When you start believing that all evidence contradictory to Biblical literalism and inaccuracy can be thrown out you start to refuse to accept all science, no matter how elementary. I seriously doubt any Creationists here are geocentrists, but I'll leave a URL to a site that pushes geocentrism. I've been watching it for a while and it occasionally changes. I have concluded that it is not a joke.
This shows what happens when you start with an unchallengeable assumption. Creationists here may argue that the Bible does not say that universe is geocentric, but that is beside the point. This shows how far people will go if they believe the Bible claims the universe is geocentric.

(1) Where on the link that you gave does it mention a "rock formation" that formed in under a million years? (2) How many rock formations do you know of that formed in under a million years without volcanism and impacts?

Actually once-thought long processes still are thought to take a long time. And your message is invalid unless you can demonstrate that before MSH's eruption people believed that catastrophic processes associated with volcanism were also thought to take millions of years. I think geologists have known about at least some of these "Young Earth MSH Revelations" since Pompeii.
Also some of these cannot be extrapolated elswhere. When you have 300 ft of volcanic dust with the consistency of flour being deposited in streams, naturally you will get "canyons" more quickly than you would carve through sandstone.
