Hilarious! CreationWiki site--Encyclopedia of Creation Science ROFLMAO

[Whoa_Nelly]

Encyclopedia of Creation Science?? :wtf:

More like an encyclopedia of pretend science! :rofl:

http://creationwiki.org/Template:News

Go ahead...don't be afraid to take a look ;) There are some pretty funny leap of faith conclusions deemed as scientific evidence here as exemplified in this news article:

The Lord's Encyclopedia

By Christian Stöcker

Christian fundamentalists in the US have launched two online encyclopedias modelled on the Wikipedia format. Conservapedia and CreationWiki aim to explain the world from a creationist perspective. They make entertaining reading.

"Kangaroos, like all modern animals, originated in the Middle East and 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." This sentence is taken from an online encyclopedia. And it is meant seriously.

1. One can only hope that social/economic pressures will extinguish such STUPIDITY.

Stupidity wrapped in religion = fundy xtians (and any other fundy sect).

3. If that's *all* we can do, then we face certain doom.

5. I wonder who had to clean up the dinosaur shit on the ark?

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. O My Dog!

:spray:

You owe me a new MacBook! :rofl:

[canetoad]

11. Goliath?

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. ...or maybe Cyclops...?

(It's quite apparent why he wasn't allowed a mate to join him on the ark... :eyes: )

[canetoad]

19. Sort of a Fred Thompson look don't you think.

Especially around the mouth

[Whoa_Nelly]

23. Thompson shouldn't have been allowed a mate either...

:P

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. What Falwell and his ilk have wrought in the purposeful deconstruction of our nation

and the splintering of political/social groups will, I think, take many years to mend and heal.

But there is hope.

I was talking with a young 20-some friend of mine recently, who is also a grad student going for an MBA, and he had this to say:

There is so much apathy and lack of motivation among our nation's voters today. yet, when I really examine this, I see that that it would appear it's the GenX voters who allowed themselves to be easily placated, easily led, and completely influenced by the MSM.

What I see and hear from people of my generation and age group is that it's important to vote, important to research and understand the candidates, the issues, and the long-term impacts before voting, and important to be active in facilitating change at this point. Our nation has been mislead and mishandled far too long. It's time to be pro-active and participate as citizens, as is our right.

It's time to save our Constitution. It's time to rescue our nation.

People in my age group are talking. People in my age group are concerned and willing to look, listen, learn and act without relying solely on biased political ads or the MSM versions of candidate profiles, or the national and world news as it's presented today.

[canetoad]

17. But we've seen it all before

TV has been around for....oh, about 45 years of my life and now, everytime they drag out the wide-eyed young things to tell us what we should be obsessing over it's very much a ho-humm. Been there, seen that, moved on.

I fret for the young people who are subject to the hypnotism of the box without yet having the discernment to seperate the wheat from the chaff. Same goes for the internet I guess.

[Whoa_Nelly]

21. Yet, my young friend made it quite clear, from his perspective

that more and more of today's young voters are NOT believing the tin voices from the MSM.

I hope he's right.

[canetoad]

24. I do to

Recently had a regime change in the office. Someone who had 'nested' for 10 or so years moved on and we replaced her with a young grad. architect and a student. Now we are a very very left-wing practice and these two 'kids' are the hope for the future.

[BlooInBloo]

2. They're trying to ruin Wikipedia, via the guilt-by-association method....

By making a bunch of bullshit, and making it APPEAR to be "the same type of thing" as wiki, the criticisms we (correctly) make of this, conservopedia, and any others that come out of the pipeline, will be somewhat projected onto wikipedia.

One could also call this "the splash damage effect."

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Interesting point to make, BIB!

:hi:

[Tesha]

26. Oh they're trying to ruin Wikipedia more directly than that, but luckily...

Oh they're trying to ruin Wikipedia more directly than
that (by constantly editing out the science and editing
in their shit), but luckily, Wikipedia has a world-wide
editorship, so American fundy idiots get reverted fairly
quickly.

