AIG claims that the “fact” that the rock layers bent without fracturing indicated that they must have been deformed before they had had a chance to dry out. This isn’t correct anyway, because rocks can plastically deform without breaking under heat and pressure over long periods of time. On the other hand, the fact that they were fractured indicates that they must have been deformed after they had solidified.
Here are a couple of more detailed discussions on the matter:
- Questioning Answers In Genesis: "Rock layers folded, not fractured" — or are they?
- Six bad arguments from Answers in Genesis (Part 6) – GeoChristian
- Evidences for a Young Earth | Letters to Creationists (search for “folded rocks”)
So how come the USGS managed it? The photo is one of a series of a hundred or so photos of the Grand Canyon, and only a tiny minority of them have people in them.
Also, why is one of the people concerned exactly in front of one of the fractures that AIG so adamantly claims do not exist?
