Geologists make a guess and get flustered when Creationists make a statement of faith. But science is supposed to be right for guessing. Have I missed anything here LOL. Yes, you certainly have. You have completely missed how geologists have actually arrived at their conclusions about the Grand Canyon. The conclusions are based on those "evidence" and "testing" things you must have heard about.

Evidence and testing? You mean carbon dating or guessing age based upon layers of material.. Carbon dating is a technical way of guessing age because the assumed constant is not constant nor is the variable proveable over time as to what it has been at any given time. Nor does it consider saturation or contamination properly, it is impossible to know these things, thus rendering it a couple of guesses plugged into an equation rendering the outcome a processed guess. Layer dating isn't much more complicated nor is it any more accurate. Doesn't hurt my worldview; but, it really peaves some of you zealots.
