Vertical walls of Marble Canyon. No rubble lying at the low valley floor built up to a height one would expect from eons of erosion over time. Evidence of a large inland sea in southern Utah. Why would anybody believe that the Grand Canyon was a cataclysmic flood instead of a gradual slow erosion process?

And yes, I've probably done worse.

As others have pointed out the Grand Canyon has the traits of an erosion valley. The western badlands, however, seem to have been formed by a catastrophic flood or floods. Check it out

Actually, one of the newest theories (really an older theory that is gaining more converts) is that the Grand Canyon (and many other such canyons) was created fairly quickly by a massive flood after a glacial dam broke, contrary to the theory that it eroded over eons.

It doesn’t border on France.
