“If there were a column of sediments deposited continuously since the formation of the earth, the entire history of the planet could be reconstructed. Unfortunately no such column exists. Where sediments are missing, a break in the sedimentary record occurs. Breaks result in gaps in the record the may range from a few years to hundreds of millions of years. Breaks in the sedimentary record are called unconformities.” (HBJ Earth Science, 1989, p. 326.)
If someone told you that rivers ran uphill, would you believe it?
According to the textbooks, the Colorado River cut through layer upon layer of rock over millions of years in order to form the Grand Canyon. This is a nearly universally held belief purported in classrooms, in textbooks, in museums and by tour guides at the Grand Canyon.
But was the Grand Canyon formed by the Colorado River over millions of years?
There are facts and there are interpretations of those facts. Evolutionist’s are always trying to erase the line and make students think their interpretation is part of the fact column.
For example, it is a fact that Grand Canyon exists.
The Creationist’s interprets the fact that Grand Canyon exists as evidence of Noah’s Flood 4,400 years ago and that it was formed quickly by lots of water in a little time.
The theorist however is convinced that the Grand Canyon was formed slowly by a little water over lots of time and they erase the line of interpretation and teach the interpretation as an established fact when it is not.
If you built a dam across Grand Canyon a large lake would form, backing up to cover several surrounding states including most of the Midwest. The high resolution NASA photo below of the Grand Canyon is very interesting. It shows that the snow line, which is the highest part of the canyon, runs through the middle, following the path of the Colorado River which enters the canyon from the northeast.
The river enters the canyon at 2800 ft. above sea level at the far eastern end. As it goes into the canyon, the ground is rising up to 7,000-8,000 feet above sea level. This is known as the Kaibab Uplift. Yet the river flows downhill. (All rivers flow downhill).
When the river gets to the 1,800 foot elevation mark, the top of the canyon which is about 8,000 feet above sea level is now over a one mile drop from canyon top to river bottom.
1. The top is higher than the bottom by over 1 mile.
2. The river runs through the bottom.
3. The top of the canyon is higher than where the river enters the canyon by 4000 feet.
4. The river enters the canyon at 2,800 feet elevation and exits the canyon at 1,800 feet elevation.
5. Rivers don’t flow uphill.
6. There’s no delta. Wheres all the mud that washed out?
There’s no possible way that river made that canyon. The Grand Canyon is a breached dam; a spill way that washed out. There was probably a very large lake for some time after the flood which got too full and probably carved that canyon out in a number of weeks, not millions of years.
Or consider the layers of sedimentary rock.
It is an observable fact that the Grand Canyon and the entire earth contains layers of sedimentary rock.
Creationist’s interpret this fact as layers laid down by Noah’s Flood which were distributed very quickly. This can be demonstrated via hydrological sorting–take a jar of dirt and sand and shake it up. It will settle into layers in minutes.
Yet the Evolutionist believes that these sedimentary rock layers were formed slowly over millions of years.
If that’s true, why are there no erosion marks between the sedimentary rock layers? Don’t you think if one layer sat there for 10 million years waiting for the next layer to be formed that it would rain once or twice? Yet there are no erosion marks between the layers. Nor does the Colorado River, or any river account for the same layers of rock we observe throughout earth’s crust and mantle worldwide.
The Grand Canyon was not formed by the Colorado River over millions of years.
The Grand Canyon is a washed-out spill way from the Flood of Noah, 4,400 years ago.

It may be that flooding has a lot to do with the canyon as thousands of years have gone by since the events that created the cayon and evidence proves we had a great world wide flood but, Let me give you this. If you look up Wallace Thornhill and how he has proven the way the great valley on Mars was formed, you will see and find connections to the Grand canyon on earth. A mighty plasma event in the past is responsible for our respected canyons. In our past it was called the finger of God and I still call it that today. This is the only claim that can be proven in the lab. Take the time to study this in full. Be open to new ideas only be aware of those that wish to misdirect and even lie for whatever reason. A new world of amazing things will expand befor your eyes. Please don’t take my word for it here. If you really want all the facts then you will have to put in the time. I hope you do. You may find many are reluctant to give up on old ideas as it would mean they have put in hundreds of hours promoting and ideas, that are proven to be wrong. They my be teachers that have exposed thousands of students to a false understanding. If they are people looking for real science and not trying to sell books of promoting themselves, they will accept the new and move on. Again heres hoping all that read this will and grow. I welcome comments and questions.
God Speed, Bruce

