>>Grand Canyon strata show geologic time is imaginary>>

The Vishnu layer is schist; a metamorphic rock. The layers above it are sandstone. Sandstone will "fracture" along the cementation between sand grains and then recement, since the grains themselves are harder than the cementation. In any event, the process still takes geological time scales. Creationism would insist it was done over just a few thousand years. The evidence presented here, if true, would only suggest that contemporary geology and Creationism are BOTH wrong.

>>''The crystalline-basement rocks exposed deep within the Canyon (schist, granite, and gneiss) represent some of earth's oldest rocks, probably from early in Creation Week.">>

"Probably from early in the creation week?" Sorry, but biblical creationism isn't as simple as God took six days to form the Earth. What would be consistent with creationism would be to say, "probably early on the third day."

Now, what you have is God simulating a geological process, rushing through the creation process so it takes a day (or six days), not billions of years. Why would God construct the Earth in a way that led people to disbelieve in him? I've met some Calvinists who claimed God is purposely fooling man, citing the verse: "I will confound the proud in their inmost thoughts."

So, you can believe in a God who created Man, endows him with reason, then purposely uses that reason to keep Man from knowing him, and then sentences 99.9% of all Mankind to eternal torment.

Or you can believe that "God is Love," who "died for our sins" so as to "bring all Men to know him," and "who so loved the world (Kosmos, Gr. for "all that is") that he gave his only Son so that whosoever believeth in him shall have eternal life."

That Sir, if my concept of God!

Other subjects of debate has been created by man, for political power, over the last 2000 years.

No we just observe that God purposely makes fools: "What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction"
