Abstract
AGU President Bob Dickinson, together with presidents of six other scientific societies, have written to Joseph Alston, Superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park, pointing out that a creationist book, The Grand Canyon: A Different View, is being sold in bookstores within the borders of the park as a scientific explanation about Grand Canyon geologic history President Dickinson's 16 December letter urges that Alston clearly separate The Grand Canyon: A Different View from books and materials that discuss the legitimate scientific understanding of the origin of the Grand Canyon. The letter warns the Park Service against giving the impression that it approves of the anthscience movement known as young‐ Earth creationism, or that it endorses the advancement of religious tenets disguised as science. The text of the letter is on AGU's Web site: http://www.agu.org/scLsoc/policy/ sci_pol.html.
