    In order to understand it you have to understand its creator: Andrew Schlafly: he’s an electrical engineer and lawyer and his mother is Phyllis Schlafly, a lawyer famous for her militant opposition to feminism and the Equal Rights Amendment, a proposed amendment to the constitution that reads:

    Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

    Phyllis wasn’t just some opponent of that amendment, no she was probably the primary reason it failed.

    In short: there’s no reason why that website should be in any way sane just as there’s no reason its founder should be in any way sane. He really likes to critique physics theories that he doesn’t understand by citing philosophy and theology.
