From the unusual horizontal erosion-marks around the base of The Sphynx to the Grand Canyon to the fossil layer found in rapidly deposited sediment, all are pure proof of the Global Flood as told in the story of Noah.

OK, let's start out with the Grand Canyon. True enough, there are many, many layers of horizontal sedimentary rocks. large angular unconformity - or other sedimentary layers that were subsequently tilted, eroded and then they became a depositional surface. In addition, if there was a singular, great flood, there would be a transgression and regression sequence in the Grand Canyon - rocks would go from shallow-water to deep-water depositional forms and then back again in a singular sequence. Instead, you see many different depositional environments, including some terrestial sandstones. How does the Genesis account of the flood account for this?

Hey dirtboy,

I don't think Genesis has anything to say about the GC. Creationist geologists don't say that it was carved out by the flood itself, but by an ancient lake draining suddenly through the canyon.

1st of all ... when anything (( plates )) dries --- they shrink --- cracks (( canyons ))!

Most of these layers were formed from below as the earth cooled --- bubbled ...

and then mixture // 'batter' protruded hills and buttes through the cracks and holes from below !

The surface plate layers are from volcanic and flood sediments --- 'frosting' !
