Geologic columns/dating...what about the massive canyon on mars---no water/erosion!

The size---circumference of the Earth has gotten smaller(although at certain pts. it could have been changing/variable).

During initial collapse(center heating/condensing) large ridges---mountains(large rocky...vast/fast soil erosion) would protrude upwards!

Land wouldn't form evenly...continents would remain at higher levels above water level then plates would dry out(releasing water/moisture/rain)---shrink producing cracks/fissures---then layered-canyons/basins/ravines...via cooled and hot sediments would form(rise/uplift) as the shrink/sink-ing would continue...producing more mountains/hills(slight-no erosion)--'volcanoes' continously---to fill the receding excessive gaps/holes!

At the Grand Canyon older sedimentary levels are at the top and the fresher/newer ones below...those straight up 'buttes' came out of hole--soft spots in the plates like cake decorations---Ayre's Rock like a bubble in a blown tire.

All that erosion/sedimentary crap old age of the Earth is hooie-dooie!

There is not enough dust on the moon to support an old earth dating system!

Since it was a cloud of dust and gas, I suppose. Very little afterwards.

Bad argument that even Answers in Genesis has abandoned. I don't mention AiG because I think they're the ultimate scientific authority, of course. Rather, if someone that committed to creationist nonsense gives up on an argument as indefensible, it's time to let that one die.

I see that Dr. Bronner has dropped in again.
