Overlooking the Grand Canyon, Del Tackett and geologist Steve Austin discussing the history of the rock strata from Creation Week to the present day, where we are introduced to the conventional paradigm argued by Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin. Afterward, Tackett and Dr. Austin venture down to the Colorado River and talk about the catastrophic processes were necessary to carve out such a deep canyon through thousands of feet of rock.
Dr. Austin is a field research geologist who has done research on six of the seven continents of the world. His research has taken him by helicopter into the crater on Mount St. Helens, by bush plane onto glaciers in Alaska, by raft through the Grand Canyon, on horseback into the high Sierra, by elevator into the world’s deepest coal mines, by SCUBA onto the Great Barrier Reef, by rail into Korean backcountry, by foot onto barren plateaus of southern Argentina, and by four-wheel drive into remote desert areas of Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Austin received his PhD from Pennsylvania State University in sedimentary geology.

Love you Steve Austin and Andrew Snelling. Thank you so much!!! Please keep up your GREAT work. I really think your geology lessons are helping convince many to BELIEVE in Jesus Christ!

[@chrise842]

It can't do this. That's a task too much. You can merely remove obstacles, hindrances and stumbling stones to natural theology (Creators hints, demands of natural law, need for a Savior, ...). But faith in Christ never comes ever from natural law, natural revelation, acceptance of a Creator and superior law maker. That's considered so called pre-evangelism and obstacle removal. But it has no regenerative power in itself at all. The one and only source of spiritual renewal is the supernatural revelation of the Gospel and it's fruits are supernatural conversion of any believer, which is never a natural/rational process. You would need the Holy Spirits work with that which is bound to the supernaturally revealed Scriptures and Means of Grace in these days. It's also making sense because merely learning about a mighty creator and law maker can maybe create awe and not seldomly fear as we are weak and not comparable to his perfection. But only the supernaturally revealed Gospel regenerates a person born into original sin and gives a truly thankful relationship with the Savior-Creator. Without that even with the best apologetics one is either a pharisaic hypocrite or if a realistic person filled with fear for retribution because of imperfection and sins. Natural theology is merely a starting point for real religious talk, but it doesn't convert anyone to Christian faith. There's at a certain point no way around the message which was considered a "shame to the Jews and a folly to the Greeks" as Paul said. We can't"prove" people into heaven without risking to speak also about the "foolishness of God"(Corinthians), which is the Gospel that surpasses our reasoning.

@silent listenener, curious that you would post a comment and then delete it. You said, "its only an issue for christians to accept anything before so called god and jesus big bang makes more sense on fairness never witnessed anything godly ever." The lack of proper punctuation in your comment makes understanding your post somewhat problematic, but I'll give it a try. Actually, secularists have a problem accepting dogma, too. The "Clovis First" fiasco is only one of hundreds of examples of science being derailed by blind acceptance. The few scientists who dared to ignore the "Clovis First" dogma helped to remove that impediment to science. The "climate change" nonsense is yet another form of secular insanity parading as "logic." Big Bang does indeed make sense. And the "force" behind that start of the universe was none other than the Supreme, perfect Cause known to most of us as God. And I truly pity you who have never experienced anything beyond your own limited, physical existence. Perhaps, one day, you can experience the spiritual half of reality and start to "see" that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I submit that the last of the flood drainage itself near the end was enough on its own to carve out the canyon in that area, and not some burst lake as he suggests.. People forget that a far bigger erosion took away nearly all the land above the Grand Canyon for a vast number of miles leaving only buttes and mesas projecting higher. Monument Valley's thousand-foot-tall sentinels are mere erosional remnants of what was once there leaving a landscape so torn away that it's like the Grand Canyon inside out. The Rocky Mountains themselves were torn away at their eastern leading edge by the torrent. Whatever once stood in what is now the western Great Plains was obliterated by a fluvial torrent that that stretched in the final phases of the Flood drainage from the Rocky Mountains in the West, across vast terrain in the East finally bounded by the Appalachian Mountains. The Grand Canyon was a mere final trickle in that region.

