By coincidence, Conservapedia just got
a mention at New Scientist. They (CP, not NS) not only deny evolution, but also deny relativity, the E = MC2 business.
Quote:
a page on the site titled "Counterexamples to relativity". It says: "The theory of relativity is a mathematical system that allows no exceptions. It is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to mislead people in how they view the world."
In a footnote, this comment is followed up by: "Virtually no one who is taught and believes relativity continues to read the Bible, a book that outsells New York Times bestsellers by a hundred-fold."
SNIP
Read further and you will find this astonishing piece of information, clearly the smoking gun of the Einsteinian liberal conspiracy: "Barack Obama helped publish an article by liberal law professor Laurence Tribe to apply the relativistic concept of 'curvature of space' to promote a broad legal right to abortion".

Which is kind of true, although grossly misrepresented.. At the time, BHO was the editor of the journal, and thanks were SOP. The argument in the journal uses relativity as a metaphor or analogy for how every action affects things around it.
Classic, Lookout, even UG, are conservatives. These people are just idiots.
