There is as much evidence for the Native
American creationist beliefs involving Spider Grandmother & Turtle Island as there are for the Christian ideas of 6 days, 6000 yrs ago.

The Interior Department is facing a lawsuit from a Christian geologist who claims he was not allowed to collect rocks from Grand Canyon National Park because of
his creationist beliefs.
The lawsuit alleges that the park expressly discriminated against Snelling because of
his creationist beliefs and by doing so violated Snelling's constitutional rights and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Snelling had hoped to gather the rocks to support
the creationist belief that a global flood about 4,300 years ago was responsible for rock layers and fossil deposits around the world.
