Are the Signs at Grand Canyon Wrong?

If you have the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon, you’ll see various signs that will tell you how the canyon supposedly formed over many millions of years as the layers were deposited and the Colorado River slowly eroded the rock. But what if those signs are demonstrably wrong based on observational science?

Detailed analysis of the rocks themselves eliminates this interpretation.

Spoiler alert here—they are wrong! The rock layers could not have been laid down slowly over eons of time. Detailed analysis of the rocks themselves eliminates this interpretation. But the only ones doing this research are creation scientists—because evolutionists just assume the millions of years!

In this fascinating video, Dr. Andrew Snelling, a research geologist, summarizes his findings after carefully studying folded rock layers at Grand Canyon (you can read the technical details in our Answers Research Journal). I encourage you to watch and share it—just based on the rocks themselves, his research really does eliminate the possibility that they formed slowly over long periods of time.
