Re: More (bad) ideas about the Grand Canyon
But the scablands are too easily explained away as caused by a less than worldwide flood and they don't have any of the interesting features of the Grand Canyon.
I think you are missing the point of the scablands.
They are evidence of a series of meltwater floods that swept the area at the end of the last glacial period. The dates are in excess of 12,000 years.
Now here's the problem: we have good evidence of the timing and extent of these late glacial floods in eastern Washington but we have no such evidence of a worldwide flood only about a third as old.
Hmmmm.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Your graphic, both in your post and in the original, are too small to read.
Do you have a larger version you could point us to?
