The Great Debate in the Grand Canyon

"Seeing Creation and Evolution in Grand Canyon." by Jodi Wilgoren (NYTimes. 6 Oct 2005)

A reporter caught part of two different raft trips through the Grand Canyon--one looking at the canyon from the perspective of creation, the second from the perspective of evolution. The result is this article which draws comparisons between the rhetoric and the demographics of the two groups.

Probably not quite neutral, the article tends to look at the stereotypical aspects of both groups and doesn't add anything of value to the debate itself. I found it interesting, because I have been interested in going on a creationism Grand Canyon raft trip at some point.
