My Grand Canyon Challenge

[AV1611VET]

According to Wikipedia:

A canyon ... is a deep cleft between escarpments or cliffs resulting from weathering and the erosive activity of a river over geologic time scales.

If the Grand Canyon appeared in Peleg's lifetime, then I submit "Grand Canyon" is a misnomer.

Thoughts?

I'll respond here since this is your only challenge (I still think you need to come up with a better term since they're not really challenges. Thought experiments, yes, but not challenges) that I actually like right from the off.

In the context you provide: that the Grand Canyon formed from the supposed split of the continents from Pangea during the time of Peleg, yes, calling the Grand Canyon a canyon would be a misnomer since canyons are formed, and this is something that can be observed in real time, through the weathering and erosive activity of rivers.

What you continually propose in your claim about it being formed from the mass split of the single massive supercontinent into the current ones we have is not workable with what we see from the evidence. A split such as what your suggest would have MASSIVE evidence, such as major faults appearing the geography and geology around it, plus massive catastrophic evidence in the rocks from the force and energy needed to create such an act. Nothing of which we see around the Grand Canyon.

Also, mass catastrophes do not create meandering rivers.

Also, voting yourself in a poll is a very bad thing to do since it massively skews the results.

I don't think the Grand Canyon [sic] "formed."

I think it was created in a man's lifetime: possibly in an instance of time.

You wouldn't tear a shirt, then claim the rip "formed," would you?

Yeah, now see... here's where any argument with you falls apart. You always have this "God made everything instantaneously" claim to fall back on, which is not what we see in the real world. But you invoke it like it's a shield to protect yourself from critique.

And technically, tearing a rip is forming a rip since you're creating one. Creating and forming are synonyms.
