Has anyone seen their article on wikipedia?

http://www.conservapedia.com/Wikipedia

And wikipedia's article on conservapedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservapedia

Edit: After looking at those, I tried to find some neutral ground for comparison.

I tried searching conservapedia for "airplane" and "orange" (the fruit) but found nothing.

After searching "computer", I found something.

I think the fundamentalist christians are starting a campaign against fact and reason. I think that the daily show knock off, the creationist museum and now the conservapedia are all part of a giant plan to bring their values, tradition, and nonsense back to the american people.

They must be stopped.

Evolution
Abortion
Islam
Fox News

This thing is classic. Things I have learned today...

Islam means submission, Abortion causes breast cancer, Fox News isn't republican based; it is anti-elitist, Despite being the scientific standard, in the United States, there are a significant number of lay people who do not accept evolution, and many other fun facts. Wooooooooooo I have a new place to find bs for the rest of my life.

OMFG!! I FOUND IT!!! I FOUND IT!!!

Homosexual Agenda

According to a FAQ on Conservapedia, it originated as a project for homeschooled children, who wrote most of the initial entries,[6]

LOL, I thought it looked like it was written by an uneducated 13 year old.

well, the first search that I naturally performed:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Evolution

The theory of evolution was published by Charles Darwin in his book On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, in 1859.[3]

After he abandoned his father's plan for him to become a Christian minister, Darwin traveled around the world between 1831 and 1836. He observed finches having different types of beaks in the Galapagos archipelago. In his book published over twenty years later, Darwin suggested that the different types of beaks were due to natural selection rather than intelligent design.

The leading scientists in the 19th century rejected Darwin's theory. The founder of microbiology, Louis Pasteur, rejected the theory.[4] Lord Kelvin rejected the theory due to his incorrect calculation of the Earth's age. James Maxwell rejected the theory. A prominent English physicist of the 20th century, Fred Hoyle, rejected the theory. The inventor of the MRI, Raymond Damadian, rejected the theory. The vast majority of modern, 21st century working scientists, however, accept this as the fundament of modern biology.

Darwin did not first propose in his book Origin of Species that man had descended from non-human ancestors. He suggested that later in a book entitled Descent of Man.

I find the blatant innacuracies to be dangerously hillarious

right...because Darwin had the idea of Intelligent design to compare natural selection to. I also like "The theory of evolution was first published in his book..." Ideas of Evolution had been around for at least a century before Darwin. He published, and coined, the term "natural selection." This is awesome