Cavitation erosion in naval propellers can give more examples supporting the power of water flow

[@questioneverything2488]

QUESTION ABOUT DIAMONDS Carbon -14 dating is based on the fact that living organisms-like trees, plants, people, and animals-absorb Carbon-14 into their tissue. When they die, the Carbon-14 starts to change into other atoms Carbon -13 and Carbon -12 over time. Scientists can then estimate how long an object has been dead by counting the remaining Carbon -14 atoms. Carbon-14 has a half-life of about 5,730 years. That means half the atoms in a sample will change into other atoms, a process known as “decay. Over millions of years Carbon-14 should not exist in diamonds if they are supposedly millions of years old according to scientists,; but C14 does exist in diamonds. Because of the short length of the carbon-14 half-life, carbon dating is only accurate for items that are thousands to tens of thousands of years old. Now if we use the ½ life curve this means for diamonds to lose all their C14 it would take about 69 thousand years, much greater than 6 thousand. So, the question is: did the Earth as a rock in space exist before the creation story? I would appreciate your opinion.

[@mikew8100]

I've always thought that it would be likely that the layers seen in the canyon would not have fully solidified at the time the canyon was carved, being still very freshly deposited by the global flood. This would help explain the fact that the canyon is so large and also the immense size of the many side canyons.

[@Ashnola]

The upper layers of the canyon may not have solidified at the time they were carved out, but the basement layers (i.e. below the great unconformity/pre-flood) would have been solid rock. Just goes to show the power of water.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

zero evidence... Canyon formed over 1 million years, and is still forming. You have been lied to. Rock strata to 100 million years to form when area was a shallow sea for 1 billion years. there is NO 6,000 year in any geologic scale.

[@ZhmiKnopa]

My view is that the rock was already solidified, which is why it is so jagged. Soft material erodes smoothly, hard material requires cavitation to rip it apart - much like the Columbia River basin in eastern Washington. I’ve seen both formations and they both show cavitation, not erosion.

[@paulbriggs3072]

@@ZhmiKnopa I disagree. I have seen overnight flood erosion in soft clay and sand on construction sites here in New York's Finger Lakes region that left miniature jagged canyons in the sediment complete with fluvial sand and silt deltas at the very tail end, along with jagged V-shaped erosional side gorges. Much of the delta created was stratified with different clay, sand, and silt layers and then itself was cut into forming yet another jagged gorge. All in one night.

[@sbkarajan]

Have you looked at the Olive Grove in Turkey, after the earthquake about 1 month ago? They look like a mini grand canyon. Can Grand Canyon have been made that way? I know that they tell us it's made of water erosion, but I think water erosion should look smooth. Grand Canyon is nothing but smooth, it looks like it was made yesterday, or maybe 10,000 years ago at best. Pyramid and sphynx erosions look older than Grand Canyon.

[@valerieprice1745]

I think earthquakes on a massive scale must have been part of the formation of the Grand Canyon, but there are erosion features like the Lake Missoula flood, so I think the quakes were probably only a spreading event that gave the floodwater a favorable path to begin carving it out.

The Grand Canyon looks similar to a formation on Mars, which is believed to have been caused by, what was ostensibly, an electric arc.

[@ZhmiKnopa]

Other scientists believe there was water there, removed from the planet by a gravitational battle between two massive bodies - presumably a loose moon or planet-sized piece of debris may have passed through our solar system. This may also explain the number of comets and the gas or water deposited on Saturn.

The Moon also shows striations in the mountains, did water do that? Mars hills are striated, so Mars must have had water, they say. All planets including Earth really show the affects of electricity/plasma shaping and erosion, and we can reproduce those effects in experiments. The Colorado is an electrical discharge of magnitudes we can not accept, but the model for water creating the Grand Canyon does not hold up if you accept the laminar flow model, just as it does not hold up for glaciers having carved valleys. In my area I found many localised, strong remnant magnetic dips along the river banks (basalt) which could only have been caused by intense lightning, but no one can tell me when such events would have occurred.

If it was caused by several massive and successive tidal waves, then it is possible. Pangea being broken up rapidly would cause massive tectonic activity which in turn would cause this successive action. Look up "Noah's flood and catastrophic plate tectonics".

