Gabriel: /* Vandalism concern by Tsumetai */

Hello. This site looks great. i'm fed up with npov on wikipedia, when we ALL know THE TRUTH. little children shouldn't have to read that someone isnt a terrorist when we know they are.

Please don't vandalize our articles. If you persist in doing so, you will be blocked. [[User:Tsumetai|Tsumetai]] 12:53, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

What was vandalism? i'm confused, i havent vandalized, I've just put true things in articles. I thought this was meant to be a proper site were we could write the truth, not like Wikipedia with its liberal, atheirst bias. Or are you a liberal atheist? [[User:Gabriel|Gabriel]] 13:02, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

:Don't give me it. You're not even a particularly good parody. You can contribute constructively, or you can leave. Your call. [[User:Tsumetai|Tsumetai]] 13:10, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

A parody at waht? this is just like wikipedia again, stick to your liberal bias "truth" or get banned. i pray you see the TRUTH soon. [[User:Gabriel|Gabriel]] 13:17, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

:Here's a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|list of sysops]]; feel free to take it up with one of them, since I have to step out for a bit. [[User:Tsumetai|Tsumetai]] 13:28, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

== Vandalism concern by Tsumetai ==

Regarding your [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=57483 comments] on [[Talk:Main Page]], I think Tsumetai may have been referring to [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Bird&diff=prev&oldid=55514 this], or [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Germ_theory_of_disease&diff=prev&oldid=57409 this], or [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Vaccine&diff=prev&oldid=57401 this]. The first two definitely violate commandment six, since they do not cite any sources and are obviously opinionated. The third is the removal of valid information (cases of Chicken Pox have dropped around 80% since the introduction of the vaccine). I hope this clears things up for you. Thanks! --[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']][[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]] 13:48, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Thank you thats much clearer. why didn't Tsumetai say that? I thought being opinionated was ok, as long as it was true opinion. the bird thing did have a source it was the Bible. i will do some thinking. [[User:Gabriel|Gabriel]] 16:00, 22 March 2007 (EDT)

Hi MountainDew -- a note to let you know that the version of [[Judaism]] which you protected is an innacurate one, filled to rants by someone who subscribes to the widely discredited [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Identity Christian Identity] school of racist thinking which goes so far as to reject the notion that the Jews of today even *are* Jews, and says they are descended from Satan.

Germ theory of disease

2007-03-22T16:52:02Z

Gabriel: Put some TRUTH in

The '''Germ theory of disease''', developed in the 1860s and 1870s by [[Louis Pasteur]], states that [[microorganisms|tiny "living beings"]] are the cause of infectious diseases. [http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/biol2007.htm#sta20005.htm#microorganism] Like evilution, it is just a theory and not a fact. We don't now if it's true. It isn't prooved.
Pasteur's proof of this theory involved the first scientific experiment to falsify a hypothesis, ushering an era of scientific medicine.

He showed that the theory of [[spontaneous generation]] was false, by placing one piece of meat under a glass jar and another in an open dish. He observed flies landing on the exposed meat, but of course flies could not penetrate the glass jar. Flies did not come out of nothing, but from eggs deposited by flies which he could easily see landing on the exposed meat.

The theory that bacteria (and later, viruses) cause disease eventually became a corner of modern medicine, but first it faced an uphill battle.
The idea that infection could be spread by invisible substances was oppsed vigorously by doctors in Vienna when proposed by [[Ignaz Semmelweis]]. He reduced the incidence of mothers dying after childbirth from infection from 20% to near-zero, but other doctors resisted his efforts and got him fired. This is because the idea of tiny, invisible, living things designed to make people ill is really unlikely.

Only after the germ theory was championed by Pasteur (see [[pasteurization]]) and Lister (namesake of [[Listerine]] mouthwash) did [[antiseptic medicine]] become popular.

Prior to germ theory, it was widely believed that disease was spread by smell.{{cn}} As disease-spreading conditions - rotting meat, open sewage, and such things - was often highly odorous, the smell and disease were associated. Disease was also often attributed to demonic influence - although demonic posession must exist as it it mentioned in Scripture<ref>Mark 5:1-13</ref>, it is a rare occurance, and almost all disease attributed to it was a result of other causes.

