Whoo boy


Ok, normally when I talk politics I simply talk about what I support vs attacking another viewpoint or perhaps making fun of them. But, this is too easy – from the Conservapedia page on Kangaroo origins:

According to the origins theory model used by creation scientists, modern kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah’s Ark prior to the Great Flood. It has not yet been determined by baraminologistsholobaramin with the wallaby, tree-kangaroo, wallaroo, pademelon and quokka, or if all these species are in fact apobaraminic or polybaraminic. There is, however, no evidence of a genetic bottleneck in the kangaroo species which would be expected if all kangaroos were descended from two individuals. whether kangaroos form a

After the Flood, these kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land[5] with lower sea levels during the post-flood ice age, or before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart[6], or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters.[5] The idea that God simply generated kangaroos into existence there is considered by most creation researchers to be contra-Biblical.

Other views on kangaroo origins include the belief of some Australian Aborigines that kangaroos were sung into existence by their ancestors during the “Dreamtime[7] and the evolutionary view that kangaroos and the other marsupials evolved from a common marsupial ancestor which lived hundreds of millions of years ago.[8

I know that conservapedia is supposed to be the opposite of Wikipedia (since conservatives got some idea in their head that Wiki was a liberal site), but…yeesh! Who turned back the dial on the time machine for these folks eh?

A hat tip to Markos for posting about this on his site. I’ll be laughing about it all day!

  1. Funny, yes. I understand the site has been hacked by evolutionists writing parody articles, which the moderators could not distinguish from the real things.

    Then you wind up teaching a college class where a student tells you, in all seriouslness, that men have fewer ribs than women. Then you realize how sad psuedoscientific quackery in the name of science is.

  2. LOL, I love it–what ever happened to teaching text criticism? I am so amazed by adults I work with professionally or in the community who believe 100% of what they read on the internet.
    FWIW< Wikipedia is blocked from the school district browser in our county.
