Evolution or Creation?
The Grand Canyon
Arizona's Grand Canyon in its all grandeur has a plethora of outstanding evidence that gives scientific support of a worldwide flood, as stated in Genesis 6-9. There is a staggering amount of earth that has been displaced over 900 miles. Erosion with unimaginable colossal forces had to have formed this canyon, digging out a 4-18 mile wide trench on the southwestern part of the Colorado plateau. What could be the origin of this powerful force that moved all that rock and dirt? The Colorado River flowing at the bottom of the canyon was once theorized to be the cause of much of the erosion. Geologists are now questioning this theory, because there is no trace of the enormous amount of earth that would be displaced, and the energy to move all the rock and dirt could not come from just one river. That amount of erosion had to be generated by a catastrophic event. Many geologists today have adopted a new model of the canyon, agreeing that some sort of catastrophic water event caused that massive erosion.[82]
In different parts of the canyon, five outstanding creation geologists have shown and explained evidences for a catastrophic event and pointed to the fossils, geological formations, and the rock strata that make it clear that the canyon was formed quickly.[82]
