Although acknowledging GCA's independent status, a webpage of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) complains, "Most visitors to the park will not distinguish between facilities managed by the National Park Service (NPS) and the nonprofit association's management of the bookstores; hence it is reasonable to assume that people will believe that the young-earth position is accepted by NPS staff.

Does this book base its theories on purely religious grounds?
So, this book is banned due to separataion of Church and State?

And they are presenting it as fact. Should that make a difference?

I don't agree with the premise, but I'm willing to read it anyway. The problem is that it doesn't look as if its being banned from everywhere, just this particular private bookstore. If they own a place, surely they can choose what to sell there ?

What I do think is that the book should not be displayed or grouped in anyway that would suggest that it has any scientific validity.
Could the Grand Canyon have been formed through the action of astronomical quantities of water? The authors of this book have dished out some rather weighty evidence which deserves to be understood rather than censored. Did you know that on the north side of Mount St. Helens there is a particularly deep canyon which was carved out within just nine hours on March 19, 1982? The horizontal layering effect which occured there is much the same as what is seen at the Grand Canyon, and this in itself is strong evidence supporting the idea that catastrophic processes can stack together horizontal sedimentary layers.

That's the problem, it does have scientific validity. From reading some reviews on Amazon.com, I've gotten the idea that the book doesn't base it's entire arguement on the Bible and the Bible alone, but also incorporates secular science.
Customers who bought this book also bought:

Bones of Contention: A Creationist Assessment of the Human Fossils by Marvin L. Lubenow
Evidence is presented, the foundation for the study was based in the Bible. It seems to be (I just found out about this today, and haven't read it yet) using scientific evidence to show holes in the "accepted" views.

Well then I suggest that you shell out the $13.59 and read the book. You can post a summary of the arguments here.

As far as a review by peers, the peers seem to be dismissing it (by trying to get it out of the book store) rather then address the arguements presented in it.
