Conservapedia

Conservapedia is funny.  In a sad way.

Vanity Fair has more: http://www.vanityfair.com/online/politics/2009/04/conservapedia-bastion-of-the-realitydenying-right.html

Here's an example from the talk page on Counterexamples_to_Evolution

Just a brief comment - Aschlafly, you seem to suggest that autumn foliage is designed to be beautiful. That is totally subjective and personally I dont find autumn foliage particularly striking. One mans beauty is another's ugly. Secondly, in regards to consciousness, many species of chimps use tools and show morality also parrots have self awareness also and can recognise themselves in mirrors. I dont think wearing clothes has anything to do with self awareness either PatWills 15:12, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

    No, PatWills, autumn foliage is beautiful. Maybe you deny that 2+2=4 too. You do have free will. But you're not going to persuade anyone here by insisting that autumn foliage is not beautiful. It is, and it disproves evolution.

WOW.

Wow, very sad.  The worst part is that people will believe stuff from it.  I especially like the Obama article. (sarcasm)

While I'm sure there's more to that thread... there couldn't possibly be enough for comments such as those to be made...
