Is the Grand Canyon caused by erosion from the receding waters of Noahs deluge?
No. The Grand Canyon is a gorge 4,000 feet deep, carved out of solid rock up to 500 million years old. Even if we ignore the great age of the rocks, it is just not credible that the receding waters of a single flood could cause such massive erosion in such a short time. In fact, the canyon was caused by slow erosion over the last 6 million years, as the Colorado River gradually carved a deeper and deeper bed.
