Whilst on my way to my favorite den of iniquity, I happened to stop off by Creationwiki. Now, I knew about Creationwiki but I'd never paid a lot attention to it, and I thought that it might be enlightening to find out a little more.
Well, it was indeed enlightening, yes. There hasn't been that much booshwah put forth in one place since Christ was a carpenter. Fer 'xample, the Behemoth entry: There is a graphic descriptions of an animal in the Bible that may be a dinosaur, the Behemoth is described as an immense land animal, which is believed by some creationists to be a Sauropod.
Job 40:15-24 Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him. When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth. Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose?
In the first edition of the King James Bible (1611), and the earlier Geneva Bible (1599), a marginal note said Behemoth may be an elephant. By the 1800s several commentators had realized the description in Job didn't match an elephant.

And that ain't even the best of it: Recent dinosaur
From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
Most creationists believe that dinosaurs coexisted with mankind on Earth and lived recently. Biblical support for this perspectives is drawn from the Genesis 1 where it states that all animals were created on the sixth day of creation along with humans. It is furthermore presumed they were still alive at the time of the global flood and taken on board Noah's ark.
There is much evidence that dinosaurs existed very recently and coexisted with mankind. Prehistoric cave paintings and carvings have been found illustrating first-hand knowledge of these creatures by early humans. Dinosaur tracks have been found alongside human tracks. Dinosaur bones have also been found that is unfossilized with soft tissues still present indicating recent burial.

Unfortunately many, even most of their topics are woefully incomplete and many of their claims have been debunked, like the dino/human tracks, for example. But I for one, hope they get their shit together because Creationwiki has the potential to become the best piece of humorous fiction on the web.
