The revealers

Walter Veith (born in 1949) is a South African zoologist, evangelist, professor, and pastor. He is a Seventh-day Adventist.

His materials are published through a non-profit group called Amazing Discoveries.

[edit] Conspiracy theory

Veith's presentations repeat material published by anti-Catholics such as Alberto Rivera, and Theosophists such as Helena P. Blavatsky as truth. Like many other conspiracy theories promoted within SDA circles, Rome and the Catholic Church frequently figure into such ideas as the central villain.

For example, his video "The Islamic Connection" promotes the idea that Islam is a creation of the Catholic Church.

His presentation technique consists of a Gish Gallop of bullshit, sprinkled with comments like "isn't that interesting". For example, did you know that the New Orleans Police Department has a crescent and star symbol on their police cars? Clearly this indicates an affiliation with Islam, and not (for example) that Crescent City's cops also include a star in their symbology. The tie to Catholicism is clearly demonstrated by the fact that the Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel also has the same star-and-crescent symbol in one of their stained glass windows! Amazingly this does not mean that it was donated by the cops, despite the fact that the symbol in the window also explicitly says "New Orleans Police".

Veith makes sure his audience knows he's just asking questions.

[edit] Creationism

Veith is on the list of CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation.
