The grand canyon was formed by a stream of water flowing uphill for billions of years.
Don’t you have a science book?
Yeah, but I turned it upside down.
You see, as a kid I played on the dirt, made rivers and streams and watch stuff move, helped build earth works with my Dad and Grandpa, saw things up close.
The more water, the more and faster movement. Radical inputs brought about radical changes, but minor inputs didn’t do much at all. Hence the need for “time immemorial”, I didn’t fall for it in HS.
Indeed, I spent several years in college as a youth getting the indoc, but I always wound up asking “why” and that bothered most of the profs. I finally figured out they didn’t know why, but were glad to get the paycheck and repeat the mantra....
One Biology Prof did care He was kindly enough to hand me a well marked up copy of the book of Genesis.