The [[Christian Scientist]] sect, founded by [[Mary Baker Eddy]], believes that the Germ Theory of Disease is not true and that it is contradicted by Scripture.<ref>http://www.spirituality.com/tte/article_display.jhtml?ElementId=/repositories/shcomarticle/Feb2006/1140106869.xml</ref> God created all life, and so all life should reflect His glory and inherent goodness - God could not have created pathogenic organisms, as these are inherently contary to His nature. Also, he wouldn't punish good, GOD-fearing people by sending disease, so ill people must have done something wrong.

Vaccine

2007-03-22T16:43:17Z

Gabriel: Remove chicken pox, because it is still common and people don't get a vaccine

A weakened or inactive version of a [[pathogen]] that stimulates the body's production of [[antibodies]] which can destroy the pathogen.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With General Science''. Anderson: Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc.

2000</ref>. Historical examples of successful vaccination programs include those for smallpox and polio. Recently, vaccines have been used to deal with sexually transmitted diseases such as the [[HPV]] virus. Some Christian groups have objected to the use of such vaccines on the belief that it will encourage promiscuity in children. Others say that trying to prevent a disease that GOD sends is interfering with the divine order. That is why some people who receive vaccines die.

Since doctors began using vaccines, however, many diseases have been curbed. [[Polio]], for example, killed over 3,000 people in the United States in 1952 [http://www.http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsus/VSUS_1952_2.pdf], and inflicted such noted persons as President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], actor [[Alan Alda]], and musician [[Itzak Perlman]]. When doctors began using a vaccine to fight polio, it practically erradicated the disease in the developed world.

Other diseases that have been curbed since the invention of vaccines include [[smallpox]] (previously a yearly killer of thousands worldwide), [[measles]], [[mumps]], [[rubella]], and [[typhoid]].

Bird

2007-03-21T22:45:19Z

Gabriel: Add some facts

Birds are normally featherd and flying animals. Ostriches, penguins, and emus are birds that don't fly. Robins, sparrows, and the Bald Eagle are more typical flying birds. God created them on the fifth day of the universe.<ref>The Bible, Book of Genesis</ref> Birds lay [[egg]]s.

== Creationist Scientists Perspective ==

Creationist scientists also contend that birds being descendants of dinosaurs is unreasonable and is also not scientifically supported with any evidence. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/re1/chapter4.asp</ref><ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v26/i1/planes.asp</ref> Scientists who say they have evidence are blinded by the lies of those who try to undermine the church.

In addition, creationists cite the current online World Book Encyclopedia which states:

"No fossil of any such birdlike reptile has yet been found." <ref>http://creationwiki.org/Fossil_record_quotes</ref><ref>http://www.worldbookonline.com/wb/Students?content_spotlight/dinosaurs/creatures_birds</ref>

Creationist scientists Dr. [[Jonathon Safarti]] wrote regarding dinosaurs being descendants of birds:

<blockquote style="background: #F9F9F9; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA; padding: .3em;">
The same logic applies to the [[dinosaur]]-bird debate. It is perfectly in order for creationists to cite [[Alan Feduccia|Feduccia]]’s devastating criticism against the idea that birds evolved ‘ground up’ from running dinosaurs (the cursorial theory). But the dino-to-bird advocates counter with equally powerful arguments against Feduccia’s ‘trees-down’ (arboreal) theory. The evidence indicates that the critics are ''both'' right — birds did not evolve either from running dinos or from tree-living mini-crocodiles. In fact, birds did not evolve from non-birds at all!
<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/news/scientific_american.asp</ref>
</blockquote>

Creationists also cite the evolutionist [[Ernst Mayr]] who in 1942 stated the following:

“It must be admitted, however, that it is a considerable strain on one’s credulity to assume that finely balanced systems such as certain sense organs (the eye of vertebrates, or the bird’s feather) could be improved by random mutations." <ref>http://www.creationscience.com/onlinebook/ReferencesandNotes10.html</ref>

Creationist scientists also cite the March 2003 issue of Scientific American which stated:

<blockquote style="background: #F9F9F9; border: 1px solid #AAAAAA; padding: .3em;">
"Of all the body coverings nature has designed, feathers are the most various and the most mysterious...The origin of feathers is a specific instance of the much more general question of the origin of evolutionary novelties--structures that have no clear antecedents in ancestral animals and no clear related structures (homologues) in contemporary relatives. Although evolutionary theory provides a robust explanation for the appearance of minor variations in the size and shape of creatures and their component parts, it does not yet give as much guidance for understanding the emergence of entirely new structures, including digits, limbs, eyes and feathers'''...." <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2003/0313sciam.asp</ref><ref>http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=000CD7F6-B16F-1E41-89E0809EC588EEDF</ref>
</blockquote>

Creationist scientists also assert that the comparative anatomy analysis done by evolutionists comparing bird bones and dinosaur bones is flawed. <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2005/0328discovery.asp</ref>

United States of America

2007-03-21T22:30:46Z

Gabriel: We don't need NPOV, right?

