==Thought of the Day==
 
 
''[[Black Beauty]]'' is as much a tract against cruelty to animals as ''[[Uncle Tom's Cabin]]'' is a tract against [[slavery]]. Both stories are, in essence, tracts in literary form. The attraction of ''Black Beauty'' is that the character of the horse is so appealing to children that they may barely notice the political message. The message of ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' is harder to miss, unless you're deliberately ignoring it. [[Abraham Lincoln]] credited it with doing more than almost anything else to win the [[Civil War]].
 
 
It is only modern agitators who overlook the central message of ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' in their haste to condemn the "servile" character of [[Uncle Tom]]. People who don't know about the "Glad Game" in ''[[Pollyanna]]'' use her name as a type of person who is unreasonably [[optimism|optimistic]], while the heroine of the book actually would search quite realistically for the silver lining to each dark cloud who came her way. She never pretended everything was okay when it wasn't but made the best of each situation.

Newton.png

Sir Isaac Newton (1634-1727) was an English physicist, astronomer, mathematician, theologian, alchemist, and government official. He is known as one of the greatest scientists in world history for his Theory of Universal Gravitation, his Laws of Motion, and his theories in optics, as well as the co-invention of calculus (with Leibniz). In addition, Newton invented the reflecting telescope, and made numerous other contributions to his fields of study. His Classical mechanics comprises of the four main fields of modern physics (alongside the later fields of electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics).

Article of the Year: Evolution

Darwin monkey cartoon.jpg

In 2006, the prestigious science journal Science reported concerning the United States: "The percentage of people in the country who accept the idea of evolution has declined from 45 in 1985 to 40 in 2005. Meanwhile the fraction of Americans unsure about evolution has soared from 7 per cent in 1985 to 21 per cent last year."[10]

  • "Gallup's analysis says religiosity outweighs educational level in shaping views on evolution." (USN)

Discover what Wikipedia, the public school systems, and the liberal media don't want you to know about the creation vs. evolution issue.

Conservapedia's Highlighted Article

Conservapedia's highlighted article is Richard Dawkins.

A study reported that the liberal media is biased towards pro-atheism coverage.[11] Do you want to know what the liberal media is not reporting about evolutionist and atheist Richard Dawkins? Please examine Conservapedia's Richard Dawkins article!

Richard Dawkins and Public Debates

Message to Richard Dawkins: Dinesh D'Souza appears to find your recent behavior relative to public debates rather bizarre. D'Souza wrote: "To be honest, I find your behavior extremely bizarre. You go halfway around the world to chase down televangelists to outsmart them in an interview format that you control, but given several opportunities to engage the issues you profess to care about in a true spirit of open debate and inquiry, you duck and dodge and run away." [12] D'Souza further writes concerning you: "When he is confronted with history, philosophy, and logic, Dawkins seems to have very little to say."[13] Next, D'Souza appears to indicate that you are a "showman who takes on unprepared and unsuspecting opponents when you yourself control the editing, but when a strong opponent shows up you manufacture reasons to avoid him." [14] Lastly, D'Souza has written: "So why doth Dawkins languish in his corner, attended by sycophants? Tremble not, Sir Richard. 'Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant do taste of death but once.'"[15]

Mr. Dawkins, Conservapedia wishes to examine the above claims of Dinesh D'Souza. Could you please provide Conservapedia with a list of Christian or Jewish scholars you have publicly debated in the last 10 years? Conservapedia would be indebted to you if you could provide a list for our examination.

By the way, Mr. Dawkins, when are you going to accept Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's offer to a debate rematch (As you may recall, you debated Rabbi Boteach in 1996 and appeared to not fare very well)?[16][17] Conservapedians would truly love to see Rabbi Boteach pummel you a second time in a public debate! [18][19]

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

Evolutionary Racism of Hitler and Darwin

Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf was a work which contained evolutionary racism.[1] In his work Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote of "Monstrosities halfway between man and ape" and decried Christians going to "Central Africa" to set up "Negro missions," which Hitler stated resulted in the turning of "healthy . . . human beings into a rotten brood of bastards."[2] Adolf Hitler also wrote the following evolutionary racist statement in Mein Kampf: "The stronger must dominate and not blend with the weaker, thus sacrificing his own greatness. Only the born weakling can view this as cruel, but he, after all, is only a weak and limited man; for if this law did not prevail, any conceivable higher development (Hoherentwicklung) of organic living beings would be unthinkable."[3] Charles Darwin was also an evolutionary racist.[4][5] Prominent evolutionist Richard Dawkins stated: “What’s to prevent us from saying Hitler wasn’t right? I mean, that is a genuinely difficult question."[6]
