I completely forgot his name, but a new thing happening apparently is that crazy creationists basically hide their beliefs for awhile, go to prestigious schools, get phDs/other degrees in various fields (sometimes biology), then going around and sponsoring creationist sciences using their degree to basically give some sort of credibility to their claims.

Oh, then claiming some sort of EVOLUTIONIST LIBERAL CONSPIRACY going on behind the laboratory doors.

I don't know, this looks like a pretty prestigious place.

My favorite from the section on Hovind:

quote:

Critics have described Hovind's dissertation as incomplete, of low academic quality, poor writing, poor spelling, and ungrammatical style.[24] The lack of quality was described, in part, by the fact that "the pages are not numbered; there is no title; of sixteen or so chapters in the index only the first four are finished; misspellings are rampant ("Immerged" for emerged, "epic" for epoch, and "tentable" for testable are three examples); and the single illustration was apparently cut out of a science book with scissors and fastened to the thesis with glue or tape."

I'm just hoping that Schaferly when he his conservsative bible rewrite project gets to the final stanza of revelations, that he has a coronary over it. Cos thats the bit that says "If you add anything or remove anything, you get to go to superhell. And on the slim chance the christians are actually right, that means Schaferly is going to superhell. And if the christians are wrong, Schaferly squandered his life on bad crazyness.

Basically by rewriting the bible he just cocked up Pascals wager.

On the upside, if the christians are right and he goes to superhell, at least he gets to hang out with Reagan.
This is what you liberals deniers don't understand, and why you liberals are losing ground every day in the war on reality. The current Bible is not the word of God, it was changed and modified by liberals like yourself over the years to suit the needs of the liberals in power. Take the King James Bible; edited by the biggest liberal of them all, King James, who ruled over socialist England in the 1500's. He was chosen by God to rule England, and then he turned his back on God and rewrote the Bible to serve his needs of giving away health care to parasites. We are turning the Bible back to what it originally said. Jesus hated the poor and loved the rich, he never cured anybody free of charge, and Judas was actually Jesus using quantum entanglement to change every persons memories to make them think Judas existed.

Take this verse from the liberal denier liar Bible, "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" In the original Bible it actually said "gently caress the poor."

Kick and scream all you want, that may work for our home schooled students, but it won't work for the liberals.

And heres the closing line;-


Its 102 pages long, has no footnotes, references or apendices, quotes mainly creationist literature, but occasionally quotes Sci-am articles to be angry about.

But most of all it happily admits this;-

Andy is an electrical engineer who thinks imaginary numbers have a liberal bias.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Conservapedia:Conservapedian_mathematics

Rationalwiki posted:

In order to understand Andy's notions about elementary proofs, one needs to examine his views on complex numbers. He is curiously opposed to them, and heaps scorn on them at every opportunity. We have no idea why — they are a staple of mathematics and learning about them typically begins somewhere in high school or junior high. Additionally, Andy would have learnt and used them extensively back when he was studying and working in electrical engineering, as they are the base of Fourier frequency-domain analysis, which in turn is pretty much the heart and fiber of analog electronics and signal processing. It's as if a plumber decided to lash out at pipe wrenches. Andy seems to have some kind of preposterous belief that there is a unique pitfall in the choice of the imaginary unit. He must have really disliked his teacher. Oh, we're sorry, was he homeschooled?

I was looking into the Shirley Sherrod page because I had forgotten what happened with that whole thing. Then I looked at the talk page where it discussed the edited video being given to the media.

Conservapedia posted:

How did the video come into Briebart's hands? This question needs to be addressed. Was Briebart set up? did Briebart take the bait. Seems Briebart's enemies (from the White House, NAACP, and CNN on down) were ready to pounce. Rob Smith 15:40, 11 November 2010 (EST)

I read that Coulter says Breitbart was setup. I don't know where he got the tape. There is some good detail on Shirley which thanks to Breitbart and his tape, exposed Pigford to America. [1] and [2]--Jpatt 21:31, 11 November 2010 (EST)

The edited version was probably anonymously emailed to Briebart by the same groups that later criticized him. It's not hard to figure out how these things work. Rob Smith 15:51, 12 November 2010 (EST)

These guys seriously think every person that doesn't fit into their own kooky form of conservatism is out to destroy the TRUE AMERICANS. It's like every single thing that a conservative does wrong can be explained away by a conspiracy theory, and every Democratic gaffe is a blatant and obvious error.

It took me most of a half-hour and I had to go back, oh, say, 6,000 years (what a coincidence!) but I've found something that would stand up to the sort of scrutiny they'd bother to give.

Hitler's name comes from Old German hiltr or hildr, meaning "war" (the switching of the sounds 't/d' and 'l' is a common linguistic phenomenon known as metathesis). It in turn comes from a Proto-Indo European root "kel", "to hit, or strike" in which the "k" widely became "h" in most European languages via a process known as lenition, including certain instances in Latin (others retained the 'k' sound) in such words as consul, and hilarus, meaning "funny" or "light-hearted", from which the name Hillary (and the word 'hilarious') is derived.

Hitler comes from war, which comes from hit or strike; Hillary comes from funny, which comes from hit or strike (perhaps a tie-in to Andy S's crusade against pre-Christian humour?)

(for the record, it's total bullshit - best I can tell, 'hilarus' originally comes from Proto-Indo European 'sel', 'to take or grab', while Hitler has nothing at all to do with 'hiltr', which isn't even Old German but Old Norse. But really, who has the time to sort PIE root words when there's Liberals to rail against?)

Stormfronts a classic like that. I had a troll account that would make claims like

A) Aboriginals need to get back their land that was stolen by jewish multiculturalists.
B) Muslims and whites share much in common, including being opressed by jews and homosexuals.
C) The jewish Opium war degraded chinese culture and thus led to racial conflict with the whites. They are as much a victim as us and the real chinese culture is ancient and wise and a good friend of the whites.
D) Negros would not commit crime had they been induced into it by jewish multiculturalists.
E) There seems to be a correlation with the growing influence of jewish society on white society and white cancer rates. We all know that modern cancer is largely due to the effects of environmental polution, but you have to wonder if this is by design.

It was amazing how much you can claim stuff thats completely 180 degrees of what the fuckers actually believe by just invoking the jewish bogey man.
