Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha - Haaaaa Haaaaa Haaaaaa. read more. like this - http://www.conservapedia.com/Evolution

There is little scientific consensus on how macroevolution is said to have happened, as can be seen in the following quotes:

Followed by some really dodgy quotes (Including one from a famous French proponent of Lamarckism! ). What makes me laugh is that with that exception they are all arguing about the minor details of the way evolution works yet this is presented as an argument that there is a huge debate about the whole theory.

Now put a Catholic, A Protestant, A Muslim and a Jew in the same room, ask them to talk about God. See! They don't agree. God must not exist!

[Mars]

Ouch... 

Hey look at this

Obama has declared himself to be a Christian and downplays his Islamic background by claiming that his Kenyan Muslim father was a "confirmed atheist" before Obama was born, but in fact less than 1% of Kenyans are atheists, agnostics or non-religious.[4]

I really wanna show this site to my family, but I have a sneaking suspicion my father would agree with it.

[WMCoolmon]

See, I really disagree with that style of argument. Instead of taking Obama's word that his father was a polygamist who deserted him and his mother at the age of two, they instead try to make a retarded argument based on generalized statistics. Even if you assume the statistics are 100% accurate, there's no correlation between the two other than his father is Kenyan. How many Kenyans leave the country and go live in the United States?

How many Kenyans are the father of a leading Democratic primary candidate? Less than 1%, I'd wager.

Does that mean that Obama's father isn't his father? It's even more unlikely that a random Kenyan would be Obama's father than a random Kenyan being an atheist.

Does that mean Obama doesn't exist? It's even less likely that a random person in America would be a Democratic presidential candidate.

[Mefustae]

Maybe he wasn't even Kenyan to begin with. He could just run real, real fast.

While in principle I actually agree with the Christians about using AD instead of CE (It's been AD for long enough that I really couldn't care less about changing it) that article is laughable.

[Flipside]

The 1972 Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary has no entry for "Common Era."

So, wait, a Dictionary that was made the year I was born, 3.5 decades ago, doesn't hold a reference to the term? Must be fake then...

From the article on Feminism

Specifically, modern feminists tend to:

    * believe that there are no inherent differences between men and women and that all inequality is the result of men oppressing women[4]
    * believe that "it takes a village to raise a child" and deny the exclusive role played by parents in raising children.[5]
    * view traditional marriage as unacceptably patriarchal
    * prefer role-reversal like men baking cookies for women[6]
    * seek to abolish all-male private clubs
    * insist that childrearing activities be shared equally by men and women in every respect
    * support affirmative action for women
    * detest women who are happy in traditional roles, such as housewife,[7] and especially dislike those who defend such roles
    * prefer that women wear pants rather than dresses, presumably because men do[8][9]
    * seek women in combat in the military just like men, and coed submarines
    * flat-out refuse to take the husband's last name when marrying[10]

Seriously, this site must be a parody!

Hmmmm... Why does my 'Bad Divorce' alarm ring when I read that list?

[Mars]

To be fair that is a helluva good description of one of my ex-girlfriends opinions.

They CANNOT be serious.

Honestly I was kinda confused by the whole BCE/CE as well, seeing as how we name the months of the year after gods, the days of the week after gods, and so on. I guess Christianity is still a commonly practiced religion makes it different.

The website is of course hilarious about the issue however.

[vyper]

coed submarines

That sounds hot.

My first thought was a college dorm.

IIRC it's been done already. Of course, she was an engineer, which aboard a sub means a nuke engineer. These people are absolutely no fun when anywere near a reactor.

Uh? What do you mean?

[TrashMan]

*points and laughs at the section on evolution*

If you think that's a laugh, look at the section on Galileo Galilei! 

What's wrong with it? I skimmed trough it and it looks OK.

You mean besides the fact that they make it look like the church condemmed him because they misheard his views on heliocentrism and that the church "knew" that heliocentrism was the better of both theories despite then condemming him?

And how do you know what the truth is for a fact?
Galileo lived hunderds of years before you were born. All we got to go on are theories made by historians, which are based on written records. And we all know you got conflicting writing on practicely anything these days and people who wrote them were not 100% objective either. The same holds true for earlier writing of men. I bet you'd find plenty of historians who have different theories - one that is accepted the most by the people and historians becomes the official version. Doesn't mean it's correct.

I'd take everything on conservapedia with a grain of salt. But then again I'd take everything from wikipedia, or any other source also with a grain of salt.

Also keep in mind that even in fairy tales or lies, there is a grain of truth somewhere. However what the truth is - I have no idea. That's why I won't go yelling at either version.

[colecampbell666]

Oh. God. Someone end this before it starts.

[tinfoil]

end what?

[Mobius]

A bad thing about that 'pedia is the forced association of Atheism with mass murder by citing Stalin...
