Creationists have no shame, do they?
If ever a group of people were embarrassment proof, it’s them.

Maybe events like this help to explain the “rising oceans” phenomena that climate change alarmists are always caterwauling about? /snark

There’s a big difference between eroding topsoil vs eroding granite.

Stop looking for edge case examples which can be construed as possibly supporting a 10,000 year old Earth, and start addressing stuff that OBVIOUSLY took a very long time to happen.

10,000 years isn’t very long. It’s just one hundred 100-year lifespans back-to-back. As I approach half a century in age, and deal with numbers in the trillions on a regular basis, the “young Earth” theory is looking dangerously preposterous.

“At this catastrophic erosion rate, the White Cliffs of Dover would disappear in much less than a million years.”

Rampant ignorance at work again, given the fact the erosion contributed to the existence of the English Channel that is causing significant erosion of what remains today. It also fails to recognize the erosion rates were far greater and far less in the past when sea levels were higher and lower than at the present time.

The example of the rock falls in the Yosemite Valley is another silliness, given the presence of glaciers filling the valley for long periods of time and the changes in mountain uplift resulting in much slower rates of erosion in the past.

Oh my God! Is anything NOT evidence of creation?

Wiki has a ton of info on the natural erosion process.

Some very interesting stuff, IMO.

Everything in the Bible is 100 percent fact! Get used to it!
And you dont even need to be religious zealot to believe it. There was a world wide flood. Period! The consequences of that flood have major consequences in all geological modeling. Uniformatarianism goes completely out the window.
The layering of the earths mantle is relatively new in terms of geologic time. There was a complete reset (like the shaking of an etch a sketch) of the earths layering when this catastophe happended. Geologists come in two flavors:
Either they are either the kool-aide drinking believer in Uniformatarianism or they are the more rational common sense believer in Catastrophism. You are completely burying your head in the sand if you truly believe that grand canyon was formed over a million years by a little river. That little river is what is left over of a gigantic mass of water coming all at one time. But most kool-aide drinking geologists will try and convince of long cycles of little erosion’s over millions of years of time. Or a third category of geologist will tow the line to keep their job, but at the same time believe in the complete opposite!

Creationism? /snicker

Proof that liberals/progressives don’t, in fact, have a lock on stupid.

Mass wasting- the geologic term for erosion on a grand scale is a simple function of time, erosive agent, and eroded material.

If you have enough erosive agent, time is reduced dramatically ( exponentially actually, based on a the additive effect of erosive agent plus eroded material aggregating the erosive effect).

Imagine an enormous rain storm that dumps millions of billion of tons on water on the earths surface, and begins flowing downhill- imagine rocks, clasts, clods and fine mixed in that rushing abrasive mix moving at perhaps a hundred miles per hour for months- no imagine the Rockies 5000 feet higher than they are now, can you see the cannular and laminar sheeting flow cutting through hundreds of feet of material in a short period? Okay, back off the volume by a function of a million, add a function of millenia.... Which one is plausible? Both/either?

Problem is, man wasn’t there to see it happen, so the only answer science now has to offer is the one that denies what is written in most cultures antiquity history- a great flood of immense ( biblical) proportions, because otherwise they would have to acknowledge a Creator, and be liable to Him.

Yes, I accept a young earth history and a First Person Cause. His name is Jesus! He and the Father are One- “I am that I am”.
