:::::::Andy, isn't the whole philosophical underpinning of a wiki that collaboration and consensus lead us closer to some kind of truth?  In your interview, you said something along the lines of "the best of the public" engages in a "process that brings out the best," and "the truth rises to the top."  Isn't this a form of consensus-making?  You also likened the process to a jury decision, which is also a process of consensus-making.  So, what do you mean when you when you say that someone needs "to respect logic more if [s/he] think[s] consensus establishes truth?"  Also, since the discussion here seems to hinge on people demanding "proof" from other people, could you provide proof that the Bible is the most logical book ever written?  By what standards do you judge logic?  Have you read every single book in existence in order to come to your conclusion? --[[User:WideAngle|WideAngle]] 12:27, 11 December 2009 (EST)

::::::::The straight scientific ''"consensus"'' on the shape of the earth in 1491 was that it was flat.  Was that a right or a wrong consensus?  And yes, the Bible is the most logical book evr written; by what standards do you think it's not?  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 13:00, 11 December 2009 (EST)

:::::::::Don't be silly, the ancient Greeks knew the earth was (roughly) spherical. No-one of any repute considered it flat at that time - that's an urban myth. [[User:GrahamGore|GrahamGore]] 13:17, 11 December 2009 (EST)

It's nice to finally have all of the fallacy, racism, sexism, and homophobia in one easily accessible place. I think my favorite thing about Conservapedia is the use of the Bible in what seems like every article (I haven't read every article so perhaps this is a gross generalization. But when it comes to, say, immigration is the Bible really the best source?) I will probably be using this website when I have to write papers on current situations. It will be a lot easier to just come here than to have to seek out the few religious right wingers I know for a quote. {{unsigned|Writerfish}}
