re: #400 lawhawk

This creationist nut has been seeking a permit to collect rocks from Grand Canyon so he can prove that the Canyon is not as old as it is per radiocarbon dating and other scientific measures have indicated.

They’re allowing his permit, despite not including certain key bits of info on his application:

Can’t wait for this nut’s “scientific” research to conclude that all the prior scientific research was wrong, and that it’s only a few thousand years old.

On the basis not not disclosing that info, I would have denied his application. But they’re allowing it - and enabling these creationist nuts to continue poisoning the minds of people who don’t know any better and worse, indoctrinating another generation of kids to believe this nonsense when the scientific consensus is that the canyon is at least 6 million years old, and parts could be more than 70 million years old. It certainly isn’t the 6,000 years old these creationists believe.

Well, he is from Ken Ham’s Answers in Genesis, so I guess we already know how this “research” is going to come out.

And the Park Service didn’t drop the case because they thought they were being discriminatory against this guy. They dropped it because of all the creationist wingnuts in our government now.
