...the Busheviks push science just a wee bit further to the side by refusing to allow National Park employees from giving an estimate of the canyon's age to visitors. It is possible that they are allowed to say something to the effect of
"Golly I don't know. It looks pretty old to me though."
Ostensibly this prohibition is to "to avoid offending religious fundamentalists". Keeping this is mind I feel that we should report the office National Park Service Grand Canyon website to higher authorities as it tramples on the sensitivities of our fundamentalist brethren and by telling us that "geologic formations such as gneiss and schist found at the bottom of the Canyon date back 1,800 million years".
