Carl Wieland is the Managing Director of Creation Ministries International (CMI). In keeping with the stance of that organization, he is an evangelical Christian and a young-Earth creationist.

Wieland is a medical doctor, trained at Adelaide University in South Australia, but ceased practising in 1986 prior to forming CMI after he crashed head-on into a fuel tanker and was laid up in the hospital for nearly six months.[1] He seems to think that being a retired medical doctor qualifies him to mount a challenge to the very philosophical basis of science.[citation needed]

He writes extensively for two of CMI's magazines, the prolefeed vehicle Creation and the pseudoscientific Journal of Creation; he is also a popular figure on the creationist lecture circuit.

Wieland was a key player in the schism that saw CMI separated from its former parent organization, Answers in Genesis. For a while there, Wieland and Ken Ham were going on like two first-graders in a schoolyard, with Wieland saying that Ham pushed him and Ham saying that Wieland was a dirty liar,[2] but after a few years they kissed and made up, with Wieland being put in charge of CMI.
