That's a Fact - Little Grand Canyon

Nearly 5 million people from all over the world visit the Grand Canyon in Arizona every year. Many believe that this 277-mile long gorge had formed over millions of years, but another famous North American landmark shows that the Grand Canyon could have been created much faster and not long ago.

I like to take geology classes because I like the controversy.

Really? You like controversy? From reading your posts over the years...I would say "colr me SHOCKED" that you like controversy.

I would say you just like to argue.

I don’t understand your first statement. You apparently believe that the Earth was once smaller, but now you seem to be contradicting yourself.

No. Actually I don't believe anything because I don't know. But I do know that anyone who believes that the earth is some accretion of stuff has to believe in a 7000 mile diameter earth. It probably has a bit to do with my belief in the correctness of the math I learned and something called the Intermediate Value Theorem. Of course if the earth came about more like something we read in Genesis then I supposed the Intermediate Value Theorem wouldn't apply.

And as for isotope ratios, I suppose I am saying that I think state changes of a substance have noting to do with the isotope ratios exhibited by that substance and so deserve no consideration. I cannot tell whether you are being purposely dense or I have lost the ability to express myself clearly. Perhaps others will weigh in.

It wasn’t just rain. Underground water was released as well:

You are mostly correct. A lot of people (those who believe in Noah's flood) believe that it was just 40 days and 40 nights of rain that flooded the Earth. As a meteorologist (and a preacher), I feel very certain that is not the case. Even in the moistest of climates, the precipitable water of an environment would not be enough to give you more than 150 feet of rain over a very localized area...much less over the entire globe. If the entire atmosphere was saturated and the precipitable water was off the chart...I doubt you could get 2 feet of total rain over the entire globe.

BUT...the key lies in the "springs of the deep were BROKEN up." This word doesn't necessitate a spring as we think of it...it can mean just a source of water. So, here is what I think happened:

One of the flaws in the thinking is that the antediluvian world looked like the world does now. We are under this misguided notion that Mt Everest as 29,000 feet high. That the Mt’s of Ararat were 17K feet high. I propose they were not…and we know this because of Peleg: “In HIS days the Earth was divided.” This is how God separated mankind…and the continents. The Bible teaches that the Earth used to be all one landmass and in the life of Peleg, He divided it (Gen 10:25; 1 Chron 1:19).

When the Japanese tsunami happened, I just happened to be reading through Psalms. I heard on the news how the tsunami covered parts of Japan and breached their protective walls…even though they were high enough. They breached them because the EARTH lowered. Then I read Pslams 104. So I started to wonder: What if the “fountains of the deep being broken up” was actually some sort of tsunami action caused by the land beneath the sea heaving upwards and the dry ground subsiding all at once? Combine that with the rain…and you have a world wide flood. Add to that the splitting of the earth and the separation of continents in Peleg’s life, and you have fish fossils in Wyoming.

Psalms 104:6 – “Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.” – God could have brought up water from the deep…as in the sea…and covered the mountains with tectonic action. We saw just a hint of it last March.

First let me say, "Thank you," for being a part of my little fan club.

But I hope you won't be offended by my commenting on your "just like to argue" remark. One who "just argues" could take any side of a controversy or create controversy where none exists. I don't think I do that. Which isn't to say that I never change my mind about anything. I do actually pay attention to what the people on the other side of an argument are saying. So for example I have gone from being convinced that I know what the Framers meant by natural-born citizen to not being quite so sure. And now I argue against the certainty of my former position.

I'm not offended at all. First of all...I like to argue too...which is why I became a theologian and not a pastor. LOL. My dad (RIP) was a pipefitter for 35 years before he passed. He would argue with me about the weather and I would argue with him about pipes. That's where I learned it. We drove mom crazy. :-)

Second...I love good debate if it's good debate...iron sharpening iron so to speak. If both sides are dug in...I bail because it's pointless.

Just busting your chops a little...