The '''United States of America''' (commonly referred to as The United States) was founded in on July 4, 1776 with the signing of the [[Declaration of Independence]]. It is widely considered the most powerful, most enlightened and most influential nation ever to exist on Earth. [[George Washington]], [[Thomas Jefferson]], and other [[Founding Fathers]] formally established the United States by the ratification of the [[U.S. Constitution]] in 1788 A.D. Since the presidency of [[John Quincy Adams]] the United States has been governed by one of two [[political parties]] in a [[republic]] increasingly tending towards [[democracy]] as the [[franchise]] has expanded. The younger of the two existing major parties, the [[Republican Party]], was created in 1854. Between independence in 1776 and ratification of the [[Constitution]] in 1788, the United States' governing documents included the [[Articles of Confederation]] and the [[Declaration of Independence]] itself.

The Declaration of Independence acknowledges the existence of a [[God]] when it refers to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and says all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," though the latter statement was made by [[Thomas Jefferson]], who's religious beliefs had far more in common with Unitarianism then traditional christianity. Some Christians argued that since many of the Founding Fathers were Christians (although the majority of them could actually be qualified as Diests) and that, explicitly or not, the United States was founded upon the principles and ideals of Christianity. However, the freedom of religion (stating that the government cannot interfere in the conduct of religious groups) is a fundamental aspect of the [[First Amendment]] to the Constitution, which is the primary justification for the speration of church and state. This speration is a continueing source of conflict in American society. This [[Free Exercise Clause]] of the Amendment began increasingly to be tested and interpreted by the [[judiciary]] in the late 19th century as a result of the increasing population of religious [[minorities]] in the United States.

==History & Geography==

In 1783, when the [[Peace of Paris]] concluded hostilities against [[Great Britain]], the former [[colonial power]], the United States' population totaled some three million [[citizens]] and [[slaves]] living on slightly less than one million square miles of land. An unknown number of [[Native Americans]] also lived in the western part of the United States, which was then bordered on the west by the [[Mississippi River]], on the north by [[Lake Superior]], [[Lake Huron]], [[Lake Erie]] and [[Lake Ontario]], on the east by the [[Atlantic Ocean]], and on the south by [[Florida]], then controlled by [[Spain]]. The land border with [[Canada]] was not clarified until the [[Rush-Bagot Agreement]] of 1816.

The majority of the taxable population lived in the thirteen original [[states]]. In alphabetical order they are [[Connecticut]], [[Delaware]], [[Georgia]], [[Maryland]], [[Massachusetts]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New Jersey]], [[New York]], [[North Carolina]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[Rhode Island]], [[South Carolina]] and [[Virginia]]. In 1790, an agreement between supporters of Jefferson and those of [[Alexander Hamilton]] resulted in the creation of the [[District of Columbia]] from part of [[Maryland]]; it has served as the national capital from 1800 on. The remainder of the 1783 territory was eventually organized as the states of [[Ohio]], [[Indiana]], [[Michigan]], [[Illinois]], [[Wisconsin]], [[Kentucky]], [[Tennessee]], [[Mississippi]] and [[Alabama]]. Two additional states were added during the first fifty years by [[secession]] from existing states: [[Vermont]] from New York, and [[Maine]] from Massachusetts. After that, the legality of [[secession]] became an issue.

In 1803, [[French]] emperor [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] took advantage of a lull in his war with Great Britain to sell the [[Louisiana Territory]] to the United States, more than doubling the nation's land area. This territory would later be organized as the states of [[Minnesota]], [[North Dakota]], [[South Dakota]], [[Montana]], [[Wyoming]], [[Nebraska]], [[Iowa]], [[Missouri]], [[Arkansas]], [[Kansas]], [[Oklahoma]], and [[Louisiana]] proper.

