As with any logical proposition, one contradiction disproves the proposed rule. If each of 43 counterexamples has merely a 10% chance of being valid -- an underestimate -- then the probability that the Earth is billions of years old is only 1%. In other words, the Earth must be young with a likelihood of 99%

I had to stop there, barely managed not to burst out laughing.


Also, I can never tell if things like this are parodies or not.
It still blows my mind that chicktracts isn't a parody.

Did you read the first line of the entry for the Bible?

Conservapedia is not a parody. It is run by a New York attorney who felt that Wikipedia was too liberal. I have never noticed that Wikipedia was particularly liberal, myself.

And I agree with you about Chicktracts...that's some more really bizarre stuff.

Oh man, I remember that site - a year or two back I used to read it for laughs - it's so fucking awesome.

The intelligence of humans is rapidly declining, whether measured by SAT scores,[14] music, personal letters,[15] quality of political debates,[16] the quality of news articles,[17] and many other measures. This means that if one goes back far enough, intelligence would measure at ridiculous heights, if humans were even tens of thousands of years old.

Really? There was a recent study that found the exact opposite of this claim.

In any case... I'm really interested to see what idiocy is being used in this site.
Perhaps humanity really does require cleansing every once in a while...

"Living fossils — jellyfish, graptolites, coelacanth, stromatolites, Wollemi pine and hundreds more. That many hundreds of species could remain so unchanged, for even up to billions of years in the case of stromatolites, speaks against the millions and billions of years being real."[19]
The high observed rate of extinctions of species[20] and harmful genetic mutations suggest a relatively short period for the existence of life rather than a long one.

Proof that evolution is real. >_>; If every living, current species were to eventually die out... can you guarantee that there will be absolutely no new ones?

Lack of genetic diversity among the Homo sapiens species. Were evolution and the old earth true, the human population would show a much larger genetic variance.[25] Some scientists have calculated that a troop of 55 chimpanzees contains more genetic diversity than the entire human race; this demonstrates that chimpanzees descended from a large initial population while humans descend from a much smaller one, which indeed we know to have been two people.

Hurrrrrr...

Also, they're bashing Carl Sagan.
I forgot who was somewhat into Sagan, but yeah... *Chants* Defense! *Clap Clap* Defense! *Clap Clap* Defense! *Clap Clap*

There have been a number of notable evolutionists who have been overweight.

THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE INCORRECT! *koff*

4. You spend countless hours arguing with your girlfriend on the true definition of atheism and insist you are not diluting the definition of atheism given in most encyclopedias of philosophy.

LOL.

nerd/nərd/
Noun:
A foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious: "one of those nerds who never asked a girl to dance".
An intelligent, single-minded expert in a particular technical discipline or profession.

BEING SMART IS WRONG. BE MORE DISCIPLINED IN THE BRAINWASHED CATEGORY!

[Haggis_McMutton]

The agnostic and evolutionist Carl Sagan was an avid marijuana smoker who claimed marijuana gave him scientific insights.[1] Sagan's agnosticism and avid pot smoking no doubt helped inspire Sagan's atheistic pseudoscience fantasy that evolution was a "fact".

brilliant.

The one thing I hate about Wikipedia is, if I'm reading an article on something I often want to compare that thing to San Marino. But it takes a lot of work to look it up. That's why I use Conservapedia.

United States Constitution - It is the oldest written national constitution. (San Marino did not write one until the 20th century.)

http://www.conservapedia.com/United_States_Constitution

Thanks, Conservapedia!

Ocean - An ocean is an enormous, continuous body of salt water. The Earth contains five oceans, which cover approximately 70% of the surface. (San Marino, however, is landlocked and doesn't have access to any of them.)

Pythagoras - Pythagoras lived approximately from 582 to 507 BC. (This was long before San Marino was founded.)

Wine - Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes. (San Marino is not known to produce any decent wines.)

Obama frequently used the filibuster to obstruct the operations of government,[29] voted against the minimum wage[30][31] and debt ceiling increases,[32]

He sounds like a Tea Party senator.

I gotta tell you right now, this pisses me off. Ho-Ho's don't come in that great foil wrapper anymore! What the hell! Back in the foil wrapper days, Ho-Ho's were soft, moist and DELICIOUS! They were literally my favorite snack. Now, in this plastic wrapper crap, I can't even stand to look at their dried-out husks. It's sad...very, very sad.

You meant to say "He sounds like what a Tea Party senator CLAIMS they do", right?

San Marino: what's up with that?

Plenty of laughs, yes... except it doesn't even take much reading in these threads to see how many people have absorbed that type of thinking.

Go to the south or "Middle America" -- particularly rural areas, and you will be crying, not laughing.. and suddenly YOU will find yourself labeled the "flaming liberal".

What we need is truth, not labels.

The best one is the Lenski dialogue. There's a short part of the wiki about it: here

It's the point where much of the site collapsed.

This has to be a parody web page right?

I remember that, I thought almost every contributor there was a troll?

The best bits are on conservapedia itself, on the Lenski stuff talk pages. If you want to see a political purge in action, see how scientists with conservative views slowly get pushed out and censored.

I grew up in rural "Middle America" (Nebraska, town with population of less than 1,000). I currently live in what passes for "big city" Nebraska. I don't think that's really true. Nebraska is pretty conservative, but also reasonably "intelligently conservative", in my opinion.

Holy crap...right below that it talks about them rewriting the Bible to take out the liberal parts? Egads!
