PRESENTS
The Grand Canyon Debate

Considered the icon of canyons, the Grand Canyon is a masterpiece of water erosion. Worldly scientists tell us that the canyon formed over millions of years by “slow water erosion.” If this is true, where is evidence of the carved-out materials? Biblical scientists, on the other hand, point out the many evidences of a catastrophic history in the formation of the canyon; Geologists Doug Bennett and Brent H. Carter participated in a lengthy field review in the summer of 2006 with seven other creation scientists to review and evaluate the evidences on the origin of Grand Canyon. Both geologists believe the canyon was formed by catastrophic water action related to the Biblical Flood.

Brent will present the post-Flood origin of the canyon whereas, Doug will present the canyon formation happening in the latter stages of the flood. This will be a friendly forum to present the evidences of the Grand Canyon genesis in debate format. What will the presented evidences tell you?
