The '''Grand Canyon''' is a 277 mile-long canyon in [[Arizona]] famed for its spectacular views and impressive depth (up to one mile). [[Young earth creationists]] believe that it was formed about 4500 years ago by rushing water after the [[Great Flood]].<ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/cfol/ch3-grand-canyon.asp</ref><ref>http://nwcreation.net/grandcanyon.html</ref>

Most [[geologists]], including the National Park Service, and [[Old earth creationists]] claim that the canyon is about six million years old, cut slowly by continual erosion from the [[Colorado River]].<ref>http://www.nps.gov/grca/</ref>
