Creationist stunt features tired old arguments

Creationists practice recycling to a degree that surpasses even the most ardent environmentalists. We aren't talking about aluminum cans or newsprint, we are talking about ideas. It is very rare that creationists say anything these days that hasn't been repeated ad nauseum for many decades.
