MattyT Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Nothing like countering misinformation with more misinformation. I suppose that it's good that they're at least up front and honest about their mission. What would Jesus Wiki? Highlights from the article: Conservapedia brands itself on its main page as "a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American." "The site is intended as a resource for the general audience, but without the defects of Wikipedia," says Conservapedia's project leader, Andy Schlafly, a conservative writer and attorney. Schlafly argues that Wikipedia's content displays a liberal bias, and that the site is rife with so much gossip, vulgarity and long-winded writing that it has become unusable as an educational resource. -------------------------------------------------------- Using the same open-source software as Wikipedia, Conservapedia's entries are written in a manner sympathetic to the views of the religious right, social conservatives and creationists. -------------------------------------------------------- Conservapedia's entry on kangaroos says that, "like all modern animals ... kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood." The site's entry on George Washington identifies the first U.S. president as "the person other than Jesus who declined enormous worldly power ... by voluntarily stepping aside as the ruler of a prosperous nation."

That makes you look intelligent. Somewhere in that site, there's got to be an explanation of why a die has a true value of 3.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
