Science news

The Grand Canyon was created by the Noahic Flood as told in Genesis 6-9. Or so it is told in The Grand Canyon: A Different View, available in the National Park Service book store.

Of course the book is unbelievable religion-addled crap, oblivious to the facts lying literally under ones' feet.

But the Bush ("god speaks through me") appointed are on the job:

Grand Canyon National Park is not permitted to give an official estimate of the geologic age of its principal feature, due to pressure from Bush administration appointees.

PEER [Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility] is also asking [Park Service] Director Bomar to approve a pamphlet, suppressed since 2002 by Bush appointees, providing guidance for rangers and other interpretive staff in making distinctions between science and religion when speaking to park visitors about geologic issues.
