Orders to cater to creationists makes national park agnostic on geology.
Washington, DC - 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).
"In order to avoid offending religious fundamentalists, our National Park Service is under orders to suspend its belief in geology," stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch. "It is disconcerting that the official position of a national park as to the geologic age of the Grand Canyon is 'no comment.'"

long distance diagnosis

Does Fidel Castro have cancer? A Spanish physician who apparently didn't even examine him says, "No". Why don't we ask that proponent of distance diagnosis, Senator Bill Frist, to help? There is a video clip of Castro "strolling" in a hospital or clinic that he could use and make the diagnosis. Frist's powers of diagnosis should be adequate to tell us the answer in the same way he told us of the condition of Terry Schiavo.

Talk about B.F.s!
