternative view of origin by design is worthy of support. For most of my academic career, I was a committed evolutionist and presented the theory of evolution to my students as an established fact. My university training and subsequent scientific endeavors had exposed me exclusively to the evolutionary paradigm and this had molded my thinking.

My change of view regarding evolution was not instantaneous. It was not emotional. It was the result of a long and often hard road in search of truth. In my religious experience, I came to accept the Word of God as the most trustworthy book I have ever read. It challenges one to test its trustworthiness. "Come let us reason together", says the Word. It is my intention to share the evidence I discovered with others, and to invite them to sift the evidence for themselves. If it is truth, then it will stand.

About Dr. Veith -

Professor Walter Veith obtained his doctorate in zoology from the University of Cape Town in 1979. He is currently professor in the zoology department of the University of the Western Cape, South Africa. Although teaching in a secular university, he is one of few scientists who believes that the theory of evolution does not provide a plausible explanation of our origins, nor does the geological and paleontological data support evolution over long periods of time, but rather implies catastrophism which is consistent with the Genesis account. He lectures internationally on this topic and has undertaken extensive tours to Europe, Africa and North America. Professor Veith's research field is nutritional physiology and his research concentrates on the affect of modern animal husbandry on the incidence of disease transferal to man. This highly controversial topic is of vital significance in view of the increase in epidemics and diseases such as Mad Cows Disease. His research concentrates on degenerative diseases caused by incorrect nutrition and particularly diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis and cancer. But he is also concerned about the impact of the use of antibiotics in producing a new breed of antibiotic-resistant bacteria which are causing food poisoning epidemics around the world. Professor Veith and his team have presented numerous lectures on the topic. Their research has been presented at international conferences on nutrition and disease, and their findings have proved that diet impacts directly on numerous degenerative diseases. Professor Veith is one of only 5 scientists in South Africa honored with the Royal Society London Grant for (RDP) the Reconstruction and Development Program to establish a research climate in post-apartheid South Africa.

Professor Veith has written a number of books on the above topics, and is a world-renowned speaker and scientist. His book, Diet and Health, (in which latest insights including his own research are presented) is published by the prestigious scientific publisher: Stuttgart Scientific Publishers (Stuttgart Wissenschaftlicher Verlag), which publishes books for the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry and is available on the world-wide market. In addition, Professor Veith has written two other books: Genesis Conflict -an eye-opening study of the evolutionary theory and the evidences of creation found in the natural world and genetics. An excellent companion to Dr. Veith's evolution series; also Truth Matters - Escaping the Labyrinth of Error - a detailed study presenting Biblical answers to doctrinal questions such as, Was Jesus the Messiah?, Where do the dead go when they die? How will this world end?, and includes a discussion of the prophecies of the Bible and their interpretation. A book of over 400 pages, Truth Matters provides an authoritative study on the subjects presented by Professor Veith during his Bible seminars.

Besides these worthy attributes, Professor Veith is deeply interested in the ecological deterioration of our planet and is convinced that this state of affairs has been predicted in Biblical prophecy. He is an ardent student of Biblical prophecy and the veracity of the Bible, which he believes is proved by the science of archaeology as well as the fulfillment of numerous prophecies found in the Bible. He believes that the Bible has a message to modern man. Professor Veith's many lectures on all of his topics, including the Bible ones, are available on video, and viewers find them unique, eye-opening, and controversial.
