Turns out the story about park rangers not being allowed to tell visitors the age of the Grand Canyon was bogus. And the creationist book is in a section of the canyon bookstores labeled "Inspiration," along with other cultural/mythical books about the canyon. The whole thing appears to have been a tempest in a teapot created by the environmental watchdog group PEER for publicity purposes.
Disgraceful. And my profound apologies to MDixon for beating him up over this. He was right to be skeptical.
