Biblical geology

edit

I am taking this here because it is no longer really on topic for the Teahouse.

To say that a particular scientist "believes in the Bible" does not mean that that person is a biblical literalist, nor does it mean that such a person accepts that the Grand Canyon, or any particular feature, is the result of a Noachian flood. And after all, the term "Grand Canyon" does not appear in the christian Bible, so even a literalist need not believe in a Noachian origin of the Canyon.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no serious suggestion in scientific circles for a largely Catastrophist origin for the Canyon, much less a Noachian one. However, there are some geographic features where a Catastrophic origin has come to be accepted. See Channeled Scablands for one such case. However, note that this is in no way a Biblical explanation. DES (talk) 16:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
