YEC Grand Canyon Claims Fail Test of Reality

Young-earth creationists continue to embarrass Christians with their “science.” They continue to try to explain the Grand Canyon away by the flood in the Bible. When people started asking logical questions such as “How does a global flood create a canyon and layers of rock?” the YECs started formulating scientific-sounding objections to current theories about the Grand Canyon’s formation. However, as you will see below, they only sound scientific. They gloss over or ignore simple objections to and problems with their claims. For more on why YECism is not scientific and not biblical, go here.

AAAhhhhh, come on folks. Since he doesn't live here just how long is one of God's days? Who can prove it was 24 hours? Maybe God's day equals .8 billion years.

Just a thought.

Hate to rain on your parade, but the Columbia River Gorge was formed in a single, catastrophic flood caused by the breakup of an ice dam. Such events are not uncommon in our geologic past. We can't know for sure how many years it took to carve out the Grand Canyon, we just know it cut through some very old strata.

BUT - biblical "scholars" need to understand what is meant by "Ha Eretz." It is most probable that it never means the entire planet as many think it does. If you had lived in Egypt, you would have longed to return to Ha Eretz.

There is a big difference between a localized "single, catastrophic flood" and the YEC "global" flood that resulted mainly from rain. If the global flood was true, it would have left the world buried in debris and sludge, filling every canyon in the world.
