A lot of what they post is typical paranoid delusional pseudoscience junk that supports their claims.

However they also have some real science such as this <a href="http://www.nature.com/nsu/020107/020107-2.html" target="_blank">New Technology Involving Light</a> thrown in. I'm guessing that in some twisted way they feel that stories like this hold some tidbit that they can use. What's their game?

I suspect that they will use it to prove that the speed of light isn't as constant as those silly evolutionists think, so it did travel all that way from Sirius in 6000 years after all.

Um, Sirius is listed in my charts as 8.60 +/- 0.04 light years.

On the other hand, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is about 2.9 Million light years, is visible to the naked eye, and makes a better example.

Doh! Brain malfunction there.

Still, Sirius is easier to spell.
