Hi, CBG! We always need biologists around here!
Yet according to evolutionary theory, erosion and plate subduction have been going on as long as the oceans have existed, an alleged three billion years.
Possibly true, at today's erosion rates. That would be "erosion rates with mechanized agriculture and forestry stripping huge swaths of land nearly bare-nekkid." I don't have numbers at hand, but I would be very unsurprised if current erosion rates are many times the rates of just 200 years ago.

Re: About That Refute
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.
Which "scientists" try to say that? My limited geology suggests that the Grand Canyon is some tens of millions of years old, though the rock down deep in the gorge is a couple of billion. And the Mississippi is at least fifty million years old, if the sediments down below it in its delta are any indication.
Where are you getting your info?

Re: Age Of "The" Mississippi.
"the Upper Mississippi River as we know it has been in existence for 10,000 years".
Aha! Can you say "icecap," class? "Wisconsonian glaciation?"
Tell me the riddle!
