U.S. National Park Service Reverses Itself to Allow Creation Scientist's Grand Canyon Study"It's one thing to debate the science, but to deny access to the data not based on the quality of a proposal or the nature of the inquiry, but on what you might do with it is an abuse of government power," said Gary McCaleb, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom.
His 2013 formal request to conduct scientific research was summarily denied by the Park Service last year.

Snelling is an Australian who received his geology doctorate in 1982 from Sydney University in his native city.

Since 2007, he has worked for Kentucky-based Answers in Genesis, a group of scientists who adhere to the literal Biblical account of creation instead of the evolutionary model, according to Science, the publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Snelling is the current director of research for Answers in Genesis.
Dr Gilles Brocard, a fellow Sydney University geologist argues that nuclear analysis dates some rocks from the Grand Canyon to 2 billion years old. He said the Earth is shown by studies to date at 4.5 billion, according to the Guardian. But Snelling is sticking to his guns. "The Australian Aborigines have stories about a great flood. You find similar stories in China," he said. "It's all circumstantial, but I believe the Bible is a record given to us by God and what I read in the Bible really occurred"... Continue reading here.
