Dr Carl Wieland M.B., B.S.
Managing Director, Creation Ministries International (Australia), Founding Editor, Creation magazine

Biography

Dr Carl Wieland is in great demand as a speaker on the scientific evidence for Creation/Flood, and its relevance to Christianity. Able to hold audiences (both academic and lay) with his knowledge, easy-to-listen-to style, and ever-present humour, he has lectured extensively in Australia and internationally.

Dr Wieland is Managing Director of Creation Ministries International in Brisbane, Australia. This ministry organization (which started as Creation Science Foundation, then Answers in Genesis) produces the family magazine Creation (now going to subscribers in over 100 countries), which he founded in 1978.

Carl has authored numerous articles in both Creation magazine and the associated in-depth Journal of Creation (formerly TJ). He has made major contributions to several creationist books including The Creation Answers Book, and is author of Dragons of the Deep: ocean monsters past and present plus the compact booklet Stones and Bones.

His most recent books are Beyond the Shadows: making sense of personal tragedy, which concerns his experiences leading up to and following a head-on collision at highway speeds, and the blockbuster One Human Family: the Bible, science, race and culture. This 378-page classic, illustrated in full color, is a culmination of his life’s work—to see some of the review acclaim, and read sample sections, go to www.OneHumanFamily.ME or www.OneHumanFamily.US.

Although his formal qualifications are in medicine and surgery (from Adelaide University in South Australia), Carl has not practised in the medical profession since 1986. He is a past president of the Christian Medical Fellowship of South Australia.
