Creation-Oriented Periodicals

Below are listed periodicals that MCF recommends. All take a Biblical stance on creation, by which we mean, they take the Bible as written when it states that God took only six [earth] days to create "the heavens, the earth, and all that in them is." Many of their websites will have archived articles available for free. Some whole subscriptions are free, but any of these groups could use your donations!

Acts & Facts. Excellent articles on science, coming events, commentary on news events. Beautiful and readable!
From: Newsletter of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), Dallas TX. ICR was the first creationist organization in the world, starting in the 1980's after its founders, Dr. Henry Morris Jr. and Dr. John Whitcomb, published the book The Genesis Flood.
Reading Level: lay person

From: Answers in Genesis (AIG), in Kentucky. AIG and Creation Ministries International used to be one organization that published Creation Magazine.

Creation. Started in 1978 by Dr. Carl Weiland, this was the original lay-level creationist periodical. It still focuses more on questions of science and a bit less on the social/economic/political consequences of evolutionism. They also deal more with living things in Australia, where they are headquartered, than does the similar Answers Magazine from Answers in Genesis. Excellent!
