Grand Canyon book survives flood of protest

摘要

Despite assurances, the US National Park Service has yet to review whether or not it should sell a book that gives a religious explanation for the formation of the Grand Canyon. In 2003, bookshops run by the park service started to sell the book, Grand Canyon: A Different View, which asserts that the Grand Canyon was formed about 6,000 years ago by a flood during Earth's creation. Geologists protested, saying that scientific data contradict the creationist explanation. In late 2003, the park service said that it would review the matter.
