Review Delayed on Sale of Creationist Book at Grand Canyon

"Grand Canyon: A Different View," compiled by Colorado River guide Tom Vail, includes essays by creationists who maintain that the canyon's sedimentary strata were formed by deposits from Noah's flood and that the canyon's age should be based on a biblical rather than an evolutionary timeline -- making it just thousands of years old, not the 6 million years that geologists say.
Critics believe the creationist book should not be sold by a shop on government property because it contradicts the park's mission to teach science.
