trained scientists have reported seeing a live dinosaur

[krispos42]

Well, folks, the conservatives, apparently upset because Wikipedia has some liberal bias (cuz, you know, facts have a well-known liberal bias), have up and started their very own Wiki source...

Where you can learn that

<snip>

Most scientists believe that dinosaurs lived from 230 million until 65 million years ago and that they are all currently extinct (except for birds, which many scientists consider to be descended from early therapod dinosaurs). They claim the fossil evidence supports their beliefs. However, there are a number of lines of evidence that point to dinosaurs and man coexisting. <2> <3> For example, trained scientists have reported seeing a live dinosaur. <4> A thousand people reported seeing a dinosaur-like monster in two sightings around Sayram Lake in Xinjiang according to the Chinese publication, China Today. <5> An expedition which included, Charles W. Gilmore, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology with the United States National Museum, examined an ancient pictograph which is claimed to point to dinosaurs and man existing <6><7>

Age of Metal

3500 B.C. began with copper tools, then 2500 B.C. superior bronze tools, then 1200 B.C. superior iron tools.

Um, that's the entire article, too. I guess ancient man just refined bronze into steel and called it done.

1. Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum are not trained scientists.

[wryter2000]

15. LOL

Nominating for a Duzy!

[woo me with science]

29. ROFL! nt

[myrna minx]

2. I saw this Sid & Marty Krofft documentary where, Marshall, Will and Holly

went to this "Land of the Lost" for some reason. In this documentary, humans, demons named Chaka and the Sleestacks all co-existed sometime between the Garden of Eden Age and the Iron Age. :rofl:

[jollyreaper2112]

3. STOP!

STOP! Get on the floor! Trained scientists saw a dinosaur!

[SaveAmerica]

4. There've been 2 dinosaur sightings, this is old news.

and

[Sapere aude]

5. Many trained xians reported seeing pink elephants too!

And some people wonder if there is a bias against religion. This is good enough reason in my book.

6. Yabba-dabba do! n/t

[krispos42]

23. The Flintstones was an excellent documentry series

Just ask a fundi...

[RebelOne]

7. Nessie must have moved from Scotland to China. n/t

8. Was it named "Elvis" and driving a UFO? Will he be appearing in Vegas?

[krispos42]

10. Yes, in a gold jumpsuit. Tickets go on sale Tuesday

:rofl:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. Will they take lost gold from Atlantis?

[Skip Intro]

9. I wonder if there is any correlation between the Biblical story of Adam and Eve

and eating from the forbidden tree of knowledge, and the rw fundie distain for science today...

[ComerPerro]

11. and guess what. These fuckheads get to teach their kids this and call it home schooling

and they get just as much credit and merit as kids who actually learn real things and do homework and work their asses off.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Did you follow the links to the sources? LOL!!

No. 2 is http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dinosaurs.asp
Which has a heading of "Answers in Genesis: Upholding the Authority of the Bible from the very first verse."

No. 3 is http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/3061/
From Creation Ministries International and they even have this note: "Ed. note: the author has since retracted his claim about the Illustrated London News report on the living pterosaur, since new evidence shows that it was a hoax." on the piece "Are dinosaurs alive today?"

[Dogmudgeon]

14. But it's "Fair an' Balanced"!

This is the best page: Examples of Bias in Wikipedia.

"Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most English speaking users are American. Look up "Most Favored Nation" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts the spelling to the British spelling "Most Favoured Nation", even there there are far more American than British users."

This has to be satire.

--p!

[wryter2000]

16. "Even there there"?

"...even there there are far more American than British users."

Hey, I live in Oakland, and we have lots of there here. I don't know if there's any there there in conservapedia.

[tenshi816]

31. Heh. I always did think

Gertrude Stein was being a little bit harsh about Oakland. I wonder if she'd find that there "there" in conservapedia.

[wryter2000]

36. Actually,

I believe she meant that Oakland wasn't the place she remembered. All places change. I love Oakland. Wouldn't live anywhere else. I do hope the city finds a way to heal.

17. They were giant lizards - not dinosaurs. One lizard had a snarl on one side of his face

It's Big Dick and his bunch as they truly are, without the human prosthetic masks and make-up.

[Bear down under]

18. So what? They have dinosaurs in New Zealand.

The tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) is often called the last of the dinosaurs. A miniature one, to be sure; but it has survived since the dinosaur age and is more closely allied to them (remembering that "dinosaur" is a term used very loosely) than it is to modern lizards.

[muriel_volestrangler]

33. It's not as closely related to dinosaurs as crocodiles are

The tuatara is the only member of sphenodontidae alive today; but dinosaurs were members of archosauria, as are crocodiles. Both are examples of diapsids, but so are lizards and snakes (squamata).

And then you have the birds to consider.

So the tuatara is definitely not "the last of the dinosaurs"; it's just not a lizard.

19. Well, they are trained scientists.

It takes a lot of training to distinguish between dinosaurs, dragons, godzilla, and, of course, mechazilla.

[MoseyWalker]

20. don't these people ever get tired of

being so incredibly ignorant? Does there ever come a time when they look at themselves and say "I gotta throw away them there comic books and re-enroll in fourth grade"?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. I can't imagine the person that contributed those.

Imagine, this must be what constitutes nerds for freepers.

[JHB]

27. They don't read comic books...

It's the scientists who did, developing a sense of wonder, and always having to know what happened next, etc.

You should see the "Christian comic books" these people try to put out: bloody awful when they're not unintenional howlers. (Is it too "liberal" of me to use "bloody"?)

[rockymountaindem]

21. I can't wait until they try to write an article on Judaism

I wonder if they'll take the "charming people who unfortunately don't know about Jesus" line or the "Jews are the spawn of satan" line. I'm afraid to look...

[pinniped]

24. We all know China monitors all media, so that publication is out of question.

[SoCalDem]

25. Naa.. they just fell for the GEICO scam.. That lizard's accent is pretty cool.

and you know they would NEVER buy insurance from a caveman..Cavemen believed in evolution :)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

26. They do exist!! They lost control of Congress this past November :)

:evilgrin:

[woo me with science]

28. What were the scientists trained to do? nt

[Irreverend IX]

30. A conservative encyclopedia anyone can edit?

Sign me up! I think the "Jesus" article could use some details on his homosexual leanings. Let's also add some information about how Jews control the banks and the UN and have the power to psychically command dark-skinned people and then send links to those articles to media outlets. Someone should also try putting in a Fixed Earth article that "debunks" Copernicus and see how long it lasts.

...But it appears this site is being raided already, since each page takes four or so minutes to load.

[muriel_volestrangler]

34. It seems impossible for me to get an account there

The instructions talk about clicking 'create account' in the lower left hand corner, but there's nothing there. That might be because they can tell my ISP is in Britain, and they don't want those goddam pinko liberal British spellings infecting their shining city of Conservopedia, of course ... :evilgrin:

[Bassic]

32. I've been reading a bit of Conservacrapia

I didn't know if I should laugh at them or cry for them. Reading so much ignorance in so little time burns my eyes.

[Javaman]

35. And just what is a "trained" scientist? nt
