==Criticisms== | |||
The Young Earth Creationist position of Conservapedia is considered unscientific. Articles about Political Liberals are considered defamatory. The site is considered unobjective generally. Conservapedia is accused of being basically Andrew Schlafly's blog. The site is partly aimed at homeschooled children from fundamentalist Christian homes. Such children are unlikely to see where Conservapedia is considered out of touch with reality. Conservapedia is also aimed at adult American fundamentalist Christians who are discouraged from getting information outside their narrow Christian viewpoint and may not see any problems with Conservapedia. The site has spawnd another site, [[RationalWiki]], dedicated to disputing the viewpoints presented by Conservapedia. [[Liberapedia]] was also partly formed to oppose Conservapedia. | |||