​@@reidveryan9414 Here's another thought. Noah's ark was built from wood at a time before iron. It was supposedly larger than any wooden boat ever made. The largest wooden ship, reinforced with iron fittings, and designed by professional engineers suffered with leakage between the planks during high seas as the wood flexed. Now imagine a bigger boat, made with out iron by 4 people without steel tools and no knowledge of ship building. Imagine this unlikely vessel surviving not just horrendous storms caused by this cataclysm but the "several massive and successive tidal waves" Tidal waves that could carve out the Grand Canyon in days would have crushed a modern steel vessel much less a wooden one. The whole flood story is unbelievable, once you give it some unbiased thought. Where did the water come from and where did it go? How did tree dwelling animals from Australia and South America get to the Middle East to board a boat and how did they get back? How did humanity increase it's numbers and spread throughout the world so fast since we have writings from Egyptians and China not long after the flood? How come an unbiased scientific community sees no evidence of a world wide flood? How did so many different species fit in a 400 ft boat? If it was only 2 of each "kind" how did they evolve so fast to become the millions of species we see today after only 6,000 years? How did 8 people feed and remove excrement from so many animals? What did the carnivores eat, not only during the flood but after if there were only two of each animal? What did any creature eat after the flood killed off all the vegetation? How did they store enough food for a year? How did salt water fish survive so much fresh water? How did a wooden boat survive the storms and tumult of such a cataclysm?

However, that theory is now twenty years old. There’s recent evidence to refute the spillover theory and reasonable current disagreement among researchers.

[@IsGenesisHistory]

@TheRealTomWendel, you bring up an important point about the evolving nature of scientific theories. It's true that scientific models can change and adapt over time as new evidence emerges. However, it's crucial to recognize that just because a model is a couple of decades old doesn't automatically render it incorrect. In the case of the spillover model regarding the formation of the Grand Canyon, it's important to remember that scientific understanding is an iterative process. While recent evidence may challenge certain aspects of the model, it doesn't necessarily invalidate the model as a whole. In fact, many well-established scientific models have undergone refinement and adjustment as more data became available. The spillover model has played a significant role in our understanding of the Grand Canyon's geological history. It has provided a framework for explaining the formation of the Canyon, including the lower Colorado River and its associated features. Even if it's eventually proven to be incorrect, the model has been instrumental in stimulating scientific inquiry and encouraging geologists to think differently about the Canyon's history. This scenario highlights the importance of scientific debate and the pursuit of knowledge. It's through the process of questioning and testing hypotheses, like the spillover model, that we continue to advance our understanding of the natural world. Whether this model ultimately stands the test of time or not, it has already made valuable contributions to scholarly science and discovery, and it reminds us that scientific understanding is a dynamic and ever-evolving endeavor.

[@TheRealTomWendel]

@@IsGenesisHistoryI appreciate your comment. It may be the case that the spillover model explains part of the Canyon’s formation without explaining it in its entirety. Convergent and changing flows in the lower Canyon may represent another part of the story, along with volcanic flows causing temporary damming in the lower Canyon. In any case, it’s amazing to consider how much the understanding has evolved in just the last few decades. It’s now commonly understood that the carving of the Canyon took much less time and involved more dynamic and cataclysmic processes than previously thought.

IMO many of those who believe and teach long ages "KNOW" the truth of God's Word (Biblical view point) and why the surface of the earth looks as it does today. They just CAN NOT bring themselves to come to Jesus Christ and repent before GOD. They not only refuse to humble themselves before GOD, but they also stand in the way of those who might be seeking The Lord.

I have watched several of your videos now. Great work in proving a great "flood". Great information presented here, it is unfortunate though that you do not realize what you are actually proving.

Ian Strouse "the oceans themselves sweeping across the continents due to geomagnetic reversal". Wow! There's a claim. I suppose you could point us to some evidence for it? And, no, your fevered imagination doesn't count as evidence. FYI There have been 183 such magnetic reversals over the last 83 million years (on average once every ~450,000 years). The latest occurred 780,000 years ago, with widely varying estimates of how quickly it happened. A reasonable estimate of the time that a reversal takes is on average around 7000 years for the four most recent reversals, and not a few days. There are no global flood deposits associated with any of them. Sources: Johnson, Scott K. (11 August 2019).

