Apparently it's mostly a huge joke. It still saddens me to know some shit like this exists.

Look, until you can prove to me that the world is not a disc being moved through the universe on the back of a turtle, gtfo

didn't read any of it, but my guess is that they intend it as satire of new-Earth Creationism.
