Patriot Bible University is a world-renowned educational institution located in Colorado under the direction of the Hilltop Baptist Church. Although they are unaccredited, this is largely due to secularist and liberal bias in the accreditation process. Patriot Bible University departs from the "Ivory Tower" philosophy in usual academics, and will reward students with credits for life experience as a result. They also have a student body of about 400 correspondence students. Kent Hovind, PHD, is one of their graduates. Kent Hovind is well known for his anti-tax activism and his discovery of a plesiosaur near Japan, and his education at Patriot Bible University is thought to have been a major factor in both regards.

Students at Patriot Bible University can take courses not typically offered at a mainstream secular institution, such as: BI 402 -- Understanding the Personality of God, BI 405 -- Christian Warfare, E 212 -- Sunday School Growth, PM 111 -- Following God's Will, CM 203 -- Jail Ministry, CM 311 -- Business Management in the Local Church, and SC 701 -- Biblical Basis for Modern Science. Students in the graduate programs have the opportunity to write dissertations and, unlike in conventional universities, those dissertations will be copyrighted by the university to help protect the students from public discourse and scrutiny.

According to evolutionary scientists, who use relative dating methods that rely on the strata fossils are found in, plesiosaurs lived in the Jurassic period and are now extinct. According to creation scientists, who use the Bible, plesiosaurs were created on the fifth day of the Creation Week[2] and lived concurrently with Man. It is also widely held among creation researchers that the leviathan mentioned in the Bible[3] was a type of plesiosaur, specifically the kronosaurus[4].

Like other aquatic animals, according to the Bible plesiosaurs were not taken aboard the Ark during the Great Flood[5]. Because of this, some creation researchers believe that not all of them perished in the Flood and that populations survive to this day[2], hidden beneath the icy waters of seas and deep lakes. The most often cited evidences for this theory are the many modern sightings around the globe of creatures that fit the description of a plesiosaur, the most famous of which have been reported at Loch Ness, Scotland (the so-called "Loch Ness Monster" or "Nessie") and Lake Okanagan in British Columbia (known as "Ogopogo").

Really-- is this a parody, or a serious entry? If it's the former, it's genius. If it's the latter, it's pathetically comical.

Origins

According to the origins model used by creation scientists, modern kangaroos, like all modern animals, originated in the Middle East[1] and 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 baraminologists whether kangaroos form a holobaramin with the wallaby, tree-kangaroo, wallaroo, pademelon and quokka, or if all these species are in fact apobaraminic or polybaraminic.

Also according to creation science, after the Flood, kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land[2] -- as Australia was still for a time connected to the Middle East before the supercontinent of Pangea broke apart[3] -- or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters[2].

Fox news
From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Fox News was started in 1996 in response to the other cable news channels which all had obvious liberal biases. Because of this, Rupert Murdoch decided to start a real new channel which would tell the truth. The success of Fox news over every other news channel is because it is fair and balanced. [1] It has many people on it who work to spread truth such as Sean Hannity who is a great American. [2]. Fox News is best because instead of just telling you what to think, they only report the news unbiased and then allow the viewer to decide. [3].

In 2005 the White House selected Tony Snow from Fox News to be the new White House press secretary which was a great honor for Fox because it showed how well it was presenting the real truth instead of the fake liberal version. [4]

The project was founded by Andrew Schlafly, the son of conservative commentator Phyllis Schlafly, in response to a claimed anti-Christian and anti-American bias in the articles of Wikipedia. According to recent stories about the site, Conservapedia originated from a project by homeschooled children, with many of its entries created by teenagers as part of a school assignment.[1] In addition to its role as an encyclopedia, conservapedia is also used by Andrew Schlafly's Eagle Forum University. Material for various online courses, for example, on American History, is stored on the site. [2][3][4] Eagle Forum University is associated with Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum.[2]

Accumulate and classify. That's all science is about? Andrew Schaffly is running a real center of scholarship, he is.
