Conservapedia, of course, claims to be a Wikipedia alternative, with a similar look but refreshingly free of the sinister liberal influence of "facts".

Thus Andy took it upon himself to attack the findings of a microbiologist who had published his findings in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. This in spite of the fact that Andy has no training whatsoever in science.

Andy had written a starchy letter demanding more proof of Dr. Lenski's findings. Lenski politely wrote back to say that everything Schlafly was asking for was in the paper. Schlafly wrote again, telling Lenski that his work was supported by taxpayer funding and that he'd better turn over all of his files for examination -- by Shlafly himself, of course, who is in fact a lawyer, not a scientist.

But what really grated Lenski's cheese was the fact that Schlafly had clearly not read the actual paper that Lenski had published. He was going by newspaper reports and rumors on Schlafly's own web site. So Lenski wasn't exactly the Good Humor man when he responded:

First, it seems that reading might not be your strongest suit given your initial letter, which showed that you had not read our paper, and given subsequent conversations with your followers, in which you wrote that you still had not bothered to read our paper. You wrote: “I did skim Lenski’s paper …” If you have not even read the original paper, how do you have any basis of understanding from which to question, much less criticize, the data that are presented therein?

Second, your capacity to misinterpret and/or misrepresent facts is plain in the third request in your first letter, where you said: “In addition, there is skepticism that 3 new and useful proteins appeared in the colony around generation 20,000.” That statement was followed by a link to a news article from NewScientist that briefly reported on our work. I assumed you had simply misunderstood that article, because there is not even a mention of proteins anywhere in the news article. As I replied, “We make no such claim anywhere in our paper, nor do I think it is correct. Proteins do not ‘appear out of the blue’, in any case.” So where did your confused assertion come from?

Do you even need to ask, egghead? Andy's confused assertions come straight out of his ass; that's where he gets most of his beliefs.

But of course, Andy felt he had his opponent on the ropes, so now he's threatening a lawsuit, in spite of the fact that he has (still) never read the actual paper he is challenging.
