The Grand Canyon Testifies to a Global Flood

We can have a hard time comprehending such vastness that seems to know no ends, but some places give us just a glimmer of understanding. The Grand Canyon is one of those!

We can have a hard time comprehending such vastness that seems to know no ends, but some places give us just a glimmer of understanding. The Grand Canyon is one of those—its expanse is so great we can only enjoy it in small sections at any given time. The astounding length—277 miles—plunges to a depth of 6,000 feet, and its rim grows to a width of 18 miles in some places. It is truly magnificent and awe-inspiring.

How did the Grand Canyon form? The details are as captivating as the canyon itself. Water, in all its destructive power, can sometimes create things of beauty even in a fallen word, and that’s exactly what happened at the Grand Canyon. The catastrophic erosion caused by the global flood and post-flood world formed the masterpiece we see today.

Like the trickle of a small stream, the Colorado River that cuts through the canyon today is a small reminder of the powerful force of water that forged this landmark less than five thousand years ago. There is so much to learn from this canyon. It testifies to our Creator, confirms the flood account in Genesis, and gives a powerful demonstration of the chaos of the post-flood world.
