Learned something new today.
I thought Lake Mead was only about 70 years old.
He’s been very busy digging around finding lost cities, has written a ton of books and has placed ancient Egyptians in the vicinity of the Grand Canyon.
And not to be sarcastic, So What, our Father has all the answers, consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these as the lilys of the field have more beauty than can be explained.
I'm sure it pisses off our Father when the humans he created try to use their curiosity and brains to figure things out about the world he made.
Why do we insist on trying to learn new things? Why can't we just be satisfied with the Holy Word?
Repent all you damn scientists!! (Except if you invented the internet. Or microwave ovens.)
Can you imagine that little seven-year-old calling him Daddy? Or the seven-year-old’s mother, for that matter.
This probably won't help David Hatcher Childress, but I heard someone just last night on AM Radio, talking about "Egyptian artifacts", "mummies", and some old miner being blinded by (...?....) when he stumbled upon some lost trove, down in the canyon. It was on Coast to Coast. Was it Childress?
I find it amazing what silly stories geologists can tell themselves. And few of the stories are sillier than the conventional wisdom about the origin of the Grand Canyon. The river didn't just carve the canyon. It carved it in concert with the uplifting of all the rock along the length of the canyon. They say. Or, anyway, they said.

I’ve been living in Arizona since 1981. I suppose I should go see that old canyon one of these days. I hear it’s grand.
All rejoice in His power and love, we honor Him in praise.
I remember that the first time I visited Arizona thirty five years ago, I saw the GC and Oak Creek Canyon. Because I could physically drive into and through Oak Creek and exit in beautiful Sedona, it was more inspiring.
The Grand Canyon from the rim is awesome, but it is just too immense to digest from a visit to the rim alone.
I have had hopes that before I get too old I can amend that impression by actually back packing into the big ditch and then obtain the full impression. I alway loved “The Man Who Walked Through Time”.
what are you waiting for? 27 years and you haven't seen it yet?
To really see the canyon in all it's glory, you need to hike to the bottom. You wont regret it!
Wha-aelll... some of 'em should at least cut back on the dope
since it just aint natural, and it aint fair either. How's the rest of supposed to know the canyon is 55 million years old? I mean, it's just a bunch of air, aint it? ---------------

But not in learning, apparently.
I've seen it, it looks older than that. I'd say 80-85 years old.
The canyon itself doesn't look a day older than 14,000,000 years.

Thats what I call a natural wonder(s) of the world.
Don’t believe it.
The concensus is that it was formed 6 million years ago
99% of scientists believe this, the debate is OVER!
This crackpot denier must be in the pay of “Big Geology”.
Actually, everyone knows the canyon was formed when a Scotsman lost a shilling down a rabbit hole..
50 million years? That’s not 9 times older than previously thought, that’s 7637.0856881014204979379868642126 times older!
Ping :)
