Creation Illustrated: Creation Illustrated in Nature

Overview
Creation Illustrated is a magazine devoted to exploring the intersection of nature, science, and faith. Its editorial mission centers on revealing the intricacies of the natural world as evidence of intentional design, and it seeks writing that treats scientific observation and scriptural reflection as complementary rather than conflicting. The publication occupies a distinct niche: it is neither a peer-reviewed science journal nor a devotional tract, but a venue where close attention to the created order is understood as an act of reverence. The magazine currently seeks two types of feature essays. The first, 'Creation Up Close,' examines a specific aspect of nature—whether microscopic detail, ecosystem, or scientific discipline—to demonstrate design and function. The second, 'Re-Creation and Restoration through Outdoor Adventure,' follows the writer into state parks, national parks, or wilderness areas, linking outdoor experience to spiritual renewal. Both categories run approximately 1,200 to 1,500 words. Contributors are encouraged to integrate scripture and scientific data, and to include brief anecdotes that ground the reader in lived experience. There is no submission fee, and the deadline is rolling, which allows writers to develop and refine their essays without the pressure of a fixed window. The magazine does not charge for submissions, signaling a genuine openness to unsolicited work. For writers whose work engages questions of faith and ecology, this is a rare and specific editorial home.
