if the earth is so old, shouldn't we find evidence of its age, in the form of multiple Grand Canyons, on more than one continent?
What about all the valleys between the mountains and mountain ranges of the world? Much of this is obvious evidence of long histories of erosion going back far older than the oh so young Grand Canyon.
Beyond that, close examination of the Earths geology reveals the remains of mountains and mountain ranges that have been worn (eroded) down to just a fragments of what they once were. The U.S. Appalachian Mountains are what remains of what was once like the European Alps.
In northern Minnesota, U.S., there are the remains (roots) of mountains that are now worn down to (at most) modest hill size.
Where do you think that all the sediments and sedimentary rocks of the Earth have their origins? Mountains now erroding or erroded away.
