try to actually respond to what is said.

One of the purposes of the thread Grand Canyon from the bottom up was to show that even without specific dating methods, the ONLY possible conclusion is that very long time periods were involved.
One such example is that the Vishnu Schist was once sandstone. Now to get sandstone you fist need to wear another stone down into very small pieces and transport those pieces to a new location where they are then compacted and eventually metamorphosed into schist. To even get the Vishnu Schist, mountains had to be made, worn down, the sand transported and accumulated and compressed. We can look at mountains and we can get an idea of just how long it takes to wear them down.
There simply was no other possible explanation for the existence of the Vishnu Schist (and just about every other feature that the geologists saw) then long periods of time.
to which Casey Powell responded:

Begging the question fallacy.
The ages dated in the Grand Canyon are not even close to each other. To use this Radioisotope example is almost an embarassment to your cause.
The Radioisotopic evidence actually suggests that the rocks are young when we properly investigate them.
I'm sorry Casey but I did not even use radiometric dating of any kind.
You continue to make unsupported assertion after unsupported assertion and to misrepresent the position of the person you are replying too and yet seem to expect us to take your seriously.
Now I do not doubt that you are a nice little kid, but it might help if you slowed down and tried actually reading the posts you are responding to. Writing something that is actually related to the subject takes little more time than spouting nonsense and often helps develop a true conversation.

Hey, other than being completely inane, Casey did serve a purpose in reviving some of these excellent geology and dating threads!
