Dear Eric Hovind, which way does the Colorado River flow?

Originally pointed out by YouTube user "ScientiaPerceptum". Frankly I could not BELIEVE that Eric could get any more wrong about the Grand Canyon, I was shocked.

I attended one of Eric's "Debates". He ended with the Ray Comfort pitch of asking the audience "have you ever told a lie? well that that makes you a liar. Have you ever stolen anything, even something small? Well then that makes you a thief!" At which point I yelled out "Have you ever commited Massive tax fraud?" He went beat red and didn't finish the pitch, it was awful.

well observed sir!

I never thought anyone would be dumber than Kent Hovind... oh wait, he pissed in the gene pool & produced Eric, thereby proving that evolution can go backwards... LOL

@scientistable i think you don't understand me

@Kwiknitraat

Im sorry but you are wrong, it flows from east to west, eric has it flowing in the wrong direction first off. from west to east. it enters the sea at the gulf of california, thats its mouth or end.

Therfore giving your height in feet not metres, continental uplift or if you look at waterfall formation, area of hard and soft rock in this case the rocky mountains ,some rivers migrate backstream by a process called rejuvenation

@benthelush You missed the point.

1.Eric has the river flowing the wrong direction.

2. The problem is the river cut the canyon starting 5-7 million years ago and the whole area was thought to be uplifted over 40 million years ago. Rivers go through mountain ranges all the time, because the river was there first. Here the land was uplifted first. I don't see how this problem helps Young Earth Creatards.

"Creationism is correct because I saw some video on youtube"

This generation is so fucked.

@Kwiknitraat You miss the point. How did all the layers exposed by the river get there? Geologists look at the rocks exposed. Creationists are busy trying to prove the canyon could be cut in a short period of time. The Coconino Sandston was from wind blown sands, we know this from the fossils in it and the kind of sand. Not done by water or a flood. The Redwall limestone has slow growing corals in it. A global flood can't make all the geology we find. And the geology proves 'no flood'.

@Kwiknitraat Rivers cut through mountain ranges all the time. The river was there first and the mountains were eroded faster than they rise. The science problem the creationists are trying to exploit is...

Scientists think the Colorado Plateau was raised up when the Rocky Mts. were formed,

>11 Million years ago<. And some scientists think the river took 5-7 Million years to cut the canyon so the mountain was there first. There is some evedence of a lake to the east too. YECs lose anyway.

My question: If the Imaginary Flood deposited the sedimentary layers, where did the stuff erode? Where was it before the Flood?

I am glad someone else noticed this and showed how silly Hovind is. Good Job.
