How much water do you think it took for the Grand Canyon to be the Grand Canyon?

Looks like an ocean's flood to me.

As for giant squid being dinosaurs -- I don't know what else you would call things that were bigger than the boat -- I also read that there was a Loch Ness dinosaur like monster that used to terrorize Mormons and settlers and Indians in the Nevada area in some isolated lake there up through the 1850's.

How about cephalopod? :) You see, precision in using words IS important in science.

Those beasts were really space aliens from area 51. And don't say I have no evidence; I have as much as the claim there was a Loch Ness type dinosaur in the 1850's.

Then you are ignorant of geology, soil mechanics, and hydrology. In numerous ways the Grand Canyon looks exactly like what it is, the result of the Colorado River winding across a desert for millions of years as the Kaibab uplift slowly rises (this tectonic uplift is ongoing and measurable). Clue for the clueless: Dambursts and ocean floods don't cause meanders. Nor do they cause 1000ft sheer drops in tough limestone.
