Wish to hear stupidity? Talk to a religious fundamentalist...
Currently on sale at the official Grand Canyon gift shop there is a book providing an interesting explanation for the formation of that mighty geological feature. Allow me to quote a testimonial for this oh-so-scientifically-rigorous work: 'For years, scientists said that it had been carved slowly by the Colorado River, over a period of milllions of years. It was considered a showcase of evidence of the tremendous erosive power of water, when combined with eons of time. Yet today most geologists acknowledge this explanation must be wrong. Within recent decades, it's becoming a monument to the power of the Creator God, and the terrible effects of the Great Flood described in Genesis 6-9. Steve Austin discusses this changing viewpoint in his beautifully illustrated and well documented book "Grand Canyon: Monument to Catastrophe", (Institute for Creation Research, Santee, CA 92071, 1994),

Presumably that's 'most geologists at the Institute for Creation Research, Santee, CA', rather than 'most geologists who actually hold a degree in Geology'

The Religious Right is controlling every branch of government for the planet's last remaining superpower, kids. Be very fucking afraid.
