Was the Grand Canyon created in a day by God, or was it carved out over several millions of years?

Question

Just curious to know

Answer 1

I think it would serve humanity more to try and solve the problems of the world instead of coming up with theories about unanswerable questions.

Answer 2

Neither. The Grand Canyon was eroded over the course of a day, or less, sometime just after the Great Flood. There is actually geological proof that it wasn't formed over the course of six million years -- if the evolution pundits would drop their blind faith long enough to honestly examine all of the evidence against it.

The primary evidence, i.e., which is the most telling, is that if you examine the land elevations, along the Colorado River (which flows through the Canyon), you find that the Grand Canyon is actually a mountain with a gap cut through it. If you don't catch the significance of that... The Colorado River flows into and out of the Grand Canyon at roughly the same elevation. Meaning, the Colorado River couldn't have cut the Grand Canyon over the course of six million of years unless the river was able to defy Gravity to an enormous extent. Meaning, the Colorado River would have to flow more than a mile *up* to the top of the mountain, across the top of the Colorado plateau, and *down* the other side of the mountain.

Now, the evolutionists will try to tell you that this mountain used to be embedded in the ground and that the Colorado River cut the Grand Canyon as the Colorado Plateau was "lifted" out of the ground. Well, that is a nice "by faith" supposition -- but there is no proof for that. Plus, you can't get an 18 mile wide canyon cut by a river as small as the Colorado River. Plus, even if the Colorado Plateau *was* lifted out of the ground and the Colorado River *did* cut its way through the mountain, then you would have to be able to find upwards of 4,000 cubic *miles* of alluvial deposits downstream from the Canyon -- yet, you don't.

Now, some shortsighted person might point out that even if you go with the "eroded over the course of a day, or less, sometime just after the Great Flood" scenario, there should still be "upwards of 4,000 cubic *miles* of alluvial deposits downstream from the Canyon" in that scenario. Well, the answer to that is, no, you wouldn't. Why? Because traceable alluvial deposits can only be located if they have been deposited over a very long time as a result of "normal" river-type erosion. In the case of the "day or less" scenario, the huge volume and speed of the water required to form the Grand Canyon would have also washed all potential alluvial deposits right out into the ocean without given them time to deposit in any traceable location.

If you don't understand cavitation completely, give it some research.

Serious Q, here's a serious A-- AiG, Answers in Genesis web site. Contributed to by many atheist scientists turned creation scientists because the dug into the facts and could not dispute them. The article is a bit long and a little heavy but it does answer the question. Remember, Noah was in the ark for a year. The global flood did not happen in one day. The evidence of the Grand Canyon speaks of a great shearing of rock and the layers of sediment laid down. The Flood started with the fountains of the earth shooting into the sky. Several miles high wall of water shooting straight into the sky. Water roaring along the ground at 100mph. Read the link and I think you will get a good perspective on what The Flood did.

Answer 4

One day Paul Bunyan and Babe his blue ox, wanted to plant trees. They picked the best spot ever but it had a whole bunch of trees already there. So before he could plant any new trees, Paul cut down the old trees that were in his spot where he wanted to plant trees. After he got done cutting trees down he needed to dig holes next. But he did not have a shovel. So he called “Babe”and Babe came and after Babe got there Paul hooked Babe up to a plow and Babe took off so fast and Babe’s feet hit the ground so hard and the plow did to it made the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon was 4 miles wide and 200 miles long and that's how Babe made the Grand Canyon.

Answer 5

lots of those solutions completely omit the ingredient. that's no longer that technological know-how is self correcting yet that that's incorrect and that's wrongly enterpreted and purely as significant one person says 10 million years isn't something? 10 million years isn't something? i does no longer precisely outline 10 million year corrections an actual technological know-how.To compound the problem that may not something new. Scientists have argued the age of the earth for particularly an prolonged time and their estimates selection from hundreds of 1000's to 1000's of milions of years. whilst people take convenience in the declare technological know-how is self correcting I say hooray yet whilst will all of us know whilst it fairly is ultimately ultimate? till then they are purely knowledgeable guesses no longer info. no want for smugness. with the aid of how i'm no longer suggsting the earth is 6000 years. Edit: Don the bible makes no declare as to the earth's age so that's no longer in all probability an argument for me. yet some people who have not have been given any problem ridiculing Christian ideals have not have been given any would desire to sense any superiority. Their place variations and that they by no ability sense the would desire to declare we've been incorrect they simply say we are "self correcting".

Answer 6

If a flood caused it, why did it happen only there and maybe a few other places?

Anyone who seriously believes the Grand Canyon was formed by a flood is either willfully ignorant of the world around him or else--let's face it--a complete and utter moron.

Answer 7

Yeah, like a huge flood is going to carve out a mile deep canyon into solid bedrock lol. People mistake carving canyons out of mud and soil, for gradually wearing down solid rock.

God bless you as you seek Him with your whole heart!

Answer 9

Good question--I've wondered about that myself. I think that the creation scientists theorize that at least the beginnings of the Grand Canyon started with the Great Flood, and of course the river has continued to erode the rocks further since then.

Answer 10

Several million years.
