… to hell in a handbasket.
I mentioned this to a couple people already, but figured it was blog-worthy:
“Bush Administration: Grand Canyon Created by Noah’s Flood -
Grand Canyon National Park is not permitted to give an official estimate of the geologic age of its principal feature, due to pressure from Bush administration appointees. Despite promising a prompt review of its approval for a book claiming the Grand Canyon was created by Noah’s flood rather than by geologic forces.”

This country is going… nevermind.
When I saw this, I thought it was a joke article. When I realized that it’s TRUE, I got really upset and I just am having so much trouble believing that this is happening to our country. I’m just sick over this, not just *this*, but the trend behind this. I feel like I need to DO something to fight these people (fundamentalists). How can we be living in a world where science is considered a competing religion by hoards of people and people in power?!?