[[Florida]] and [[Texas]] joined the United States as a result of [[revolutions]] by settlers from the United States against their central governments. Florida's was fought in 1810, while the much better remembered [[Texas Revolution]] was fought in 1836. While Spain was willing to cut its losses in Florida and relinquished any claims on the state in the [[Adams-Oniz Agreement]] of 1819, one of the successors to its empire in the Americas, [[Mexico]], was considerably more attached to Texas and fought the [[Mexican War]] between 1846 and 1848 to reverse its annexation by the United States. Losing badly, Mexico was forced to cede the sparsely populated northern portion of itself under the [[Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo]]. This territory eventually became the states of [[California]], [[Nevada]], [[Utah]], [[Colorado]], [[New Mexico]] and [[Arizona]]. At approximately the same time, [[President]] [[James K. Polk]] had agreed with the British that the 49th Parallel (degree of latitude) would serve as the boundary between the U. S. and Canada from [[Lake of the Woods]] (partially in Minnesota) to the [[Pacific Ocean]]. This territory was later organized as the states of [[Washington]], [[Oregon]] and [[Idaho]].

In 1867, [[Secretary of State]] [[William Seward]] purchased [[Alaska]] from [[Russia]]. Alaska is the westernmost extremity of [[North America]] bounded on the east by Canada, on the south by the Pacific Ocean, on the west by the [[Bering Strait]] and on the north by the [[Arctic Ocean]]. At $7,000,000, Alaska cost the United States considerably less per acre than the [[Mexican Cession]] and slightly less than the Louisiana Territory. Of course, [[inflation]] was less of a factor at this time due to the world [[economy]] still being principally [[agrarian]]. Although at the time it was considered a foolish bargain, Alaska would later become a large source of economic prosperity due to large gold, oil, and other natural resources. Alaska would not be admitted as a state until 1959.

The 50th and so far final state, [[Hawaii]], was admitted in 1960, 67 years after other American settlers deposed the last native [[queen]] of the archipelago and 62 years after annexation had become politically feasible as a result of the [[Spanish-American War]], in which the United States also annexed [[Puerto Rico]], [[Guam]] and [[Wake Island]]. The last three islands are not states, although [[Puerto Rico]] has occasionally held non-binding [[referenda]] to express its desired status within the United States.

The United States has occasionally relinquished territory. The most significant example of this was certainly the granting of independence in 1946 to the [[Phillipines]] as part of the general [[decolonization]] of [[Asia]] and [[Africa]] following [[World War II]]. Under both [[autocratic]] and [[democratic]] governments, the Phillipines have subsequently remained a strong American ally, and today contribute more troops to the U. S. [[military]] than some states. Other Pacific territories such as the [[Federated States of Micronesia]] and [[Palau]] have also become independent in the postwar era with little objection from opinion leaders on the mainland. More controversial was the 1977 agreement between President [[Jimmy Carter]] and [[General]] [[Omar Torrijos]] to return the [[Panama Canal Zone]], which had been part of the United States since 1914, to [[Panama]] in the year 2000. Ultimately the United States lived up to this agreement despite the worst fears of both [[liberals]] (who decried [[Operation Just Cause]], the 1989 invasion of Panama) and [[conservatives]] (who feared the management of the [[Panama Canal]] by [[Chinese]] interests).

French fries

2007-03-21T22:25:15Z

Gabriel: /* Freedom fries */ i put in some stuff about renaming things

French fries are a food made from [[potato]]es. They are very popular in [[America]]. French fries are often eaten with the addition of [[ketchup]], as many believe that this improves the flavor.

=== Freedom fries ===

Near the start of the [[Iraq War]], a wave of anti-French sentiment briefly swept the United States over [[France]]'s refusal to join or support the U.S.-led coalition. As a protest against France, for a while the Congressional cafeteria refused to use the name "French fries," serving them under the substitute name "Freedom fries".<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,80700,00.html</ref><ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1491567,00.html</ref>
Representatives Bob Ney (R-OH) and Walter Jones (R-NC) were responsible for declaring that all references to "French" in the United States House of Representatives' restaurants and snack bars be removed. Said Ney after personally changing the signs in the House cafeteria, "Once again, our brave men and women in the American military are putting their lives on the line to ensure the freedom and security of others, and once again, France is sitting on the sidelines."

This was similar to other times when foods were renamed because they contained the name of a country that we were at war with. For example, during the first world war sauerkraut was renamed liberty cabbage and daschunds liberty hounds. <ref>http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/database/article_display.cfm?HHID=531</ref> Also, in britain, german sheperds were renamed alsations.

The French responded only by pointing out that French fries originate in Belgium. A spokeswoman (Nathalie Loisau) said, "We are at a very serious moment dealing with very serious issues and we are not focusing on the name you give to potatoes."

Capitol Hill, however, reverted to the "French" label in 2006.<ref>http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20060802-125318-3981r.htm</ref>
