Creation-Oriented Periodicals
Below are listed periodicals that MCF recommends. All take a Biblical stance
on creation, by which we mean that 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", and the Flood was world-wide.
Many of these websites will have archived articles available for free. Some
whole subscriptions are free, but any of these groups could use your donations!
Some also have videos online, but that's for another web page.

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!
