Creationwiki makes me laugh, and grind my teeth.

    This 'information' site both makes me laugh and angers me. It's an odd feeling. I guess it's because it's just so ignorant. Is it trying to explain science with respect to religion, or vice versa? Either way it's garbage.

    http://creationwiki.org/Dinosaur
    Based on the Biblical book of Genesis account of history, creationists generally believe that dinosaurs survived the flood of Noah and coinhabited the Earth with mankind for some time.[13] If this is correct, the contribution of humans to dinosaur extinction should be considered. Humans have a natural instinct to kill any animal that possesses a threatening imposition, and reptiles of any significant size are typically killed when in the proximity of human habitats. Large reptiles the size of dinosaurs would certainly be perceived as a threat and slayed by humans that possessed hunting capabilities.

    Although I said I find it humourous, I still know that it is dangerous. This wiki site has probably replaced the proper wiki site in many schools in the US, where they teach children about how god put dinosaur bones under the ground as a test. What a prankster!

    Has anyone else come across this site? Any other articles of note?

    That has to be a joke, right?

    Right?

    I like to think that websites like that got infiltrated early on by some Poe's Law advocates, who are just writing crazier and crazier entries to see how far they can stretch creationist gullibility.

    The alternative is that it's all real, and that's just sad.

    Does that mean Noah had a couple of Trex's and a couple of triceratops etc etc on his boat? Impressive boat!

    No, because they all MICRO-evolved from the same kind.:D:cool::o:p;):):(:confused:

    Is laughing and grinding teeth at the same time medically advisable... or even possible?

    I am going to download the funniest thing I can think of and watch it angrily now just to see what happens. If I dislocate anything, you are footing the hospital bill.

    Fossil mammals, like mammoths and "saber-toothed tigers" (e.g., Smilodon), are also often incorrectly called dinosaurs.

    :confused:

    If you think THAT'S impressive, there must have been a couple of these bad boys on board too:

    Largest land animal yet.

    Still not as big as the Blue Whale, although certainly impressive. Must have used water tanks like the one used to contain the Humpbacks in Star Trek IV.

    Back to the topic, here's a link to the creationwiki page on Atheism.
    http://creationwiki.org/Atheism
    It should be noted that despite American society being secular and atheistic in theory, 76.5% of Americans call themselves Christian, thus American public society underrepresents and in many cases completely disenfranchises the implementation of the majority opinion: that there is a God. In this sense, the 14.1% of American society which call themselves secularists decide policy, scientific opinion, educational course material, and many other forms of knowledge despite the fact the majority of American society believes in a higher power of some sort.

    76.5% seems rather inflated.

    Also, is scientific opinion 'safe' in the hands of religious fruit bars? I would think not.

    What I find hilarious about sites like this is how people have no justifiable
    response to any of the ridiculous claims they make. You can bang your
    head off the wall trying to make some kind of argument yet you're always
    forgetting that the word dinosaur "was coined in 1842 by the creationist
    paleontologist Richard Owen" or something like that.
