A while back, I don't know how many posts ago, I can't read well enough to find the post I'm thinking of, I believe I made a big mistake when I was arguing that the eroded material at the base of exposed blocks of strata should be an indicator of the time factor that would disprove the claims of evolution of millions of years. That is,k the amount of eroded debris at the base of the walls of the Grand Canyon don't doesn't seem to be enough to hae taken millions of years.
I think I ereferred to the entire age of the geological column as my reference point, hundreds of millions of years, but of course that is very wrong as the walls would not have been exposed until it awas all dlaid down and the canyon was cut. The latest age I heard for the cutting of the canyon is seventeen million years. That's still an enormous long time by comparison with the forty five hundred years since the Flood, which is what I think is the righrt time frame for the erosion of the walls. Seventeen million years should ahve accumulated a lot more than iis there it seems to me, and I think someone is keeping track of the rate so maybe that figure is out there somewhere. I'd like to know it.
But my guess is that forty five hundred years is probably about right. For the walls of the Grand Canyon and the monuments in Monument Fvalley as well. Just a guess but any millions of years is way too much for the erosion to be so little.
