Washington, DC — 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.

Uh, the guvment didn't do it. It's all a big lefty bullshit story. Perhaps you would be interested in visiting the OFFICIAL National Park Service web site and do a little research instead of believing everything you read.

"Although rocks exposed in the walls of the canyon are geologically quite old, the Canyon itself is a fairly young feature. The oldest rocks at the canyon bottom are close to 2000 million years old. The Canyon itself - an erosional feature - has formed only in the past five or six million years."
What this means is that the statement, "the NPS won't say how old the Grand Canyon is" is b.s.
