HOW OLD IS THE GRAND CANYON? Orders to cater to Creationists

Only in America.

Sadly, LordE, that's all too true.

Not studied history much?

Well, the history of the Grand Canyon would be confined only to America, would it not?

Yes, I suppose it would , if that's what you meant, Elp. You're right about that.

Hope you're having a great day.

Is there no end to the damage this administration can do.

There are so many beautiful glacial remnants here in New England. When I was a kid, I just loved going to the State and National Parks and learning about the processes and events that formed the natural landscape. To think that kids now visiting something as spectacular as the Grand Canyon will have a basic understanding of the landscape denied to them, is tragic.

Or, "As one park geologist said, this is equivalent of Yellowstone National Park selling a book entitled Geysers of Old Faithful: Nostrils of Satan,"

The Creationists beleieve the GC was carved in a catastrophic event of water (can you say flood?). I always like to ask them , well ok, but how long did it take to lay down all the layers of metamorphics, volcanics and sediments through which this supposed catastrophic event occured?

Silly man, a billion years is just a second on the Rolex of god.

billion years here, a billion years there. Pretty soon were talkin about some real time.

They should have to present a third alternative for the edgarblythe's among us. I am certain it was dug by Paul Bunyon.

Or Pecos Bill- -hmm. . .

Just think, Edgar, the gift shop would have even more T-Shirts to sell, especially if they claim to not know for sure if it was Paul Bunyon or Pecos Bill.