Bruce, first you say you agree that the Flood caused our canyons and then you say a “mighty plasma event” did it.
Which is it? I’m more than happy to take on all opinions on the matter, but make up your mind first which theory you are advancing.
“If they are people looking for real science”
As I have advanced numerous times, there is no contradiction between real science and the Bible.
There is a conflict between evolutionism which is without any evidence and the Bible.
I’m not sure what you mean by “In our past it was called the finger of God and I still call it that today.”
Can you explain this statement please?
Do you believe in theistic evolution or a literal six day creation as recorded in Genesis 1?
Bruce Strickland said:
Hi again, I did not say only the flood caused the cayons. I am sorry I thought I was clear about floods. What I was saying and or intended to say was, yes we had floods and rivers that have efected the canyons but that the plasma discharges were the main shaper of the cayons. The time both happened seem to fit well with each other. The power and heat needed to cut out the canyons could have some what melted the poles an caused the great flood and for sure the flood did happen. Can’t give you all the information you need to understand this idea, it would take pages and pages along with a lot of photos to even start to make a dent. I did give you a point of refference. Please take the time to research Wallace Thornhills web sights. It will take some time for you as he has several books as well as sites of information. After such I believe you will find you could fit the findings into your understanding. The finger of God is just one example of the way those of deep past tried to explain what they saw. Different cultures used there own words to describe the displays in the sky. It may be the things they saw were from or of a greater beings works. You call God as the bible does. When I speak, of bible refferences, I do also. But we have been here so much longer than five of six thousand years. a new site discovered just a few years ago show the buildings to be around 10 thousand years old. Please take the time to expand your studies. As to evolution or creation and the six days. You are exactly correct there is no real science to prove evolution. I do know all life adapt to its suroundings. As far as climbing out of some soup of muck, I find that hard to believe. I believe all of this could have been done in six days but I can’t say its days as we know them now. Still as great and wonderful as our cosmo is, anything that could make such a place, I would suspect, could do it in just six earth days. So you see. I believe in a creator. I believe the bible is a record of events that happened in its time and are true to there understanding. I believe our cosmo was created and it could have taken just six earth days only I find that six of our current earth days beyond my studies as of yet. I do want you to see that its possible your flood and the plasma discharge could have jointly created the cayons of today. Plasma first then the flood. Look foward to a reply.
Peace and God Speed.

Welcome back, Bruce!
We see dams still overflowing and still carving out canyons from washed out spill-ways much like we see with Grand Canyon without the help of plasma. I’m still lost on the plasma piece and I’m reluctant to invest the time since the Bible does not call for it not does the physical evidence suggest or demand it.
I still need clarification on what you mean by the “finger of God”.
The only Biblical reference to that concept is at the giving of the Law to Moses–nothing whatsoever to do with the creation of canyons.

The fact is theres no evidence for evolution what so ever, and when you look at the facts alone you will also come to these obvious conclusions. What we need to understand is that mans theories on anything is falsefiable unless it passes and withstands all tests, and clearly, evolution in all of its areas doesnt. I would say to Bruce, like me you sound like you are at least looking for the truth and are critical with new information, but I fear that you are looking in the wrong places, and confusing mans interpretation of nature with Gods, I say this because ive noticed an alarming trend in scientists getting us to look for the answers to the earth on another planet with a completely different atmosphere. The Bible teaches that we can understand creation through nature and we can, atheistic scientists dont admit this in public, but privately they count on new developments like biomimetics which is pretty amazing stuff which I encourage you both to look into.
I am not a Christian but I believe that the Bible is not just another religious book, but instead a historiocal document that no historian denies and that archaeologists have used to find lost artifacts, buildings and even cities. The fact is the Bible has withstood scrutiny from all sides but has never been proven wrong, where as men have proven to be wrong many a time because usually his ideas are without facts and are fallible, so just because scientists say that a canyon on another planet was caused by plasma, this doesnt mean that the same happened on earth, plasma may have hit every planet in the galaxy, but it still wouldnt prove that the Grand Cayon was formed the same way, and even if it did happen that way, then you would have to conclude that either God forget to mention the plasma showers or that he lied to us all. Id rather believe that mans ideas and interpretations, are just that without empirical evidence. The fact is we’ve all had evolutionary ideas shoved down our throats for so long now that most people just swallow it as being factualy correct, so you are right to be critical about every bit of information you receive but I also believe its important to make sure we aim our skepticism in the right place.
So far I have found no reason to dis believe the Bible, but I have plenty of reason to doubt mans opinions, especially when atheistic scientists interpret everything on earth and in the universe usually as completely the opposite to that of believers in a God or in an intelligent designer. For instance most atheist see no order or purpose in nature where as most Christians see order and purpose everywhere, so whos right? well this is where anyone of us can indepentdently use our reasoning to distiguish the facts from fiction.
Remember, no matter what scientists discover now or in the future, God created it all anyway, so scientists can apply all the naturalistic causes they want and even evoke aliens and quantum dimensions whenever they cant explain something, but ultimately science only ever seems to prove that the Bible was right all along.
I have studied parapsychology and without a doubt I firmly believe that evolution is a satanic plot injected into our school system to not only challenge the Bible and implode Christianity, but to breed and brainwash generations of children into becoming fanatic atheists through the interpretations of men (like Hugh Ross), in preparation for their New Order of Secularism.
Many Christians start from the position that the Bible is right and therefore must be the word of God, and many atheists start from the position that the Bible is wrong and is therefore not the word of God, but many other people like myself take the position that if the Bible is true or not, then we should see this and that, and if its not then we wont, so in that way its falsafiable, so I put this to the test and there is stacks of evidence in favour of all the Bibles accounts, and zero evidence for evolution. I dont even believe in macro-evolution anymore either, because varieties within kinds are natural processes within nature due to genetic homeostasis, which maintains and puts up barriers around the genetic variability within a species or kind.
But anyway, im going on a bit now, it just irritates me how far these satanic communists have got their fingers into our pies, so anyway, I just want to say to the author, good job with the blog and keep up the good work.
