During early June,1998 I had the opportunity to visit
the North Rim of Grand Canyon and I found that the park rangers are telling
a tall tale of how the canyon was formed. The problem that they face is
the rim of the canyon is over 2000 feet above the level of the Colorado
River upstream in southern Utah. The river would have to run UPHILL to cut
the canyon. To overcome this they have fabricated a series of rivers that
no longer exist and in some cases have disappeared without a trace. The
ranger admitted that this explanation was difficult to justify but "is
the best the geologists can do". The Creationist's explanation that a
massive amount of water was released in Utah and cut the canyon in a very
short amount of time is far more feasible than the "missing rivers"
scenario. If you carefully look at the canyon there are a number of
features that indicate catastrophic formation. Recommended resources:
