God says that there was no death of anything till 6,417 years ago.

No He doesn't. He said Adam and Eve would die. You're reading your ridiculous pseudoscience back into your Bible.

BTW, you never answered me from a previous thread. How does this "no death of anything" stuff actually work? You realize animals can't grow, develop, or even ultimately remain alive and functional without cells dying?

God' word teaches that it [the Grand Canyon] came about via a world wide flood.

Again, no it doesn't. It was the writings of the self-proclaimed "prophet" Ellen G. White, founder of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, which taught that the Genesis flood was geologically significant and responsible for the deposition of fossils; and it was the belief in the inerrancy of her writings that was directly responsible for the formulation of modern "flood geology" by Seventh Day Adventist George McCready Price in the 1920's, which was later popularized among fundamentalists generally by Henry Morris and others in the 1960's and 70's.

The Bible says NOTHING about fossils or the geological effects of the flood. Anything on that matter is being read back into the Bible based on the "theories of man". What little the Bible does say is, at the very least, consistent with a tranquil flood that had little or no geological effects. For instance the Bible refers to some of the same place names (e.g. the Euphrates River, IIRC) both before and after the flood.

No, what the Hebrew says is "dying you will die."

But more important He said:
"And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. "

No death till Adam sinned.

If you want me to paraphrase it I will via an email request.
