Grand Canyon Is Not Old!

Answers with Ken Ham

This is Ken Ham, president and CEO of the apologetics ministry of Answers in Genesis.

The signs at Grand Canyon will tell you it’s millions of years old, carved out slowly by the Colorado River. It’s considered a classic example of long ages and slow processes. But consider this: if those famous layers were laid down slowly over millions of years there should be gradual erosion between the layers. But there isn’t!

We also wouldn’t expect to see multiple layers bent together. The old, dry layers should’ve cracked while the young, wet layers were bent. But multiple layers are bent together! They weren’t laid down slowly over a long time.

The geological evidence doesn’t support long ages for earth’s history.
