Well .. there's more. Sunday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution tells us about another website, this one run by Andrew Schlafly, the son of Phyllis Schlafly. Conservapedia pushes the creationism theme with revelations that dinosaurs and humans roamed the Earth at the same time.[video] You'll also learn that atheism has led to a large increase in bestiality. But once again you'll learn that not only is the Earth standing still, but it's actually flat ... and sitting still in space while everything revolves around it.

I'm not sure about the first two allegations, but here is what Conservapedia has to say about earth:

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Its equatorial circumference (measured around the equator) is 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers), and the polar circumference is slightly less at 24,809 miles (40,008 km).[1] The reason its metric circumference is so close to the "round number" of 40,000 is that the French defined the kilometer as 1/10,000th the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The Earth orbits at an average distance of about 93 million miles (150 million km) from the Sun in an almost circular orbit

It looks like conservapedia believes in a spherical earth that rotates around the sun just like the rest of us.
