: I'm sorry I completely disagree. The fact that an encyclopedia is published has no bearing on its validity and studies have shown that many published encyclopedias have errors. If a student is to properly learn and understand the material they should follow the encyclopedia's citation to the original source, read that and then cite it. To do otherwise is poor academic behavior, and I would never submit a paper for publication with such a citation. If I read an academic paper that did cite an encyclopedia instead of the original source I would be very disappointed because it would show a failure to have investigated the original source.

::You don't seem to understand, that wasn't an opinion, it's a fact.  If you cite an encyclopedia in a college paper, you'll be fine.  Cite wikipedia (or Conservapedia, for that matter) and you'll be marked down.  Whether you think that's right or wrong, that's how it is.  [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 21:00, 13 December 2009 (EST)
    
Second, to Insufficient.  Why are you even here?  All you have done is debate on this page, even though you've admitted that you don't read the Bible.  It doesn't surprise me that your arguments are poorly formed and illogical, because you've never read the book which is the source of all logic and order.  I suggest you open your mind, take some time to go read the Bible, read some articles here on Conservapedia to learn what your liberal professors don't want you to know, and then come back and we can have some intelligent discussion.
