It could because it shows a smaller canyon than the Grand canyon form in less than a day. The layers in the smaller canyon would normally be estimated to have taken thousands or millions or more years to form by geologists using the evolutionists view. So this proves that the Grand Canyon could have formed much quicker than was previously believed.

What evidence that points to an old earth most undermines your belief that the earth is very young and which you have most difficulty rebutting?

Is this a rhetorical question??

For one, you are wrong about the 6000 years, and do not understand the basic fundamentals of the scientific method - postulation, data gathering, verification, conclusion, testing.

So a 25 feet deep canyon was carved through mud and ash in one day.

You do understand that the Grand Canyon was carved through nearly a mile of rock, right?

No that is not what happened, you obviously did not read the article carefully. I will quote some of the relavent parts of the article below.

You are speacking of an evolutionists belief system when you say the Grand Canyon was carved through nearly a mile of rock. That is not know to be fact. The Little Grand Canyon 1/40 th of the Big Grand Canyon will look like it was carved through solid rock in time too.

Up to 400 feet thickness of strata have formed since 1980 at Mount St. Helens.

A deposit accumulated in less than one day, on June 12, 1980, is 25 feet thick and contains many thin laminae and beds. Conventionally, sedimentary laminae and beds are assumed to represent longer seasonal variations, or annual changes, as the layers accumulated very slowly. Mount St. Helens teaches us that the stratified layers commonly characterizing geological formations can form very rapidly by flow processes.

Mudflows, from Mount St. Helens, were responsible for the most significant erosion. A mudflow on March 19, 1982, eroded a canyon system up to 140 feet deep in the headwaters of the North Fork of the Toutle River Valley, establishing the new dendritic pattern of drainage.

The little "Grand Canyon of the Toutle River" is a one-fortieth scale model of the real Grand Canyon. The small creeks which flow through the headwaters of the Toutle River today might seem, by present appearances, to have carved these canyons very slowly over a long time period, except for the fact that the erosion was observed to have occurred rapidly!

Talk about looking for evidence which fits your hypothesis, while ignoring evidence to the contrary.

Mud and ash aren't solid rock. The difference is obvious.

Go and see for yourself if it is solid rock or not, just on a smaller scale than the Grand Canyon. 😏

7 Wonders of Mount St. Helens

Canyons formed in five months. In the five months following the eruption two canyons were formed by mud and pyroclastic flows, establishing drainages for the 1.5 x 2.0 mile crater. The primary drainage, Step Canyon, is up to 200m deep. To its east is Loowit Canyon. Both canyons cut through 30m of solid rock. Creeks flow through each canyon. The typical evolutionary explanation is that a creek slowly forms a canyon over vast ages. In this case we know that the canyons were formed quickly; then a stream began to run through them. Textbooks say the most spectacular canyon in the world, the Grand Canyon, was formed by stream erosion over a hundred million years. Now scientists who specialize in geological erosion believe it was formed rapidly just like these canyons at MSH.

Evolutionists have been lying for 200 years to spread their propaganda of spontaneous generation, ape men, and billions and millions of years. Why should we expect them to stop now?

No, you have that backwards...

When it get to the point of calling your opponents liars, you lose me.

It is a proven fact that the evolutionists have lied in the past to promote their theory against the creation by God. So calling them liars is just telling the truth. The atheists and evolutionists are countinually calling YECs liars. Do the atheists and evolutionists lose you too?

I understand. It would be nice if no one was a liar. However, that is not reality.
