Are you new to science or something?
It's out 160,000 years which is an accuracy of one part in 28,000 and you are BITCHING that it is what, not within 1 microsecond or some such rot?
Take a look at our environment in the Universe, our local stuff like the Milky way. We have ONE perspective and have to deduce everything from our one little place in the ...[text shortened]... ines older than 6000 years.
RJ is so thick headed he can't see the forest for the trees.

Besides the photo evidence, photo's taken almost 150 years ago show the Canyon to be substantially the same as it is now. The thing about that is, according to your daft fantasy, if the Earth were only 6K years old, 150 years would clock in at 1/40th of the age of the entire Earth and no great change noted. However, there is solid evidence the GC gets a few feet deeper at a rate the shows the GC to be at least 5 million years old. They know the average cutting rate of the Colorado river and only in blind minds like yours can you not see it to be millions of years old.
It works out to be roughly 1 foot per 1000 years. So 6,000 years ago, only about 6 feet higher. In 150 years, the cut would be maximum 2 inches deeper.
It could not have happened in one big deluge because there would have been hundreds of them just like the GC.
Try again, this time with something you can actually prove, Mr blind.

The Grand Canyon of northern Arizona with an average depth of one mile and a volume of 4.17 trillion cubic metres, is one of the world's largest canyons, sometimes referred to as one of the world's seven natural wonders. The second largest canyon, and the largest in Africa, is the Fish River Canyon in Namibia.
The Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon (or Tsangpo Canyon), along the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, is regarded by some as the deepest canyon in the world at 5,500 m (18,000 ft), and is slightly longer than Grand Canyon. The Kali Gandaki Gorge in midwest Nepal is seen by others to be the deepest canyon, with a 6400 m (21,000 ft) difference between the level of the river and the peaks surrounding it.
Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico is deeper and longer than the Grand Canyon.
These canyons plus the others were probably compiled as mud and carved out by the receding waters of Noah's flood. 😏

Originally posted by sonhouseI don't know why you say there must be hundreds of canyons right next to the Grand Canyon. If that were so then Arizona would be nothing but canyons. The Grand Canyon is so big, it does not leave room for hundreds of canyons in Arizona. But Arizona does have many other canyons and there are canyons in the neighboring states as well. Here are some of Arizona's canyons:

Antelope Canyon, Canyon De Chelly, Canyon X, Glen Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Ramsey Canyon, Ysegi Canyon, and Walnut Canyon.

There are issues with Radiometric dating because the assumption of rates and contamination of the samples. Also assumptions on the rate in which C14 was being created. In a perfect vacuum fine but the world is not that way. C14 being made by bombardment from cosmic rays and C14 is and should be rare.

That flood myth just doesn't hold water as it were🙂

Originally posted by menace71Your doubts about radiometric dating are almost entirely unfounded. 'Assumptions' and variations due to isotope formation &c. are taken into account in the calibration of raw data. Certainly there are some few dates (a vanishingly small proportion) which will be erroneous due to unforeseen circumstances, but in no way do these occur in such numbers as to put the methods into question.

Originally posted by sonhouseYou numbnuts! I didn't even mention all the canyons that are in Arizona. I don't know the names of all of them. That is why I gave you the reference link and that link does not list all of them. Who knows how many canyons and gorges there are around the world? Did you forget that Noah's flood covered the whole Earth? 😏
