A Changed View, A Changed Heart

“Let’s go boatin’!” is the call that echoes off the walls of the Grand Canyon during my guided tours. It gets people moving and ready to head down river. In my years as a guide, I’ve had the privilege of taking thousands of people through the Grand Canyon, through what I now believe to be one of God’s true, created wonders.

My love for the Grand Canyon started in 1980 when I went on my first river trip. The following year, I started working as a part-time guide, and in 1983, I left my corporate life to work in the Canyon.

For the first 15 years of my career, I thought that evolution was responsible for forming the Canyon—millions of years of particle-by-particle deposition, interspersed by long periods of erosion. The profound significance of the Canyon was not yet engraved on my heart. I was being prepared, though, for a major shift in thinking...

Indeed Allmendream, if you sincerely ask God to remove the materialist scales from your eyes, the way you see things will change in more ways than one. Swallow you pride, get down on your knees, and ask God to help you see things they way they really are. I know such a prospect can seem a bit frightening, but it is sooooo worth it.

All the best—GGG

PS I’ll be praying for you :o)

Of course this article suffers from 2 major problems:

1) The formation of the Grand Canyon has *nothing* to do with evolutionary theory.
2) The author seems to know nothing about the evidence supporting the great age of the Grand Canyon, and doesn’t seem to care, stating “The Grand Canyon is a symbol of sin and what it once caused. That’s the fundamental truth that is found there.”

Of course, I’d expect nothing better from GGG after his long history of submitting nonsense in these threads.

1) Wrong. The way the Evos interpret the Grand Canyon has EVERTHING to do with uniformitarianism, which is crucial to the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism.

2) The Grand Canyon was created by Noah’s flood, and is thus indeed a massive symbol of sin. The only reason why you can’t see it is because you look through lenses polarized by Darwinian materialism.
