Bad Science v Conservapedia v Wikipedia

Having been somewhat bored at the office, the other day. I took a visit to one of my favourite sites………”Bad science” (see the link on this blog).

There I found an article entitled “All time classic creationalist pwnage”. This is a quite an entertaining article and through this article, I followed a link to “Conservapedia”, which promotes itself as a “trustworthy encyclopedia” and an alternative to Wikipedia. Now, clearly (to my moderate view point) Conservapedia is promoting a somewhat fundamentalist  view on life, but I found an entry in Conservapedia on Wikipedia. Since Conservapedia’s views on Wikipedia appear to be a bit on the extreme side, I thought I would check Wikipedia’s views on Conservapedia.

The Wikipedia view on Conservapedia is a little more restrained, but somehow, through the Wikipedia article, I found myself at another  Wiki site, by the name of RationalWiki.

Now Rationalwiki , whose aim is to “refuting anti-science….refuting…crank ideas..authoritarianism…fundamentalism”  is almost an alternative to Conservapedia.

Brilliant….another hard day at the office over
