If the Flood caused the Grand Canyon and was a worldwide one, why is the Canyon so localized?

Question

Shouldn't it traverse North America at least?

Answer 1

exactly. the Flood didn't cause the Grand Canyon, because the Flood didn't happen(unless it was localized)

Answer 2

A number of processes combined to create todays Grand Canyon. The most powerful force to have an impact on the Grand Canyon was erosion, primarily by water (and ice) and second by wind. Other forces that contributed to the Canyon's formation are the course of the Colorado River itself, vulcanism, continental drift and slight variations in the earths orbit which in turn causes variations in seasons and climate.

So there ya go..... the formation of the Grand Canyon in a nutshell.

Whoever told you that it was caused by the Flood, was way off - because it's still going on today.

Answer 3

There was no worldwide flood, though there likely was some sort of flood in the ancient past that inspired flood myths in various cultures.

The Noah Flood story is a combination of at least 2 different flood myths borrowed from the Egyptians, and the Assyrians...possibly others as well.

Many cultures had flood stories, and there is good geological evidence of severe local floods in the Middle East that likely gave rise to the various legends. One of the most likely events to generate those sorts of stories was when what is now the Black Sea re-flooded from the Mediterranean, after having been cut off and dried up for thousands of years. After the last Ice Age, as the glaciers melted, the sea levels rose. This flood event likely occurred around 10,000 B.C.E. Like any good story, it grew with the oral re-telling over generations.

Answer 4

It didn't. The Grand Canyon took millions of years to be carved out by the Colorado River. The imaginary flood was only 15 cubits deep (about 7.5 metres depending on whose cubit was being measured) while the Grand Canyon is at places over a mile deep; and the time frame involved with the flood is not nearly long enough to erode all that rock.

Answer 5

The Colorado River flowing through the Grand Canyon caused its formation.

Answer 6

I don't believe the Grand Canyon is a result of a large 'flood'. I've read that there were other cultures that had stories about their 'ancestors' that they passed on from one generation to the next. The flood story is older than the Israelites. There was most likely a local flood with only a few survivors of a certain area.

Answer 7

This tale is from 2002. we are gaining knowledge of extra about Mars each and every of the time. As we study, scientists speculate in this new knowledge. This hypothesis often times ends up in incorrect recommendations, and new recommendations then type. it truly is the way of technological information. on earth, all of us understand a lot about what occurred on earth for the length of it is history. all of us understand that contained in the span of human existence there change into no international huge flood. as a count number of actuality, there change into no time in the international that the finished planet change into lined with assistance from water. there have been many close by floods that would have looked as if it would the folk round that the finished international (what little they knew about it) change into flooding. those memories were written down and some one got here up with the concept a sky fairy brought concerning the flood. even as human beings devoid of truly professional preparation contained in the sciences recommend an idea it truly is in step with some writings many thousands of years previous, our cutting-edge day scientists can then see it those writings have any validity to what really occurred. Scientists have come to the proper that the Grand Canyon grew to change into because it truly is now with assistance from erosion with assistance from the Colorado River in the course of the merely precise 17 million years. cutting-edge people stepped forward in the course of the merely precise 70,000 years. Sorry, no flood, no backyard, merely memories to assist administration different human beings.

Answer 8

Old Native American Legend is a swordsman got angry and chopped up Arizona's mountains, making the Grand Canyon what it is today.
