Obviously you need a brain!
Your picture proves my position, not yours.
An uplift would have realigned the river since erosion in the hard uplifted material would have been slower, thus forcing the river to the sides.
Ignorantly wrong again. An extremely slow uplift, you know....over a few million years....would allow the river to erode a water gap in the uplift. Problem with your brain is that you cannot accept anything that takes millions of years...or hundreds of thousands.....does.....not....compute (shut down).
To think uplifts like those happen so quickly so as to divert the river without eroding the ukplift is purely ignorant of the erosive power of water.
In need of a brain indeed...mayhaps you should educate yourself on water gaps and simple water erosion.
Take the Mississippi River or any river flowing on a plain....right now.....and uplift, perpendicular to it, a basalt ridge at a slow rate, the river will slice through it without even blinking an inch to the side.....like pushing a 2X4 at a table saw blade at the rate of 1 picometer per year.
Re-phrasing what ElectricStrawberry has been saying, we are talking about uplifts that are happening at the rate of millimeters per year. A river would erode its way though such an uplift faster than the uplift would occur.
You are purposefully not allowing for the rate, because an uplift rate in the range of meters-per-millenia would not be consistent with "Young Earth"
