The Grand Canyon - Evidence of the Flood II

This is Part II of a series on the Flood and the Grand Canyon

 
Monument Valley, 100 miles North of the Grand Canyon. Notice all the missing material!
Remnant Topography, after the flood washout. The Earth is just a sandbox for God.

              
Left, an ancient shoreline exits North of the Canyon, larger than most of the Great lakes.  A clue to the massive Post-Flood erosion event that formed the Canyon?  Sure could be.  Post-flood deposits would have been soft for years.  Force a natural dam after a flood like at the Missoula and you will have a canyon forming event; a lot of water over a short period of time. Guess what, Monument Valley above sits in the middle of the body of water noted as Grand Lake, what is now the Colorado River feeding the Grand Canyon!!  An ancient shoreline rings the space sown in the lake diagram.  It only makes sense that after the entire planet was overcome by the rift breakups, washouts, earthquakes and massive deposition that the surface of the planet would be unstable for years.  Unstable after-shock events like this were occurring all over the planet.  I can image Noah's family saw some awesome sites!
Right, The Eastern Washington Scabland's now known to be cut by the Missoula Flood For a century geologists were taught that features like this were slowly eroded by the river that flowed through them.  Now we know that many of earth's features were formed by catastrophic means and the streams exist in the paths of these catastrophic leftovers.  So how can the official signs and textbooks ignore this fact explaining the Grand Canyon reflects the work of the Colorado River for eons?  Dogma dies hard.

Another reality strikes. In recent times the Glen Canyon Dam nearly topped due to a huge runoff one year.  The massive steel bypass valves controlling the overflow ducts were spit out as the tremendous force of water passed through them at high speed.  When the water receded the valves and 20ft thick concrete liner were found eroded away.  Subsequent studies determined that once water reaches a certain velocity, CO2 bubbles form and act as jack hammers, writing a new chapter about earth feature forming in the textbooks.
There is no indication of time events between canyon layers, fouling long-age explanations.  If a certain layer is left exposed for years, normal uniform erosion should be evidenced between the layers over time - but not in the Canyon.  This sorting phenomena was seen after the May 1980 eruption of Mt St. Helens, where flows and water deposited layers from the catastrophe rearranged the terrain and then left sorted layers.
 
Fossils in the Canyon
What makes a "fossil"? quick burial, water, sediments and time  Sometimes only a few days with some types of minerals!  This guy got caught at dinner time, not unusual in fossil beds.  Not a slow formation. (1)

Remember the Nautiloid's: In the Grand Canyon there is a limestone layer that runs over 250 miles of the canyon from Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada that contains tens of millions of fossils with an average of one nautiloid fossil per four square meters, with nearly one in seven fossilized standing upright!  Famed geologist Steve Austin, one of the world's leading experts on nautiloid fossils.  Dr. Austin points out, like many of the world's mass fossil graveyards, that this enormous nautiloid deposition that covers more than 5,000 square miles, provides indisputable proof of the rapid formation of this limestone layer.  Contrast that to textbook explanation's which claim that such layers form extremely slowly as grain by grain settles to the bottom of a shallow and placid sea. (2)  It should be noted that most of these creatures are of uniform age all across these rocks.  The Karoo formation in South Africa is estimated a 20,000 ft deep and contains hundreds of Billions of fossils.
An Evolutionary Eye Problem: Trilobites existed on the pre-flood sea floor here in great numbers.  These animals have been found in soft body (New York State) where their eye anatomy was studied.  Turns out they have a very complex lens, capable of adjusting for underwater aberration.  Below the trilobites in the sea floor sediments we find worm fossils, so evolutionists claim trilobites came from worms!  They don’t offer an explanation for the complex transition required or the eye problem, other than one day a worm had a light sensitive spot that evolved into eyes, two of them

Reptiles drown and sink, Mammals bloat and float  leaving an appearance of living in the higher sediments or not found at all as mammal disintegrate while floating.  This is the failing of the entire notion of the evolutionary geologic chart.  The chart is better described as graveyard markers of the flood event, not a sequence of great time.
There is evidence of such, the Moab human sandal prints and Dino footprints at the 10K ft level like T-Rex and aquatic Plesiosaur' buried at high altitudes.  How else can such evidence be explained?  God saw all and it "Grieved His Heart".  The massive fossil beds all over the earth are undeniable evidence of the flood event.  See "the Question of Fossils" session. 
Land animals would be expected to be found on higher ground in such a catastrophe, running to high ground.  It would not be pretty picture of animals and man co-mingling to survive in those height's or in the water with scared and angry toothed animals of all kinds in a panic.


Closer to Home
One cannot be effected by adventuring into the Canyon depths and reflect about what the Rocks are really telling us.  Not a "calm and placid" origin at all. This feature of the Earth is perfect evidence of the World-Wide Flood.  God's Word tells us that the first judgment was by water, but another is coming by fire.  We need to pay attention to these truths and warnings and search them out.  The immensity of the Flood event challenges the ability of the mind to comprehend it.  Reflecting upon it is both humbling and fearful at the same time. Trapping marine animals over 50ft in length thousands of feet high in the mountains is mind-boggling to conceive. They are calling all calling to us, as are the people that perished, See, Act!  Look at all this Evidence! 

Many people say God is non-existent or religion is the author of death and pain.  But this is not true, few people know that the Bible teaches that after Christ was crucified he traveled to a holding place in the earth that held the spirits of those lost in the flood! He spoke to them - He gave them another chance!  He is the judge of people's actions and motives, He see's all and knows all.  He is a good and understanding God, we can trust Him! 

To connect with the God who did this becomes important.  Through Jesus Christ we have that venue too embrace the Creator and His Son, sent as a messenger to live and speak to us all. 

Christ mentions this event, He says; 'Just as in the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be!"

Now is the time, do not wait.  Events in the world now tells us that the second Judgment the Bible teaches is coming, act before it is too late!  God Bless you in your Quest for Truth!
