<b>A Storehouse of Knowledge</b> or <b>aSK</b> is a general {{tag|Encyclopedia|encyclopædia}} that promotes biblical authoritarianism, including young-Earth creationism. It was founded by the former [[Conservapedia]] [[sysop]] Philip J Rayment, who is an {{tag|Australia}}n evangelical {{tag|Christianity|Christian}}. It began on 22 March {{tag|Founded in 2009|2009}}. | |||
The site-founder Philip J Rayment criticizes Conservapedia with this comment: "<i>However, it is not, and never will be, an encyclopaedia. It gives Christians, creationists, and conservatives a bad name by operating in ways that do not match Christian and conservative values. As long as it is like that (and it shows no signs of improving), I want it to fail.</i>" <small><i>[http://web.aanet.com.au/P_Rayment/Conservapedia/Problems.htm (from his personal website)]</i></small> | |||
