Tired of the LIBERAL BIAS every time you search on Google and a Wikipedia page appears? Now it's time for the Conservatives to get our voice out on the internet!
Conservapedia began in November 2006, as the class project for a World History class of 58 advanced homeschooled and college-bound students meeting in New Jersey.
Conservapedia has since grown enormously, including contributors nationwide. Conservapedia already has over one-half the number of entries as the Oxford Dictionary of World History. Conservapedia is rapidly becoming one of the largest and most reliable online educational resources of its kind.
Wikipedia has it's flaws, and isn't close to perfect, but Conservapedia is a freakin' HOOT to read through ... try looking up 'hard fact' terms in math, chemistry, or physics, or pretty much anything else. Not many of the searches kicked back anything, and of those that did the citations were predominently a combination of sparseness, self-referential definition, and, in some cases, just plain wrong.
Bring up both Wikipedia and Conservapedia, and do identical searches to see what I mean ... try the term 'sun', for instance.
Wiki has a couple pages of information while Conservapedia settles with the following. One good thing is on March 7th they changed,
"The sun is a star, a giant ball of flaming gas. It provides the Earth with light and heat. In Christian theology, God created the sun on the first day of Creation. [1]"
to
"The sun is a type G2V star. By mass, it is composed of 72% hydrogen, 26% helium and 2% trace elements of oxygen, carbon, neon, nitrogen, magnesium, iron, and silicon.[1] It provides the Earth with light and heat. In Christian theology, God created the sun on the first day of Creation. [2]"
If homeschoolers are using this for their education .... please, don't apply for any jobs at the local nuclear plant, OK?
Oh, and stay away from anything related to my health
that made me giggle.
