Bush Administration Reported to Block NPS Refutation of Biblical Age of Grand Canyon

I found the following on the website of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility:
"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. Despite promising a prompt review of its approval for a book claiming the Grand Canyon was created by Noah's flood rather than by geologic forces, more than three years later no review has ever been done and the book remains on sale at the park, according to documents released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER)."


This article in the New York Times confirms that scientists have unsuccessfully sought to ban sales of a book at the Grand Canyon that explains the age of the Canyon in biblical terms.

Comment: This actually leaves my speechless! jad
