A number of wikis have sprung into existence which attempt to present "facts" which are in accordance with the YEC world-view. These include CreationWiki and Conservapedia. In the case of CreationWiki they explicitly forbid editors to insert a scientific viewpoint. Conservapedia claims not to do this but manipulates its rules to the same end. In March 2009 a disgruntled CP editor, Philip J. Rayment, created his own wiki similarly dedicated to ignoring the truth, A Storehouse of Knowledge - it remains to be seen how science will be kept out of this project.
What do you need to ignore?
Let us consider the areas these wikis need to distort in order to shoehorn science into YEC. To be completely honest, you pretty much need to ignore the entire realm of science, but if you'd like some specific examples:
- Anthropology
- Astronomy
- Astrophysics
- Biochemistry and molecular biology
- Biology
- Cosmology
- Computer Science
- Automata theory and cellular automata applications: self-reproducing molecules are cellular automata which combine themselves using a few simple rules to cause emergent properties. If cellular automata (which are Turing-complete) are ignored, the entire corpus of computability theory has to be ignored.
- Geology
- Geomorphology
- Plate tectonics
- Petrology
- Stratigraphy
- Vulcanology
- Materials Science
- Meteorology
- Paleontology
- Physics
- Nuclear physics (due to the decay rates of certain isotopes)
- Hydrodynamics (Where did all that water go?)
Humanities
The following are more humanities than science, but they are included for the sake of completion, and to emphasize how retarded YEC is.
Is there anything left?
