Anonymous Patron writes “Visitors to the information plaza at Grand Canyon National Park are told how the Colorado River carved the great chasm over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. But nestled among the hiking guides and souvenirs sold at the plaza bookstore is a book that tells a very different story of how the canyon came to be.
A federal review of whether the book — which asserts that the canyon was created in a matter of days as a result of the same flood that had threatened to sink Noah and his ark — should be sold at the park has been delayed for months as officials wrestle with the issue of separation of church and state.

Reminds me of
an old joke.
True story: A naturalist I know was taking a group of Seventh-day Adventists through a deep ravine once. The river had carved away a good few hundred feet of the surrounding landscape. She had been specifically instructed not to use dates with this group, so she could only say that erosion such as this takes a long time. To which one of the kids in the group asked his father just how long it would take for something like the Grand Canyon to form. The father said, quite assuredly, “at least a hundred years.”

yeah I know, was he off! An earthquake could’ve done it in a day.
