Young Earth at the Grand Tetons.
If you go to the
Grand Teton National Park the rangers tell you that those mountains were
raised to their present position over a period of 20 million years. Over
this 20 million years there is supposed to be about 20,000 feet of
mountains eroded (1,000 feet per million years). When you hike in the
passes you see much broken rock but very little sand or fine material that
would indicate long periods of erosion. The plain at the foot of these
peaks is dotted with beautiful lakes with much exposed rock and shallow
soil layers. There is no sign of the vast amount of material that should
be there after 20 million years of erosion. These mountains appear to be
young not old. Next time you go to a national park look around and ask the
rangers questions based on the young earth model. For example: "Was the
Grand Canyon caused by a lot of water and a little time instead of a lot of
time and a little water ?" Questions?
