Geological Nonsense

My question is why aren't the river valleys deeper as is the Grand Canyon?
Logically it seems the catastrophic Global flood suddenly cut the Grand Canyon somewhat like the Mt St Helens canyon and there wasn't a similar sudden break through condition to cut the other rivers so they didn't get cut deep.
This is not logical! A river is only as deep as its outlet (ie Sea Level). One darn good reason the Mississippi is not as deep as the Grand, is because the total elevation change of the Mississippi is something like 1400 ft.
What is the heck is a "break through condition"?

Secularists are trying to say the Grand Canyon is a couple of billion or so years old and yet the Mississippi is a mere 10000 years old. What gives here??
Those darn Secularist with their data, logic and reasoning!
Like any geological structure rivers have different ages. Rivers are temporary from a Geological perspective. BTW the Mississippi is older than 10k years, however note the character of the river changes drastically with time.

It appears they are trying to have it both ways so as to cover for both the deep GC and the relatively shallow Mississipi Valley as well as the relatively nonpronounced and small Mississippi Delta.
Rivers are only as deep as they need be and no deeper.
Mississippi river sediments are *not* small! Nor shallow!
The Mississippi river sediments are measured in miles or kilometers.
Which by the way is shot to the head for a young earth argument. It takes long periods of time to compress, dewater, lithify, and sink huge amounts of sediments.
You are visiting too many evil fraudulent Creationist websites.

Bump d bump bump
Why do the flood geology threads around here quickly go dim. It was one of the reason I came here to start with.
Where are all the hotshot flood geologists? Is it the lack of flood evidence or is it the overly aggressive stance of the old time geologists that cause this lopsided response?
Edited by iceage, : No reason given.