Tesha

[BlooInBloo]

32. That's competely consistent with what I said...

... in short, the two methods represent opposite ends of a trade-off scale between immediacy of effect on the one side, and difficulty-of-fixing on the other.

[canetoad]

4. Truly magnificent

"Kangaroos, like all modern animals, originated in the Middle East and 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."

And did Noah stop off for a weekend at Surfer's Paradise when he was dropping them off?

Seriously though, I had to look up the word 'baramin' and dang, if they didn't just make it up.

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. But, but....you, too can study "barimnology", as begun philosophically by Aristotle!

http://www.bryancore.org/bsg/abouthistory.html

The intellectual heritage of baraminology stretches back to Aristotle. Aristotle believed that for knowledge and science to be possible, the subjects of science (the things that are known) must be immutable, for if change was possible, then what you "know" today would be invalid tomorrow.

<snip>
As even Christian biologists conceded to the intellectual force of Darwin, resistance to evolution fell to a handful of theologians and laypeople until the 1940's. In 1941, Frank Lewis Marsh published a small book titled Fundamental Biology. In it, Marsh did something quite unique. He freely admitted the reality of speciation and transformism, but he also rejected the universal evolutionary tree. Instead, Marsh theorized that God had created a number of "kinds" in the beginning, and from those original "kinds" our modern species have descended. To Marsh, the transformation of one species into another is possible, but only within divinely-mandated limits. Marsh coined the word baramin to describe his "created kinds." Baramin comes from two Hebrew words, bara meaning "create" and min meaning "kind." We may think of Marsh's baramin concept as a set of species descended from an originally-created ancestral population.

20. Ya know what I think?

They secretly believe in evolution but are trying to re-badge it.

[Whoa_Nelly]

22. Closet Evolutionists???

****GASP****

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked!!

Please! People!
Let's get legislation in quickly!
Call Congress RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

We CANNOT allow Closet Evolutionists to marry or THIS will surely happen!!

[canetoad]

25. Checked out your link

You couldn't make this stuff up. (oh yes you could!)

BTW, I'm pinching your inner fish pic.

[Whoa_Nelly]

27. My O My!

You've became a DU member on my birthdate! :hi:

Coincidence?

I think not! I believe a DestinyWiki site should be the next "true information" website! :P

As for the Darwin/Fish pic...
it IS a lovely piece of art! Would love to have it as a poster on my wall!
But, since I can't find that, will settle for a T-shirt of it.

28. Ya know, I had to check my own profile

and I say, It's a Sign.

And, my mother and grandmother were both known as Nelly, and Nelson (one of my JR Terrorists) is called Nellie-Boy.

[Whoa_Nelly]

30. Hot Damn!

We have DU Cosmo-Connectivity! :woohoo:

[canetoad]

29. OMG!!! 1954?

[Whoa_Nelly]

31. Yes...1954...You Rang?

[canetoad]

33. Stop looking at me

I get embarrassed as it's 4am, can't sleep so decided to do some work. Sure, coffee, cigs and DU!

Hell, I enjoy making fun of nutcases (nooo, not you, the fundies). I just can't find it in my heart of hearts to validate their bizarre theories by holding an indepth discussion on them.

[Whoa_Nelly]

35. Fundies! Check out this post of mine from a couple of weeks ago!

This post is in reference to a local evangelical charismatic Assembly of God splinter group near me. And, unfortunately, I know these people! :(

I tried and tried but just couldn't pull it off

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. I understand your pain

15. "...has puzzled scientists for five years or so."

How Creationistly ambiguous of them!

:rofl: :rofl:

[C_U_L8R]

18. poop.

[porphyrian]

34. Can they be sued for false advertising?

There's nothing scientific about creationism, except maybe psychological disorder.

[Whoa_Nelly]

36. Maybe not sued for false advertising, but more for Casting Asparagus

with their Asparagus Casting Machines used since the Dawn of Creationism!

37. More funny fundie foibles here

Just posted this thread, about a great prank on the Creation Museum.
