The Conservapedia: If Wiki is too scientific for your simple religious mind.


http://www.conservapedia.com/

one must only post family friendly articles that are 100***37; true!
BCE/CE date notation is wrong and all must be BC/AD to properly show christianity's influence on the word.
All spellings must be in the proper americanized form, no liberals spewing euro-biased Colour here!

Notable articles include:

(those are both the whole article)

It also contains great nuggets of conservative wisdom, such as this from the article on Karl Popper, showing us that thinking about how things could be better is a waste of time

Popper's approach even has merit in debunking claims that "if only ..." something happened, then everything would be better. "If only I were a wealthy man, then ...." There is no way to falsify such claims even if they were false, so there is no point in wasting any time thinking about them.
And this here making sure we all remember that Native Americans really were a backward savage race. And that the wheel is for more than just your pickup truck.

The wheel is essential to manufacturing and even pre-digital watches. No American civilization had the wheel until the Europeans brought it to them.

I wanted to write an article about Conservacrab, the first openly homophobic pok***233;mon. Unfortunately they dont have free editing and registration of a new account is disabled. So much for the wiki part.

I can't tell if it's a joke or not. There's a quite large # of articles there.

The one on jesus either got vandalized or is proof that it's a joke.

EDIT: Get a load of this page, I stumbled on it as a scource in one of the articles.
http://www.answersingenesis.org/
That's scary to me. It's so legitimate!

lmao. I love how the first reason they give to try to discredit the Theory of Evolution is that there isn't sufficient fossil evidence of transitionary (or partly evolved) life. In fact, they go on to say that in the past 140 years, archaeologists have provided almost no evidence.

So... neanderthal remains such as the ice man, Lucy, creatures like the archaeopterix (sp), the fossilized crocodiles and turtles with obvious evolutionary differences from any of todays species, mammoths, sabre toothed cats etc etc... they call that all insufficient evidence?! Hell I'm no archaeologist or paleontologist by a long shot but I've been to enough museums to see plenty of transitionary fossils to support evolution. What do they need, a species that has been so kind as to leave us a new set of fossilized remains on a yearly basis for a couple million years?

Wow. Simply astonishing the amount of denial involved. And that was just the first paragraph. I can't wait to see what other bullshit they've got.

DISCLAIMER - This is not meant to become a debate over the theory of evolution. My point here is that this conservapedia blatantly disregards mountains (literally) of evidence through fossils that have been dug up out of the ground, this is tangible evidence that anyone is free to see for themselves, and by way of counter-arguement have no tangible evidence to provide at all. In fact, no evidence for their viewpoint is given at all. If this is an encyclopedia, it should provide fact and statistics to support their claim. Instead, a general statement is being made which is false in the hope that the reader will believe and rule out this theory. No evidence is being provided to support this statement and this is what angers me so.
