A Flood of Controversy

Re “Religion, Geology Collide at the Grand Canyon,” Jan. 7: Creation science books make fascinating reading. Did you know that the sedimentary rock layers visible in the Grand Canyon were laid down by the Old Testament flood at the same time as the flood cut through them to form it? Amazing.

Another interesting thing is that the vast amounts of water (many times the volume of all the oceans put together) required to cover the entire Earth to a depth of over five miles above the current sea level came from titanic caverns. After the flood this water drained back into said underground chambers. We need these creationist geologists to find all that water and end water shortages forever.
