Have any Biblical literalists been to the American Southwest?

Zhimbo and I have just returned from a fabulous 10 days in the American Southwest.After 5 nights at a remote B&B at almost 6,000 feet in New Mexico (Zhimbo got in a lot of great astronomical observation) we spent 5 more nights driving to see some of the most incredible geological formations on the planet, including Canyon de Chelly, the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest, Monument Valley, and Grand Canyon.For fun, I tried to figure out a way to reconcile what most Creationists tell me about what happened to form them and what I saw, but I just couldn't.My question to the Biblical literalists is have any of you ever seen these places for yourselves and have you really tried to figure out how all of these features could have been produced in a few thousand years, and how the Flood figures in to what is seen?

I'd love to promote this thread but I'd like it to be where the literalists can reply. The problem is there's no good fit in any of the Faith forums. Would you agree to it being in Education and Creation/Evolution?

Sure, that sounds fine.
