User:Sid/Popularity of Evolution

This page originally appeared on CP.I didn't update anything yet. Okay, so Andy has said that cp:Theory of evolution is popular, and that that means that many people visit the article because it's so terribly awesome.

So. If it's so awesome and great, there are surely sources that say "Hey, the Evolution article on Conservapedia is cool! Go check it out!"

This is my attempt to find some of these sources.

I did a simple Google search for Conservapedia Evolution and checked the results. It's a fairly good method of determining who points to it. Not complete, but I'm not aware of a less biased or more reliable method right now. Thus, my starting point has been this page. I'll only focus on articles that actually mention the Evolution article itself (and not, for example, the cp:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia page with its references to evolution). Order of sections is based on the Google rank - first section here had the highest rank.

Feel free to comment on the Talk page.

Two links to comments for the entry "Conservapedia: 'Evolution has been largely discredited, though it is still taught in schools due to activist judges.'". Checking all comments shows:

It should be noted that Reddit's results rank higher than the Conservapedia entry for Evolution.

This article is just a mirror of the Chicago Tribune article that was featured on the Conservapedia Main Page a few days ago.

These were the first two results pages on Google. The number of positive comments about the evolution article is ZERO.

I'll take "Things that make you go Hmmmm..." for 800, Alex.
