Overcompensationology
Creation Science has its own system for classification of species!
It's comforting to see that they've stuck with the division of the human species into the good ol' triumvirate: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid.
(I trust that my readers, all 3 of them, can detect sarcasm when intended.)
More from Conservapedia:
Wikipedia often uses foreign spelling of words, even though most English-speaking users are American. Look up "Most Favored Nation" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts the spelling to the British spelling "Most Favoured Nation." Look up "Division of labor" on Wikipedia and it automatically converts to the British spelling "Division of labour," then insists on the British spelling for "specialization" also.[9] Enter "Hapsburg" (the European ruling family) and Wikipedia automatically changes the spelling to Habsburg, even though the American spelling has always been "Hapsburg". Within entries British spellings appear in the silliest of places, even when the topic is American. Conservapedia favors American spellings of words.
Sigh. Of course it's totally outrageous for a website with no national affiliations to use inconsistent spellings according to the nationality of the entry's writer. I'd think the more salient complaint would be the number of simple misspellings and typos. And don't even get me started on the Hapsburg/Habsburg issue....

This is bizarre! Non-crazy people who are conservatives must be particularly insulted by the existence of this little piece of dadaism on the internet.
