Wikipedia has a strong liberal bias

At least acording to this site.
http://www.conservapedia.com/Wikipedia

It also contains such wonderfull quotes as

Quote:

It is sometimes asserted that if human bones aren’t found with dinosaur bones, then dinosaurs and man didn’t live together.[42] Creation scientists point out that this is a false assumption; if human bones aren’t found buried with dinosaur bones, it simply means they weren't buried together.[42]

Creationists note that the fossil record contains mainly marine organisms and that a small sliver of the fossil record contains vertebrates and thus assert that we shouldn't expect to find many human fossils at all.[42] Moreover, as the biblical Flood would be a marine catastrophe, it would be expected that marine fossils would dominate the fossil record. This is in fact what we find.[43]

Approximately 70% of the Earth is covered in salt water which would also explain the dominance of marine fossils. In addition, creation scientists assert there may have been a small pre-flood human population and that massive amounts of flood sediment are why we haven’t found human fossils in pre-biblical flood sediments.[43] Also, creation scientists point out that we don't find human bones buried with coelacanths yet humans and coelacanths coexist today.[42]

Actually, it turns out that facts have a liberal bias! At least according to mr. Stephen Colbert.

You just got to love when they mix up religion and science.

Funnily enough the article on god permanently locked. Those admins, do they think that divine intervention no longer exists?
Well yes actually, there doesn't seem to be a page about it yet so I guess not. But nevertheless, surely god would want to protect his own page? A quick lightning bolt here, a spot of syphilis there, shouldn't be a problem for a supreme being of his stature - not everybody can boast to be 'the creator of the heavens and the earth' yet somehow his subjects believe that he just can't keep an internet page in check...
Another thing I noticed was the page on gods with it's whole 2 lines of text
"Polytheism is the belief in multiple gods. This is in contrast to monotheism, the belief in one deity. Most ancient religions were polytheistic and in modern times some forms of Hinduism and Wicca are polytheistic. The trend over time has been towards monotheism." yet when I clicked on the Hinduism link http://www.conservapedia.com/Hinduism it tells me that contrary to popular belief, Hinduism is not a polytheistic religion, that there is only 1 god but he can manifest himself in many forms, surely the previous author could not be susceptible to such laughably common beliefs, surely not... and this is when an enlightened thought occoured to me... Why am I even bothering to read this!??

So I stopped wasting my time...

's nice weather we've been lately having isn't it? Especially after all that cold there has been, it's a reasonably pleasent day, not too chilly and not too hot. Seems just about right to me, so today I shall be mostly worshiping the sun.
