Only smart people know the age of the earth: part 1.2

While a recent study in the journal Science suggested that the Grand Canyon was about 16 million to 17 million years old (much older that previously thought), a new study, detailed in the journal Geology, argues that geological evidence still supports the long standing age of 6 million years.livescience.com

What do scientists do when they have too many variables to make a solid theory? They give it more time. In the scientific community, dates for events or creation of geological spectacles are created with theories. When a new variable comes about that throws a wrench in to it, they just make the date older (throwing more time at it makes it all better).

The Grand Canyon is a perfect example of this. The age of this geological spectacle is argued over continuously (see above). It was 6 million years old but then when new problems arose to this theory it became 17 million years old. Time cures everything, even poor science.

I am currently in the roofing business. I spend all day on a roof figuring out how to make water run off effectively. We have a saying in my business, water only runs up hill in china, and the grand canyon.

Simply put the most north end of the Grand Canyon is at a lower elevation than the middle. Yea, water ran up hill for a time to wear the limestone away to its current elevation at the base of the canyon. The only way this is possible is if you slap a couple of zeros on the age of the canyon. Don't even get me started on the tectonic theory that just the walls of the canyon raised over a thousand feet while the base stayed the same.

Dont belive me? go on google earth and run your curser along the ridge of the canyon.

So from now on when you cant explain something in life or you get something wrong, just explain it by saying "well i did my math home work a 100 million years ago" or "the reason red is red, is because 1 trillion million years" it works for scientists!

Want a better theory for the Grand Canyon? look up creation science evangilism.

Thank you. This blog took 52 zillion years to create.
