Large canyons were formed in a matter of minutes through solid rock. Many layers of sedimentary rock were formed in a matter of days. Each layer having unique characteristics unlike laying down a pile of mud. A whole "forest" of "trees" has formed at the bottom of the nearby lake from logs sinking in a vertical manner soon to be covered with sediment possibly forming a future petrified forest.

These observations are now being used to modify/question current theories about the formation geological features, many of which had been assumed to take eons to form.

Not by geologists.

Here is a better reply than I could whip up in a few secs:

The sheer lack of scientific knowledge in the general public is often mind-boggling. Anyone with even rudimentary scientific knowledge can give several reasons why statements like this are ridiculous. Cosmology, biology and geology have come a long way in 3000 years; believers need to bring their interpretation of Scripture out of the Dark Ages (as many have) if they wish their beliefs to have any legitimacy in the light of modern knowledge. (If the facts don't fit your beliefs, just change the facts.)
