It's getting hard to lampoon this stuff. They're lampooning themselves.

Check out their explanation for constellations:

Our last assumption is that if God made the constellations for the gospel reason, then a figure should reflect what its name suggests. That assumption is flatly denied today. Indeed, textbooks on the constellations flatly state that the signs do not reflect what their names signify. The main reason why such a statement can pass as fact today is because of the widespread belief in the myth of evolution. Since evolution says we’re evolving for the better, and that each generation is physically superior to the former, it follows that if we are not visually acute enough to see the forms, certainly the vision of our grunt-and-groan troglodyte ancestors could not possibly be superior ours today. Our position is that since Adam was closer to the moment of creation, his vision was superior to anyone living today. We assume simplification (the antonym of evolution) over time. That is, we assume that the second law of thermodynamics is in effect. On that basis, we conservatively assume that our ancestors could perceive stars down to magnitude 6, whereas the limiting magnitude for the modern eye is around 5.2

Another sample:

Entropy and the New World Order

This paper shows that a humanistic government violates the second law of thermodynamics and must collapse on itself with the most likely scenario that 39% of the world's resources and population will be destroyed each time it is attemped.

If I read this right, they're saying the astrological names of the constellations are biblically correct and that it's all because of evolution that we think that they are just mythological names. Priceless.
