June is Grand Canyon Month at RSR! Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart continues his Bryan Nickel interview on the origin of the Grand Canyon. Much evidence disproves the claim that the strata of the canyon were laid down over 250 million years and indicates rapid deposition. Our List of Problems with the Canyon's Millions of Years includes the flat boundaries, the "missing" 100 million years of strata, the nautiloids, dinosaur soft tissue, 14c everywhere, and the "block". See the list of problems just below Bryan's video. RSR's List of Problems with the Canyon's Millions of Years: - Flat boundaries (parallel, no erosion "paraconformites"), called flat gaps between the Grand Canyon's forty rock layers that were deposited "allegedly" over a period of 250 million years show virtually NO evidence of erosion. The Grand Canyon reveals buried strata like nowhere else on Earth. And it reveals that the sedimentary layers have characteristically flat, horizontal, and parallel boundaries, not unlike laminated wood (see right). If the secular model were correct, and this mile deep stacking of sediments were laid down over hundreds of millions of years, then erosion, which is constant and relentless, would guarantee that there would be no such parallel uniformity to the boundaries of these layers. The vast majority of the Earth's sedimentary layers were laid down rapidly. (Their minerals were agitated into their varying degrees of characteristic purity and conformity by a process known as liquefaction, but that's something we'll talk about on Part 3 of our canyon series.) - The claimed missing 100 million years of strata, at a "flat gap" boundary no less, where mainstream geologists (including the USGS and the National Park Service) claims that the entire geological epochs of what's called the Silurian and the Ordovician are simply missing. The arrowhead on the on the photo indicates where those 100 million years supposedly occurred, yet without leaving a trace of their alleged passage! No deposition, and, for 100 million years, no erosion! Wow. Startling! - The nautiloid fossils in the bottom layer of the Redwall Limestone, millions of them, an average of 1 for every 4 square meters. UNFINISHED FROM HERE. Please check back later today! - Nautiloid proves rapid limestone formation. - rememberthenautiloids.com: In the Grand Canyon there is a limestone layer averaging seven feet thick that runs the 277 miles of the canyon (and beyond) that covers hundreds of square miles and contains an average of one nautiloid fossil per square meter. Along with many other dead creatures in this one particular layer, 15% of these nautiloids were killed and then fossilized standing on their heads. Yes, vertically. They were caught in such an intense and rapid catastrophic flow that gravity was not able to cause all of their dead carcasses to fall over on their sides. Famed Mount St. Helen's geologist Steve Austin is also the world's leading expert on nautiloid fossils and has worked in the canyon and presented his findings to the park's rangers at the invitation of National Park Service officials. Austin points out, as is true of many of the world's mass fossil graveyards, that this enormous nautiloid deposition provides indisputable proof of the extremely rapid formation of a significant layer of limestone near the bottom of the canyon, a layer like the others we've been told about, that allegedly formed at the bottom of a calm and placid sea with slow and gradual sedimentation. But a million nautiloids, standing on their heads, literally, would beg to differ. At our sister stie, RSR provides the relevant Geologic Society of America abstract, links, and video. - The rock walls of the barbed canyons have drooping, gently curved sediments, “what Bob describes as wildly downward curved”, smoothly bent, arched layers of rock, in the barbed canyons (at 1 hr into video). This rock is not metamorphic, meaning that it was not heated enough to melt and softly de
