them. In fact, after hundreds of millions of years, these same processes of erosion, (which those who
believe "The Story of Evolution" claim formed the Grand Canyon), would have turned any such edges
that might have once existed into gradual slopes. Also note in the picture you can see that the
sandstone was laid down in various layers, miles deep. This is the obvious result of massive amounts of
water laying down layer on layer over a very short time.
The Grand Canyon is about a mile deep from the rim at the top to the
Colorado River way down at the bottom. Although magnified in this
telephoto image, the Colorado River actually looks very small from the top
rim of the Grand Canyon. From the rim, the Colorado River in fact looks like
a small bluish-black line way down at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This
tiny little river at the bottom of the Grand Canyon could not have carved out
a huge canyon a mile deep and many miles wide right out of solid rock! It
had to be carved by massive amounts of water exiting the canyon
immediately after the flood.
A personal story from Dr. Bjorgen…
Years ago I visited the Grand Canyon. During
a lecture by one of the park Rangers, we
learned that the Colorado River formed the
canyon over millions of years. I asked the
Ranger what proof they have of that. She
replied that they have measured the amount
of dirt the river carries down each day and
divided that into the massive volume of the
dirt emptied from the canyon, and they
calculated it would take millions of years for
the river to form the canyon. I asked the
Ranger, “What happens if the river flowed with a much larger volume of water in the past. Wouldn’t
that shorten the time it would take to form this canyon?” She commented, “I suppose it would.” I asked,
“What would happen if a few thousand years ago, this entire canyon was under water, and the water
receded in a few months. Could that have formed this canyon?” She decided to change the subject!

The geology of the Earth demonstrates the reality of Noah’s Flood and the awful results of God’s
judgment on sin.
