Take Back Earth Day—For God!

The organization known as Creation Science Evangelism (or CSE) describes itself as a "leading Christian-apologetics ministry, defending the literal interpretation of the Genesis creation account from the theory of evolution...an international ministry with some of the most requested resources on the topics of creation, evolution, dinosaurs, and the Bible."

Well, CSE is not going to sit idly by as heathens appropriate Earth Day.  Or something. 

CSE is promoting their website godcreatedearthday.com and selling t-shirts to spread their message.  The site reads:

Help us take back Earth Day—for God! Our desire for the God Created Earth Day campaign is to take a day that is man-made that focuses on God's creation, and turn the focus to God Himself! Our message is simple: "Creation points to the Creator!"

Nothing wrong with approaching Earth Day in your own way, but I wasn't aware that Earth Day had morphed into some kind of hell orgy. Can't we agree to disagree on whether the earth is 6,000 years old and just let everyone pitch in?  Do we need to believe that man coexisted with dinosaurs in order to pick cans up on the side of the road?

And hold on a minute. Aren't CSE the ones actually doing the appropriating here?
