Instant Canyon, Just Add Water

Did you see this story on a new canyon in Texas? “A torrent of water from an overflowing lake sliced open the earth in 2002, exposing rock formations, fossils and even dinosaur footprints in just three days,” reports Michelle Roberts. The article goes on to compare this, the Canyon Lake Gorge which is 80 feet deep, to the Grand Canyon, which it says took much longer to form. I bring it up here because it is the very thing creationists point to as evidence of canyons and caves forming during the massive rush of water that flooded the earth several thousand years ago.

Being a failed intellectual, I think that’s all I can write in this post.

  1. I was there a few months after the event. It’s a big gully, and way cool… but hardly another grand canyon.

    The geology is fascinating, though, in no small part because of the anamolous manner of formation.

    In any case, no evidecne, either way. Just a really cool event scar.
