A Testament to Catastrophe

Answers with Ken Ham

This is Ken Ham, founder of the life-sized Noah’s Ark attraction, the Ark Encounter.

Ever wondered how the Grand Canyon formed? Well, the signs at the canyon will tell you it happened slowly, as the Colorado River wore away at the rocks. But the truth is it wasn’t a little water over a long time—it was a lot of water over a little time!

Tomorrow we’ll dive into what that means. But today I want to highlight how it’s even possible for those rock layers exposed at the Canyon to exist.

You see, those layers were laid down rapidly during the global flood. That’s why there’s no slow and gradual erosion between the layers. There wasn’t time!

Those layers are a testimony to a worldwide geological catastrophe.
