How could the Genesis flood form the Grand Canyon?
If there was a world wide flood, the topography of the Grand Canyon is precisely what one would expect to find. Why the rest of the world doesn’t look more like the Grand Canyon is the mystery to me. In this region there are thousands of square miles of horizontal strata, thousands of feet thick. It is believed to have been uplifted from below sea level, since most of the sediments are of marine life, to over a mile above sea level. According to modern geological theory this uplift occurred not once, but several times, without disturbing the horizontality of the strata. Each era was represented by a period of uplift followed by normal erosion and deposition. The question is, how could an area this large remain uniform and horizontal over great periods of time, while undergoing frequent and cataclysmic uplifts? A more sensible way for accounting for the symmetry of the region can be explained in terms of a rapid deposition of sediment-laden water. The canyon consists of fossil-laden sed
