Interpretation & Meaning in Genesis + Sabbath

No, but I am saying that it’s not impossible.

Said by who? People who disregard the basic rules and principles of how to measure things? People who believe that the Flood was accompanied by accelerated nuclear decay on a scale that, by their own admission, would have released enough heat to vaporise the entire planet if it had any basis in reality?

People who actually respect the basic rules of mathematics and measurement, as the Bible demands that we do, tell us that the Grand Canyon formed between 6 million and 60 million years ago. Long before Noah’s Flood.

Are you familiar with the size and shape of the Grand Canyon? It is 277 miles long, a mile and a half deep, and up to 18 miles wide in places. Furthermore it twists and turns and meanders all over the place for most of its length. Take a look at this photograph of Horseshoe Bend for instance:

I’m sorry, but neither floods nor lake breaches carve out meandering channels like that. The channels carved out by floods and lake breaches are much straighter than that. And it simply isn’t realistic by any stretch of the imagination for a single lake to carve out 277 miles of them to a depth of a mile and a half and a width of up to 18 miles.

No I’d rather you didn’t. Post a link to a freely accessible text-based web page instead. Videos are a very inefficient way of communicating information. It isn’t possible to search them to find the relevant points, it isn’t possible to copy and paste from them into Google to fact check them, and it isn’t possible to skim quickly over parts of the material with which you’re familiar.

If you must post a link to a video, summarise the important points and provide timestamps.
