Grand Canyon Age

[Steven Jamar]

The National Park Service is being asked to sell books written by 
young-earther creationists who contend, among other things, that the 
Grand Canyon is a few thousand years old and developed as a result of 
the flood of Noah's Ark fame.

1.	Can the National Park Service in its Grand Canyon gift shop refuse 
to sell non-scientific accounts of the creation of the Grand Canyon?

2.	Must the National Park Service in its Grand Canyon gift shop refuse 
to sell non-scientific accounts of the creation of the Grand Canyon?

3.	Must the National Park Service in its Grand Canyon gift shop sell 
non-scientific accounts of the creation of the Grand Canyon?

4.	In the National Park Service authored literature given and sold to 
visitors must the National Park Service include non-scientific stories 
of the creation of the Grand Canyon?  Can it pick and choose among 
them?  Can it explain some of the history surrounding the Grand Canyon 
using references to Native American stories and histories and not 
include Levantine accounts of a grand flood?
