[asa] Conservapedia

Much amusement and hilarity at my work was caused today when someone
stumbled upon

www.conservapedia.com

which is a Conservative "alternative" to wikipedia, peopled by
fundamentalists, as far as I can see.

The entry on "kangaroo" caused a great deal of amusement. ( "designed by
God for jumping" was especially appreciated!)

Does anyone know about the origin of this site? I noted that there wasn't
any article on Theistic Evolution, but when I tried to create an account in
order to register and write one, but found that new registrations have been
disabled.

It did at least provide an opportunity to explain to a colleague of mine who
describes himself as an atheist that there were ways you could be a
Christian and still accept evolution, so I suppose I should feel grateful
for the opportunity. But seriously this is turning Christianity into a
laughing stock.

If anyone finds a way of getting a registered account, let me know and we'll
have a go at doing a Theistic Evolution article. Anything that gets hacked
or distorted can be reported via a blog site if necessary.
