This is quite possibly the most elaborate parody I've ever seen.
I think you're right. I found this on bouzou.com:

Creation Science Fair: Hoax or Real?

Is this site, Creation Science Fair, an elaborate hoax in the same vein as Penguin Warehouse or Dog Island? The people and places mentioned on the site (Dr. Richard Paley, Marian County, Fellowship University) cannot be found except on this site. It is very, very over the top. Objective: Christian Ministries is the same site that claimed Macintosh computers were satanic. That site also went on a tear about a heresy called triclavianism.

One theory: it is actually a publicity stunt for the parody site, Landover Baptist,. It may also be a troll (as in flamebait). The blog, Lipstick Librarian, gives some of the reasons for thinking it is a hoax. The Mac thing really got some people riled up and Applelinks Web site presents evidence of the site's bogusness. About.com has checked in with its opinion of the site's hoaxicity. I did not find anything on the Web that corroborated that Objective: Christian Ministries was in fact, authentic.

Contagious media? Parody? Flamebait? If so, it is a pretty good job. And a more than a little bent and dark.
It has to be a hoax. A VERY well done hoax. I can breathe a sigh of relief now knowing that my Halloween won't be tainted by finding Bible passages in my Kit Kats.
