Someone had this website cited
in another post. I looked at it and I really can not tell if it is satire or real. This is a serious question. There is one creation-science project where a girl puts the 'stuff of life' in a jar overnite and the next morning no life happened. I burst out laughing. But looking at the sidebars, it looks like this is a serious site.
If anyone is familiar with it can you clear it up for me?

2. Silly and sad. She prayed for no miracle. She got it.No miracle. God
gives miracles everyday but the very people who could be showing her the miracles of life and science are closing her eyes.

3. WTF? So are these kids aiming for college?

I especially like the first place winner: My uncle is a man named Steve not a monkey. After looking at the picture of Steve, I would've given her an incomplete. She needs to reassess her conclusion. He sure does look like a monkey to me!

4. ome on; got to be a joke
1st Place: "My Uncle Is A Man Named Steve (Not A Monkey)"
Cassidy Turnbull (grade 5) presented her uncle, Steve. She also showed photographs of monkeys and invited fairgoers to note the differences between her uncle and the monkeys. She tried to feed her uncle bananas, but he declined to eat them. Cassidy has conclusively shown that her uncle is no monkey.

5. I think there was some animal abuse going on, too
If you check out the headline further down the page- "Maximal Packing Of Rodentia Kinds: A Feasibility Study"-they talk about rodents being caged for 30 days and nights ... all Rodentia were able to move just enough to ward off muscle atrophy.....and then surviving long enough afterward to reproduce.

Hmmmm...sounds like something PETA should be told about!!!

7. This appears to be a hoax site to some who have investigated it:
http://www.bouzou.com/culture/present/sciencefair.html

"Is this site, Creation Science Fair, an elaborate hoax in the same vein as Penguin Warehouse or Dog Island? The people and places mentioned on the site (Dr. Richard Paley, Marian County, Fellowship University) cannot be found except on this site. It is very, very over the top. Objective: Christian Ministries is the same site that claimed Macintosh computers were satanic. That site also went on a tear about a heresy called triclavianism.


One theory: it is actually a publicity stunt for the parody site, Landover Baptist,. It may also be a troll (as in flamebait). The blog, Lipstick Librarian, gives some of the reasons for thinking it is a hoax. The Mac thing really got some people riled up and Applelinks Web site presents evidence of the site's bogusness. About.com has checked in with its opinion of the site's hoaxicity. I did not find anything on the Web that corroborated that Objective: Christian Ministries was in fact, authentic."


It does sound a bit crazy to be true, but given the claims of some fundis, only a bit. A great page though.
