"Conservapedia - the US religious right's answer to Wikipedia" March 27, 2016 10:30 pm ER

A website founded by US religious activists aims to counter what they claim is “liberal bias” on Wikipedia, the open encyclopedia which has become one of the most popular sites on the web. The founders of Conservapedia.com say their site offers a “much-needed alternative” to Wikipedia, which they say is “increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American”.

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2007/mar/02/wikipedia.news

How they compare:

Dinosaurs

Wikipedia:
“Vertebrate animals that dominated terrestrial ecosystems for over 160m years, first appearing approximately 230m years ago.”

Conservapedia:
“They are mentioned in numerous places throughout the Good Book. For example, the behemoth in Job and the leviathan in Isaiah are almost certainly references to dinosaurs.”

US Democratic party

Wikipedia:
“The party advocates civil liberties, social freedoms, equal rights, equal opportunity, fiscal responsibility, and a free enterprise system tempered by government intervention.”

Conservapedia:
“The Democrat voting record reveals a true agenda of cowering to terrorism, treasonous anti-Americanism, and contempt for America’s founding principles.”

You can spend hours prowling around the site. Here is an excerpt from the Conservapedia article on black holes.

Black holes are theoretical entities which cannot be directly observed and may not even exist. Suggested by the debatable theory of relativity (see Counterexamples to Relativity), black holes are postulated to be collapsed objects, usually stars, which have supposedly become so dense that within a certain radius their escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. Thus, they absorb all matter and energy within that radius. Light and matter can enter, but nothing can ever escape. Black holes are a sacred cow of atheistic science.

Black holes are increasingly promoted by liberal publications, such as the science page of the New York Times, glossy magazines, and the movies the Event Horizon (1997), The Black Hole (TV, 2006), and Interstellar (2014). As with the related theoretical concept of a “wormhole”,[1] it is impossible to prove that no black hole exists anywhere, and thus they fail the falsifiability requirement of science.

“…a sacred cow of atheistic science?”
Counterexamples to relativity? I was almost afraid to look them up. It might threaten my atheistic liberal faith. But I did anyway, I’ll let you inspect them yourself. But here is how the article was introduced…

The theory of relativity is disproved by numerous counterexamples, but is promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to pull people away from the Bible.[note 1] Here is a list of 48 counterexamples: any one of them would show that the mathematical theory is incorrect:
