Description
A Storehouse of Knowledge or aSK is a general encyclopædia with a biblical worldview. It was founded by former (disillusionedsee note) Conservapedia sysop Philip J Rayment. We wait to see if the new wiki will be similar or different from Conservapedia. It began on 22nd March 2009.
Note:
- Philip J Rayment about Conservapedia: "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." [1]
The wiki is small but growing fast with the help of many RationalWikians who are trying to add some RationalWiki sense and logic though a few have been trolling. RationalWiki has an article on A Storehouse of Knowledge [2] and details current events there [3].
It appears there was quite a bit of money spent to get the wiki well designed and someone thought of a really good name for it. aSK can't compete with the lavish design that the Schlafly family paid for at Conservapedia but its supporters probably think aSK makes up for that by being more reasonable.
