Ben,
I wouldn't burn you. To be fair, we should pick the same book by the same author with the same publisher with a 2003/2004 copyright and compare it to one in 2013/2014. Of course, its only fair that you would want to hedge a sucker bet. The book 2013/2014 book cannot in any factual way contradict the 2003/2004 book. Period. Even if they find out that maybe the meteor strike in the (current) Gulf of Mexico was responsible for accelerating it's formation, if it's not in the book, it can't be ten years hence.
But neither of us will bite on this bet, will we. The reason why I'm not biting is because any books that are currently selling (today on the shelf) regarding the creation of the Grand Canyon must be 100% factually complete or else they too should be banned. You know, we wouldn't want our national parks selling BS to poor, impressionable minds. In that regard, Paul Bunyon should be taken out as well. We shouldn't sell any books there as they all most probably are fiction with a grain of incomplete truth.
But back to reality. I am operating under the assumption that you take offense at the park service selling a Creation based book because it may be innaccurate (more precisely because you and many like you believe it to be innaccurate). I posted the the 1'st, reiterated this point twice (in separate posts) and still you choose to not address it. Why?
Do you feel that this is one of those slippery slope things, allowing books to be sold in public places? I don't see it that way. This is not akin to putting the Ten Commandments over the door to the bookstore. I would have a problem with that. Is it that the religion of consumerism outweighs the Christian religion?
Let me pose this question to you one more time in exactly the same way I posed it four sentences ago, "Do you feel that this is one of those slippery slope things, allowing books to be sold in public places?" This is what is at the heart of this whole thread.
Just as I'm very vocal about not wanting the Ten C's on my dime, I'm more vocal about banning books. In case you missed it, "Do you feel that this is one of those slippery slope things, allowing books to be sold in public places?"
