PEER is a pretty fringe environmental group. Well, not fringe so much as not credible. I say not fringe because at least here in DC they are about as mainstream as NRDC, sierra club, greenpeace, EDF, etc. Of course, they all run on a business model strinkingly similar to the gun banners (and most other liberal left wing special interest groups … Don’t fret, libs, right wing groups tend to operate in a similar fashion to each other too, its just that their revenue streams are slightly different – corporate donations vs donations from the trust foundations set up by capitalists and then taken over by communists – see Joyce, Tides, et al))

Here's the Park's Newsletter Go to page 3 and look on the right. There is a complete breakdown of the ages of the various geologic features. This research took me around 5 minutes.

From the Grand Canyon National Park site. "Geologic formations such as gneiss and schist found at the bottom of the Canyon date back 1,800 million years."

Yup, the press release (linked to at the other end) is 100% spin. There is no censorship going on at Yellowstone, and that is what they are complaining about.

Pure, grade-A bullshit. I was at the Canyon just last year, virtually every piece of official literature tells you it’s about 15 million years old.

This is all about some park employees getting their panties in a wad because they can’t ban books they don’t like from the park bookstores. Which says alot more about them than it does about religious conservatives.
