Veith was professor of the zoology department at the University of Cape Town and taught in the medical bioscience department. During this time, the department was awarded a Royal Society London grant for zoological research.[1]
After joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church, he rejected the theory of evolution in favor of creationism[2][3] and so had to give up teaching at the University of Cape Town.
As a creationist,[4] he speaks internationally on this and other topics. His lectures, videos, and books promote creationist and Adventist beliefs and doctrines. These include an evangelical understanding of the Bible with a very strong commitment to the Textus Receptus and the King James Version of the Bible. He also promotes a vegan diet and a belief in the imminent fulfillment of Biblical End Times and the return of Jesus Christ.
Veith has written a number of books, including Diet and Health and The Genesis Conflict, which gives a biblical perspective and evidence claimed to support young earth creationism.[5] He is the evangelist of Clash Of Minds, a non-profit worldwide ministry based in Limpopo, South Africa.[6]
