Secular scientists keep reducing the age they suppose the earth to be.

hate to break it to you but the continents are not floating islands and cant float around to change their shapes,,,

Then what causes volcanic arcs? ... like the Cascades or northern Andes ...

we also know there were inland seas and the GC is the result of one of those seas breeching its southern bank and creating the GC during a short period of time while the sea drained,,,
thats how you get the high straight cut sides and the barbed canyons along with the big side canyons,,,

Where would this inland sea be located? ... how big was it? ... when did this happen? ... [giggle] ... how does this event compare to the Scablands in eastern Washington? ...

not sure what caused them but it wasnt floating continents,,

the grand lake reached across several states,, estimates are as far as wyoming,,

 

[ReinyDays]

not sure what caused them but it wasnt floating continents,,

Maybe find out ...

the grand lake reached across several states,, estimates are as far as wyoming,,

Both sides of the Rockies? ... before the Rockies? ... what bound this lake to the southwest? ... how deep? ... just make stuff up, I don't care ...

dont know wasnt there,,,

but that scenario fits better than the multitude of options I am given,,,

Leave volcanic eruptions for last on your bucket list ...

The USGS explanation is close enough, very conservative ... it's based on provable facts ... definitely a better source for information than here ... or spend the money, cheapskate, take a class ...

wheres the closest volcano to the GC and whats it got to do with the formation of it??

The Sierra Nevadas are an extinct volcanic arc ... but you don't believe in volcanoes though ...

So, take a look a the Grand Canyon, and then tell me how long it took that to happen

the grand canyon maybe took a few days at the most to form ,,,

I presume you're talking about how long it took the river to carve out the canyon? How long did it take for the rocks of the canyon to be deposited, solidified and lifted a mile above sea level?

according to the geography the land was already there when the water cut through it,,,

True enough but not an answer to my questions.

irrelevant to the topic,,,

but if I had to answer I would say its evident from the outcome the sediment was deposited before the breech happened and had yet to solidify,,,

Sorry, I thought the topic was the age of the Earth?

Are you saying that the river cut through loose sediments that later became solid rock?

where did I say that???

what I said is pretty clear,,,

Not to me. What does had yet to solidify mean?

solidify means to get hard,, so "had yet to solidify" means it wasnt hard yet,,

thats why the ground gave way in such a wide area and allowed the breech,,,

So you are you saying that the river cut through loose sediments that later became solid rock?

If that is true, what made them solidify after the river cut the canyon? Why are there no more loose sediments below the topsoil layer?

That is exactly what geologists thought until they uncovered (literally) mountains of evidence to the contrary. You can easily see the evidence for yourself if you open your eyes. I did and I believe my own eyes, do you?

"The magic of the gods'' answers all questions ,,,,,,

 

[Hollie]

why waste the money,, I can just look at it and see what happened,,,
its a breeched damn not a river cut through the mountains cause water doesnt run uphill or cut reverse barbs in the sides of canyons,,,

Prove it ...

the evidence is right in front of you,,, all you have to do is look at it instead of believing what youre told to believe,,

So geologists devote their lives to studying this one region and phenomenon...but they manage not to see what is "right in front of them"?

You are, once again, intentionally saying things that are absurd for attention.

they wouldnt be the first people to get things wrong,,

You're not the first attention seeker.

Many believe it was created on Tuesday by God.

 

[james bond]

The uplift began about 75 million years ago ... as the land rose, the Colorado River cut into the soft sedimentary layers ... this was coincident with the subduction of the Farallones Plate ... I have no idea if there's evidence connecting the two events, but it does seem likely ...

That's different from the ages of the rocks that were exposed by the river ... roughly 2 billion year old strata is exposed at the very lowest portions of the Grand Canyon ...

You have been fooled with scientific fairy tales. No one can see what you said happened.

The canyon was formed in a short amount of time by a global flood and it produced the Colorado river. We have the evidence for how fast the power of water could do this when there was an overflow at Lake Powell in June 1983.

'An example of how quickly water can erode through the formations of the Grand Canyon region took place on June 28, 1983, when the pending overflow of Lake Powell required the use of the Glen Canyon Dam’s 40-foot (12-m) diameter spillway tunnels for the first time. As the volume of water increased, the entire dam started to vibrate and large boulders spewed from one of the spillways. The spillway was immediately shut down and an inspection revealed catastrophic erosion had cut through the three-foot-thick reinforced concrete walls and eroded a hole 40 feet (12 m) wide, 32 feet (10 m) deep, and 150 feet (46 m) long in the sandstone beneath the dam." 1

Don't you ever why jb has the evidence to actually show you how powerful a flood could be, but you turn around say that I'm the one who has been fooled?

Take a look at the aftermath of St Helens eruption. How long did that take ?

There was no global (Biblical) flood 4,000 years ago, so there goes your Colorado River conspiracy.

A few years ago I took a trip to Iceland (great country highly recommend it) and stood with one foot in Europe and one in North America. Not too exciting until you realized that my feet were moving away from each other. Slowly of course (about as fast as your fingernails grow) but it's been going on since man arrived there and for millions of years before. There are rock formations in Europe and North America that were formed at the same time in the same place so they were at one time connected.
