Did you consider to read the
man-page for
find?

-newer file
File was modified more recently than file. If file is a symbolic link and the -H option or the -L
option is in effect, the modification time of the file it points to is always used.
BTW, there is no way you can reliably find out the creation date of a file. All discussions in this thread refer to the last modification time of the file (which in your case is probably sufficient).
