What is going on?

AddisonDM with on the Daily Lulz show: You're using my own arguments against me! Not fair! Oh, and that bit about birds perching on the roof of the ark? Couldn't have happened. Carnivores ate grain before the flood, that's how Noah fed them. Since you argued about the fish surviving, you can't argue about how, if they did survive, god would manage to kill them all. Logical response: Then what about the dove? Doves are pigeons, you know. Chameleons wouldn't have evolved to be hyper-sensitive in 6,000 years. Oh, and that bit about carnivores eating grain? I thought we were talking about after the Fall.

AddisonDM on ASchlafly's SES application: "frankly, it's not as ridiculous a project as RW likes to claim." Laugh track in 3... 2...

Since koalas aren't really "bears", then maybe they didn't come from a proto-bear baramin. Didn't I tell you we were making this sh*t up as we went?

4

How does all this baramin stuff work? Well sh*t man, we're just making it up as we go.

Anti-science at aSK, courtesy of PJR: ID is a scientific theory, and Dawkins doesn't like it for religious reasons. ID doesn't get a chance because scientists disagree with it for religious reasons. The "Wedge Strategy" doesn't prove ID is religious. "Global Flood" points fossils toward ID. I propose aSK be "anti-Science Knowledge."

People will miss out on art, television, agriculture, biology, philosophy, entertainment and more.

14

Criticizing an idea you don't understand is a bad thing. Therefore, PJR will stop talking about evolution aaaaany time now.

5

Pointing you at material supporting ID is not my department, even though that's sorta the point of the whole wiki.

15

Welcome to Bizarro World, where an organism adapting to better survive in a hostile environment, and in the process becoming less able to compete with other varieties in their enviroments, is evidence against evolution.

Fall down gets his first block at aSK. Update: In LowKey's evaluation, only one of these edits is vandalism; the other one is "sensible."

Acionyx wisely inexplicably lamely leaves his upcoming epic brilliant witty scathing boring Parthian shot in his sandbox. Nobody cares.

-13

CUR manages to actually score a good point for once (I know, I'm scared too). If animals, plants and even trees survived the Flood on "floating mats of vegetation", what's to keep those wicked humans from doing the same?

18

A.Fox (what a subtle name, whoever could it be?) makes his feelings clear to kindly Unca Ed.

6

Say guys, don't Old Earth Creationists consider their fantasies to be Biblical too? You guys aren't the only ones with a claim on an old anthology to back up their nutty ideas, you know.

12

Following in PJR's footsteps - Fox gives us a brief rundown on his experiences as a conservapedia administrator

Ken talks da gud engliches, ya ya!

7

The gang gets all pumped up refuting the Global Flood. Little Philip is not happy. While we're down, everybody makes themselves at home at Acionyx's, while Historian and Theemperor play chess.

11

Let's see, there's enough water to drown the earth hidden somewhere that we can't find, somehow the oceans got saltier within a pretty short time without killing all the fish, plesiosaurs are probably still alive, and the dates of Chinese and Egyptian civilizations are totally wrong. But PJR's not anti-science, nosir!

18

This just in: Ken is really bad at masking his identity. What, you knew that?

4

Plz to not be tracking reality all over our nice clean wiki, kthxbye.

10

And you were doing so well up to point 2.

-1

Absolutely right, Phil. You both claim to have science behind you. Trouble is, only one of you actually does, can you guess who?

13

ASK gets a rousing start, separating itself from CP by adding Argumentum ad populum right off the bat.

-27

Same old Schlafly.(Warning: Poe's Law in action!)

March 24, 2009: Philip J. Rayment gets his project off the ground! Most of the cabal immediately join, along with parodists pretending to be prominent Conservapedia sysops.
