Changed my mind, it's a lampoon site. Hah, fooled me...
It's a satire in the most classic sense, like Jonathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal." You take a half-baked thesis, e.g. Intelligent Design, and carry it through, straight-faced, to its final absurdity. Sheesh!

The problem is that "half baked" thesiss, like Intelligent Design, are being presented to the public with straight faced seriousness. The gravity thesis you posted make perfect sense in that context. Reality has reached the absurd position formally occupied by satire.
"Things fall not because they are acted upon by some gravitational force, but because a higher intelligence, 'God' if you will, is pushing them down," said Gabriel Burdett, who holds degrees in education, applied Scripture, and physics from Oral Roberts University. "
Huh???
So, "GOD" (if you will) doesn't push so hard on Mars?
How can anyone take these people seriously?
