The Grand Canyon is a 277 mile long canyon in Arizona famed for its spectacular views. Young earth creationists claim that it was formed about 4500 years ago by rushing water after the Great Flood. Most geologists believe that the canyon is about 6 million years old, cut slowly by continual erosion from the Colorado River. This has exposed strata dating as far back, at the furthest point, to two billion years.[1]
