They're not even trying to shoehorn their "theories" into a scientific framework anymore. Just lard it with Biblical assertions, call it scientific, and they're done.

Their take on the newly-discovered Flores Man:
Three-foot tall individuals do not mean an evolutionary throwback. We have humans today of a reduce stature (dwarfs). Furthermore, evidence from Indonesia indicates that Flores Man could organize hunts, make stone tools and had the ability to make fire.

This guy doesn't seem to be aware that dwarves aren't proportionately small, their heads and torsos are comparable to full-sized adults. Nor do they have 1/4 to 1/3 normal brain sizes. Yech.
