Creation (magazine)

From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Creation magazine is the world's leading creationist publication, published by Creation Ministries International in Australia, and with an editorial team comprising Dr Don Batten, Dr David Catchpoole, Dr Jonathan Sarfati, and Dr Tasman Walker.

The magazine is a 56-page glossy publication with no paid advertising, and is distributed to over 140 countries. It is published four times per year.

The magazine was begun by Dr Carl Wieland in 1978 with the name Ex Nihilo. Soon afterwards, it was published by the Creation Science Foundation, and was later renamed Creation Ex Nihilo, then simply Creation.[1] (see History, below.)

A sister publication is Journal of Creation.
