Summary: Creationist Geologist With Credentials Examines the G.C.
Review: Anyone who has ever gazed down into the immensity of the Grand Canyon has surely asked himself, "HOW in the world did this ever happen!"If the standard "millions and millions of years" explanation leaves you with questions, read this book. If you want a thorough, intellectually satisfying survey of the Grand Canyon, and the theories of it's origin, this book is for you. If you liked Whitcomb and Morris's "The Genesis Flood", you will like this book. A man who believes the Bible, knows geology, and has carefully studied the Grand Canyon presents his findings in a very readable, interesting, and well illustrated book aimed at the general reader.

Summary: A Whole New Way of Looking at the Earth and Its Past
Review: Standard geology textbooks teach us that, while individual events may be rapid, geologic change (such as erosion) is very slow overall. Austin deftly dispenses with the straitjacket of uniformitarianism, and shows how the Grand Canyon could have been eroded rapidly. Instead of a little river acting over a lot of time, we had a large body of water (Floodwater and its remnants) acting over a short period of time.

Summary: Poor Scientific Work!
Review: The authors of this book make an attempt to prove that the Grand Canyon was formed during Noah's Flood only 4,300 years ago. However, the geologic evidence used to support this theory is full of holes. They present no solid proof of their claim, and even contradict themselves within the book. For instance, the authors try to show that the distribution of the fossil record supports their claim that the Flood killed all the fossils in the rocks. However, even though they claim the Grand Canyon rocks (over a mile of rock layers) was deposited by the flood, there are no dinosaur fossils in the canyon. Dinosaur fossils are all stratigraphically above the canyon layers. Somehow, the dinosaurs survived the first mile of deposition of the flood rocks! Not only that, but they were walking around making footprints, breeding, pooping, and nesting new eggsites, all during the receeding phase of the flood! This is but one example of hundreds of errors by the authors. Before you buy, check out a more thorough review of this book at www.answersincreation.org/bookreview.htm.
