    Paul Bunyan's blue ox did it.

    As an Atheist, I actually believe there was a great flood. I do not think that the Grand Canyon was formed from the Great Flood, however, I remember reading somewhere that scientifically there was a great flood.

    However, I do not believe that a greybeard told a man to build a big enough boat to house 2 of every animal in existence in order to escape the flood.

    That's just dumb.

    Do you know how to read? Try reading the following: http://www.chem.tufts.edu/science/franksteiger/gra... WHICH PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF HOW THE GRAND CANYON FORMED. Hint: it's not by the "Great Flood".

    But thanks for providing statements that can easily be fact-checked from the scientific literature, and will produce more critical thinkers on the R&S board. We certainly could use a lot more.

    Gravity pooled water into a river which meandered toward the ocean. Over millennia that water and other elements wore away layers of the earth slowly carving out deep recesses exposing the various strata of rock.

    btw I am an atheist but I'm not particularly smart. Anyone of average intelligence knows this.

    No one -absolutely no one - could possibly be so ignorant that he could not tell

    the difference between erosion caused by a river over a great length of time

    and flooding that resulted from excessive rainfall.

    That is why your question is clearly here to make Christians look stupid.

    In fact, that is unnecessary, since all religious belief is totally irrational.

    There is no need to make believers look any less thoughtful.

    Two turtles, each pulling the Earth in opposite directions ripped it apart, forming the grand canyon.

    Poor old Paul Bunyan was tired and drug his axe instead of carrying it on his shoulder, and that's how we got the Grand Canyon. God, as you will remember, grew up on another continent, so he made the natural wonders over there.

    Thank you for standing up for Jehovah God. He appreciates every effort you make on His behalf. However, we are pretty sure the grand canyon was cut by the erosion of the river that runs through it. Such a depth would have taken a very long time.

    No one is sure what geographical features were caused by the flood although I am sure there are many.

    I don't know man. Google it. Ask a history or science teacher. Go to a library. It's not like the bible states "and then the great canyon was born!"

    It was created when the Great Goddess picked up the great deceiver Yahweh (your so-called "God") and hurled Him down to Earth in disgust; His enormous body created the chasm when it hit. (The remains were eaten by wild wolves and coyotes - good riddance.) Sadly, ignorant people still think He's alive to answer their prayers, not knowing the truth of the matter.
