You will see the exact same erosion patterns in fresh ash as in "slowly layered sediment"
It's not an "almost exact replica" of the grand canyon then, is it? The grand canyon isn't made of ash, for one. It's made of a somewhat harder substance known as rock.

I hunt for the truth
I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

My point exactly.
Your point was that the Grand Canyon and the area around Mount St. Helens are actually nothing alike?
Yet the erosion patterns are identical.
No, they're not. And even if they were, like stated, Grand canyon is solid rock, Mt. St. helens is soft ash.
So one can't use the Grand Canyon as an example of millions of years of erosion, if the same feat can be accomplished in days.
But it's not the same, you said as much. It's soft ash, not solid rock. You're not going to tell me you think soft ash has the same hardness, and erodes just as easily as solid rock does, do you?
Similarly, one can't claim crude oil as an example of millions of years of sediments, if the same result can be accomplished in weeks with a load of garbage slop.
You get crude oil from your garbage slop? Mind if I ask for evidence on that? Oh, and by the way, if this were actually true, we wouldn't really be having an oilproblem like we do.