Full disclosure, I am a Christian and I believe the Bible is completely true, even though I may not fully understand it. In faith, I have chosen to rely that it is the Supreme truth, and the inspired Word of God. There are 2 things going on here....1. the flood event that formed the strata above the great unconformity. 2. the breach of a reservior that carved out grand canyon. Most here are commenting on the latter and it seems to have broader support among Bible believers and unbelievers alike. But I have a question as to 1. the original flood event that formed the strata layers to begin with. If a great flood caused by massive tectonic movements was responsible for laying down thousands of feet of strata as the waters ebbed and flowed on a cataclysmic scale, how could Noah's Ark have survived the turbulence that undoubtedly created waves 1000's of feet tall and whirlpools and immense oceanic flows. Thank you!

[@TheFluffyDuck]

You can walk down and see 1) erosional unconformities, 2) sand dune cross bedding, 3) preserved mudcracks. How can a single “catastrophe” (let’s not hide it you think it was Noah’s flood) have several periods of erosion, and deposition, followed by climatic changes leading to deserts, to braided river systems that dried out seasonally to make mud cracks. Your interpretation is wrong!

[@RodMartinJr]

Great question. And we may never know. We know that the Flood date was not the literal interpretation of Ussher and others. Too many people living on Earth before AND after that date. The actual Flood date seems to be 27,970 BC, right when one offending species went extinct. That species was the source of wickedness, violence and corruption of flesh that was *_SOLVED_* by God's Flood. Ordinary wickedness and violence have continued unto today.

[@KenJackson_US]

It didn't *go* anywhere. It's still here. After it was squeezed out of the mantle, the crust sank to fill the void, which formed the depressions we call oceans today.

[@danieljones6420]

When Noah's flood occurred, enormous earthquakes were caused due to the crust of the Earth splitting and releasing vast amounts of water from under the crust. When this occurred, tectonic plates moved very rapidly (on the order of centimeters to meters per second, instead of the centimeters per year we generally see today), smashing into one another and causing the plates to buckle rapidly. This resulted in mountains being raised, and in this region of land being more sloped toward the west than it had been previously. As the flood waters receded, forming the Grand Canyon, the water flowed into the ocean.

[@freemind..]

@@danieljones6420 - Nicely said. I would point out that the Grand Canyon itself was the result of both a MASSIVE earthquake AND the Flood. The tributaries would not have been created simply by runoff. They are fractures.

[@RodMartinJr]

@@danieljones6420 Interesting hypothesis, but lots of evidence against it. Rapid changes in momentum would have created lots of buckling, but would have required a source for the energy need to change that momentum. For water to cover the tallest mountains, we would need to have had more than twice the current volume of water found in the oceans. Something else is going on in the Flood story than your simplistic explanation can handle. That water didn't simply go to the already full oceans. For instance, what did the Flood solve? God was satisfied with the result, but Genesis only tells us that the reason for the Flood was wickedness, violence and a corruption of flesh. And even the literal Flood date is all wrong. There were too many people only 3 and 13 years after Ussher's Flood date of 2348 BC. Clues are in Genesis, but only recently have they been discovered. The book, *_The Bible's Hidden Wisdom: God's Reason for Noah's Flood,_* talks all about the real reason and the target of the Flood that went extinct at the real Flood date -- 27,970 BC.

A meandering river river is clear, undeniable evidence the river has had a consistent flow for a very long time. Locally we have amazing rivers, like the Buffalo River, White River, and Little Red River, that have eaten though a raised plateau (Ozarks). I can kayak the day, traveling 10 miles, and end the day a mile from my start. The problem is compounded, because meanders eventually change the direction of a river leaving clear evidence of its past path. So there must be an explanation of its current meandering and past. Absolutely no way the wandering Buffalo with its amazing beauty and cliffs were from a massive flood. The same holds true for the Colorado River.

Think creatively! Think of a number of ways things are formed. OK - Here we go!. The Grand Canyon was formed in the days of Peleg. The Colorado Plateau was explosively uplifted after the Flood in the days of Peleg. This is why there were so many mass extinctions! The heat from this explosive uplift caused ongoing evaporation, rainfall, and ongoing flooding. These are the floodwaters that carved the Grand Canyon. As far as a lake for the floodwaters source, creationists should look at the Missoula strandlines. These are not strandlines but are aligned with and formed by the Belt Supergroup metasedimentary rock layers. What should you believe? Popular opinion or facts and evidence?
