How did the layers or "strata" form in the Grand Canyon? Does the evidence reinforce the biblical worldview or the secular worldview? In this episode, Mr. P. and Dr. Andrew Snelling help us understand how erosion created the layers that were formed in the Grand Canyon from a lot of water in a short amount of time and not millions of years.
In the experiment, Mr. P and Dr. Snelling show a sandbox model that demonstrates how erosion works. As you look closely at what was deposited on the layers (sedimentary rocks), it shows they contain fossilized footprints and complex creatures that reinforce the catastrophic global flood event. They also simulate an 'uplift' to show what happens to dry and wet layers as forces interact.
As written in Genesis 7:11-13, the Bible gives us the source of the water for the global flood, "all the fountains of the great deep burst forth."
