Flood not the Cause of the Grand Canyon -- Not a Biased Opinion

"I can, from my perspective as a student of the Bible, easily and literally fit what I'm hearing about the Grand Canyon into the Bible account."No, you can't.You can't take the Genesis Flood as being literally true and fit it into current knowledge of geology either about the Grand Canyon or anything else. The Genesis Flood is depicted as a global flood deep enough to inundate all mountains. If such a thing were possible it would have left a permanent record on every geological feature worldwide, including the GC. It is not there. If you accept that the Genesis account is actually a faulty and embellished translation of an earlier account of a local flood of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers - well, ok then there is no problem.On edit: Another way of saying this is that there is zero geological evidence that the GC was completely underwater within the past 10,000 years - which should easily encompass the Noah story, whatever its origins.This message has been edited by deerbreh, 06-23-2005 01:34 PM
