EvC Forum: The Flood = many coincidences

The grand canyon is obvious proof that the flood did happen. Here's why: In the Grand Canyon, rock representing three main stages of evolution claimed to span 150 million years is missing. It is impossible that no sedimentary layers were formed over the extremely long period of 150 million years, and the reason evolutionists give for the missing layers is that erosion took place. One problem with this is that scientists have found no evidence of erosion on such a scale in the Grand Canyon. The layers either side of the 150 million years of missing rock are flat against each other, rather than having the uneven surface one would expect from erosion.

Here is a picture (from Wikipedia) of the layers of the Grand Canyon. Would you be willing to indicate the layers you're referring to so that we can get a better grasp on the point you're trying to make?

Even for evolutionists the geologic timescale is unreliable. Fossils only found within certain layers are referred to as 'index fossils' as evolutionists often use these to date specific rock layers. On many occasions index fossils have been discovered far earlier or later than they were supposed to have existed: in these situations the fossils are no longer used as index fossils, proving that dating via index fossils is purely speculative.

Again, more specificity would be a great help. If you have links to reliable websites or reports that show the purely speculative nature of dating, or even that geologists rely solely on 'index fossils' to calculate the age of various rock layers, we'd be more able to address your points.

I mean have you seen a flash flood take place it washes everything away or how about a tsunami?

Yes, it takes everything awayexcept the mountains. Flash floods (even those lasting 40 days

) do not stick around long enough to create the kind of water erosion seen in the world's canyons. The Biblical Flood would have had to have been made up of 'magical water' capable of eroding at rates exponentially greater than the rates at which water today can erode rock and soilalong with having other properties.

And theories that propose 'magical' processes are not, by definition, scientific.
