It is my well-researched opinion that the Mark of the Beast, as related in scripture, is absolutely literal. Soon, all people on earth will be coerced into accepting a Mark in their right hand or forehead. I am convinced that it will be an injectable passive RFID transponder with a computer chip — a literal injection with a literal electronic biochip 'mark'. . .I believe that such an implanted identification mark literally will become Satn's Mark of the Beast, as we will discuss further in this chapter."

News: What Would Jesus Wiki?

An alternative Wikipedia written by conservative Christians has become a major target of mockery on the web. Conservapedia, a wiki-based encyclopedia that offers the historical record from a conservative perspective, is attracting lots of derisive comments on blogs and a growing number of phony articles written by mischief makers.
Conservapedia "is a gold mine of unintentional hilarity," wrote Mark Frauenfelder on Boing Boing last Monday.
The Wonkette political blog encouraged its readers to contribute to "this fast-growing, Jeebus-and-America-friendly online resource." So did the ScienceBlogs network, which said, "There's much fun to be had."
Even conservative commentators like Andrew Sullivan are bemused.
Conservapedia brands itself on its main page as "a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American."
"The site is intended as a resource for the general audience, but without the defects of Wikipedia," says Conservapedia's project leader, Andy Schlafly, a conservative writer and attorney.
Schlafly argues that Wikipedia's content displays a liberal bias, and that the site is rife with so much gossip, vulgarity and long-winded writing that it has become unusable as an educational resource.
In fact, creating a conservative-minded online encyclopedia for students was Schlafly's prime motivation for launching Conservapedia. He started the site in late November 2006 in conjunction with 58 high-school-level, home-schooled students from the New Jersey area.

This sounds like a fun spot to visit when you need a laugh.
“Conservapedia's entry on kangaroos says that, "like all modern animals ... kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood."
It is amazing to me how humans of high intelligence can loose that “evolutionary” gift and revert back to their anthropological beginnings ;-) Just kidding guys!
Of course in 100 years when the world has passed the good ole USA by and history is discussing how and when our scientific demise started it may not be so funny for our great grand children. The history books will point to a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some new and unusual religious positions arose from nowhere which started us on our downfall. The introduction of a pseudo science appeared from books by Morris, Lindsey and Lahay which swept the USA off its feet and into the new “born again” golden age of medieval science. They will lament that before then America seemed poised to lead the world in science and discovery but eventually fell to the same end that other religious cultures such as the Muslim faith chose to follow thus rendering them a Dark Age civilization.
Have a good day ;-)

OK, OK, I know where they came from. But how did they GET to Australia???
It truly is a startling irony that adherents to a global flood must espouse an evolutionary theory so radical Darwin wouldn't have dreamed of it. Wild.
