If Providence Canyon in Georgia can be formed in 150 years, is it unreasonable to think that the grand canyon may have been formed in far less time than what is popularly believed?

The Grand Canyon is a mile deep in places that's 5,280 feet and deeper in some places so let's round that up to 6,000 feet. Providence canyon is up to 150 feet deep and it took 150 years to make. That's about a foot per year.

And yes the ground is harder at the Grand Canyon but has it always been harder?

Hi. The Great Whirlpool just downstream from Niagara Falls may have formed in only a few weeks, or even days.

Providence Canyon was formed out of soft soil, while the grand canyon was formed out of more solid rock, so no.

There's a pretty significant difference between materials. This creationist nonsense is pretty well debunked at talkorigins.org's faq section.
